our struggles are interconnected in ways we can't even imagine
For @thenation.com and @typeinvestigations.org, I looked into American Landmark, a major landlord filing evictions far more than the national average.
I found they are owned by an Israeli company with ties to the IDF, including during the Gaza genocide. (1/10)

The Eviction Kings
One of Israel’s biggest companies is taking over huge swaths of US real estate—and tenants are paying the price.

Humanity's self annihilating drives are very manifest in the unprecedented acceleration of change in the last 200 years.
If anything survives it will probably not be what we have previously referred to as human.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Many on the far-right believe we’re going too far when we call this administration a fascist regime. But we’re simply watching its actions & speaking the truth of what they’re doing.
Decide for yourself. Look at what they’ve done & how it matches up to fascism.

the only thing that would have saved him is if our administrations actually had reasonable gun control in the aftermath of the last hundred school shootings.

Felon/GOP’s politically motivated military occupation, like what you would expect from a hostile enemy nation, is an ATTACK on USA prosperity! Blue states/cities are the economic engine, providing the MAJORITY of funding for red states/cities! Crime rates are higher in red states/cities/rural areas!

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

The Trump-worshipping state of Alabama has a homicide rate that’s 3 times higher than the rate in New York City. But you never hear Trump talking about the crime crisis in Alabama.
