But capitalist governments and public policy are specifically designed to do this. This is a cause for celebration. It worked!

The world's first trillionaire begged the world's most notorious pedophile to be allowed to come to his child rape island. That's a matter of public record

Good morning everyone.

Socialism, at its core, is the argument that democracy shouldn’t stop at the ballot box. If people can vote for leaders but have no say over the workplaces and economic forces that shape their daily lives, democracy is incomplete. Real democracy means political and economic power with the people.

Prices keep going up, but workers’ pay isn’t keeping up. At the same time, billions are being spent on war and the military. Ordinary people are being asked to sacrifice while corporations and the wealthy continue to profit.

The Cuban people should not be punished for political conflicts with Washington, and Americans should fight for a society that spends less on domination abroad and more on human needs at home.

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind. "One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing." Amazing powers of prediction.

They told us for decades these wars were about “freedom” and “security.” Now they barely hide it. Threatening to invade Iran’s Kharg Island to seize oil isn’t defense, it’s old-fashioned imperialism with modern weapons. Working people pay the price while corporations chase the profits.

How is any of that remotely acceptable and why must we simply resign ourselves to a demonstrably evil system that in no way serves our interests simply because the people who operate that system tell us it’s the only one we’re allowed to have?

🌍 The arrogance of humanity in our pursuit of development often blinds us to the consequences of our actions. We must recognize that our planet is fragile and requires our respect and care. #Sustainability #EarthCare

Saw this on threads and thought of you.

She did win. She handed her genocide off to Trump and went on a book tour.

People talk about our sacred American institutions, but which ones? Institutions that upheld slavery, Jim Crow, union busting, imperial wars, mass surveillance, and corporate domination? Rights weren’t handed down by institutions. They were won by ordinary people fighting against them.

The powerful count on people believing nothing can change. History is full of moments where ordinary people proved them wrong.

science and space travel are best done by people in love with the science not people in love with profit

Even if the US does back off from Iran with a 'deal', this doesn't end there; Cuba will be next. Then someone else. Then someone else. The empire is dying and it thinks it needs to fight in order to survive. The violence and bloodshed will keep growing until/unless we full off a social revolution

Liberals rely on hypotheticals because they refuse to deal with reality and they love the thought of having no choice but to press a button that mass murders millions of people.
