By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Robert Reich is always great but this video by Gabriel Zucman clearly explains wealth inequality and why a wealth tax of the ultra rich is needed.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

The wealth of the richest 0.1 percent of Americans has more than doubled since 2019. If that doesn't convince you we need a wealth tax, renowned economist Gabriel Zucman will. Watch.

Superb idea. But, bipartisan isn't functioning right now. Instead, or in addition, perhaps the committee should include an ethicist, lawyers or law professors who specialize in criminal justice reform (e.g. the Innocence Project).

Susan Collins has had skeletons in her closet for a long time. Maybe journalists will finally start looking into them now that Propublica broke the story about her criminal bribery scandal with a defense contractor. It’s time to let the public know just how corrupt Collins is.

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

It is nauseating and truly evil that our government - using our tax dollars - is intentionally harming children. Thank you for sharing this RoseMarie. I hope it is widely read.

🇺🇸The number of data centers in the United States is poised to explode! Remember the hungry caterpillar? 🐛 We’re being infested by the energy hungry data centers.

🤯 What AI data centers and the corporations behind them DON’T want you to see. This is simply mind-blowing!👇🏽 (Thank you @pbsnews.org @pbs.org)

Profit means nothing on a dead planet. "When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realize that you cannot eat money." We're not separate from nature. We are nature.

Do not let this go, folks. RFK Jr. is lying. “We did cuts in the FoodNet program, but they were redundant surveillance… we’re still doing surveillance in all the states.” He minimized measles. Don’t let him minimize the cyclosporiasis outbreak.

The world needs to hear this chorus: STOP cutting what keeps us alive. The Amazon is burning. The Congo is bleeding. Deforestation is ecocide. Let this be the tweet you didn't just scroll past. Repost it.

Todd Blanche is as evil as Jeffrey Epstein because Blanche has the power to prosecute the powerful men who raped children and trafficked women but instead he is engaged in a massive cover up to protect the rapists.

Imagine if Republicans had even half the balls of E. Jean Carroll, Stormy Daniels, Christine Blasey Ford, Anita Hill, or the Epstein survivors.

Local communities are the best guardians of the forest. Partner with them, respect their knowledge, and educate on sustainable practices. Conservation succeeds when people who live there thrive. Empowerment > enforcement.
