Even as public opinion in Germany has changed, the German government continues its support for Israel. Across Europe #entrenchedpolicies continue to shield Israel from accountability. Many western countries, & WWII winners, defy/reject #ICJrulings. The UK is similarly compromised.

This is no ordinary corruption. #Statecapturerewritestherules—or just ignores them. The machinery of democracy is turned into a mechanism for the enrichment & power of those now in charge. Elections become a meaningless façade.

Millions of young people have taken to the streets across continents – from Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Kenya, Tanzania, Morocco, Madagascar, Peru and Paraguay – to denounce #corruptionandcollapsingpublicsystems.

#Globalyouthrevolts are increasing, shattering entrenched power. The establishment is not going to go easily. After all, it can call on the military & rig the system. Witness Trump/his oligarchs/Magagovernors Witness the cash spent by billionaires to oppose progressives seeking office.

The #CAwealth tax would direct 90% of those funds to its Medicaid recipients & the institutions that serve them with the remaining 10% going to the state’s K-12 schools. Other states are considering similar action
November 11, 2025 at 5:43 PM
If the #MagacontrolledCongress or the #corporateDemelites will not take action, some states may be taking action. A proposed 2026 CA state ballot measure would establish a onetime wealth tax, a 5% tax on the 2025 income of the state’s roughly 200 billionaires.

Only 3% of #internationalclimateaid goes to transitioning communities
< 3% of international aid to slash C emissions is supporting a #justtransition away from polluting industries Of 650 projects, only 1/50 met justtransition criteria; only $1/$35 was spent on justransition projects

In this #socialmediaage, those with big platforms have long been able to create their own reality as they go along, why pollsters can consistently find someone who confirms their positions/thoughts.

#Thinkaboutit Who drives a #hiddeneconomy? Customers eager for a break. Politicians aren’t listening. Many of them firmly believe that #IDcards/showmeyourpapers will settle the issue.

In the US #softsecession may drive many to more underthetable/cash work. Why continue to fund the government taking away healthcare & free speech? People will need to return to #Victorygardens given the loss of farmworkers & unharvested crops. #Vegetableseedswerescarce with Covid

#UKpoliticians who believe that the UK is suffering from an

Large US cities are renovating old #intercitybusstations or renovating them into #multimodal stations for bus/rail. Detroit/LosAngeles/Washington DC/Atlanta/Boston/Dallas/NYC among
them. Detroit’s resurrection is the greatest, where #FordMotorCo owns/restored an old train station.
