I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social

This is a news peg for a previous plea, that the Pulitzer board award the Miami Herald's Julie Brown a special citation, having missed the chance to give her the investigative prize years ago. www.pulitzer.org/prize-winner...

1960s: Power to the people 2026: Power for the people. Every Republican should be asked why they hate #solar, #wind, #renewables, #EVs. And every answer they give (except "we're paid to do so by fossil-fuel companies) is a lie or wrong. They are cheaper, faster, safer, cleaner. #energy

🔥Donald Trump wants supplemental appropriations for this war on Iran on top of a 1 TRILLION dollar defense budget already approved. He and the GOP Congress REFUSED the 31B for tax subsidies for the ACA to SAVE LIVES!🤬

The vicious cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers. 3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

We need a new FDR and New Deal for the 21st century to reverse the extreme wealth accumulation since the 1980s Neoliberal Reagan era.

Nothing is ever done to benefit the people only the corporations. Where is Kennedy? Where is the EPA?

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals. The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry. Where is the MAHA outcry?

As a socialist, words cannot describe how grateful I feel everyday for the existence of outlets like @workingclasshistory.com

#OtD 23 Nov 1969 160 car spray painters at the Peugeot plant in Sochaux, France, went on strike for better sickness benefits. The stoppage idled 21,000 other workers, and two weeks later management were forced to concede stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9599...

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Republicans admit their plan to double ACA premiums & throw 15M off health care is a disaster. Trump’s “big idea” — a one-time check of AT MOST $6,500 — won't even cover cancer treatment or childbirth. Health care is a human right. It's time to expand Medicare & cut drug prices.

bostonglobe.comRepublicans finally want to talk about health care. That’s good — but their ideas are absurd. - The Boston GlobeTheir proposals would take our already broken health care system and make it even worse. Here’s what we should do instead.

It's not ignorance that is causing this. It's a malignant premeditated effort to crash the US economy, transfer wealth and ownership to specific individuals/companies and thus control the needing masses. It's an attempt to recreate the medieval power structures of serfs and rulers.

The problem with the assertion that "the wealthy account for half the spending," is that corporate America can't survive with only half their revenue. They absolutely need us all to spend or they we collapse. We have enormous power to target and bankrupt companies. #GeneralStrike #Boycott

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

Are there no heroes in this country? Does nobody know how to leak documents? There were a thousand of you FBI dumbasses removing Trump’s name. Do none of you have any love for democracy or the world? Such a disappointment.

Sanders: The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions into research and development for AI and robotics. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to be something that will improve life for working people, for low-income people.”?

This is the beating heart of Capitalism—it’s for the RICH. Everyone else exists to serve them and their needs. Meanwhile socialism is for everyone else.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
