Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

ICE (more likely CBP but unclear) snatched a man from a Charlotte church today. His wife and child were there and they opened a closed gate to trespass on the property. Reporting from @charlotteobserver.com

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

Can you imagine a woman of color, say a Black reporter, who was caught in an affair with a Presidential candidate THAT SHE WAS COVERING, getting completely rehabilitated less than a year later with a cushy new job and puff piece profile in the paper of record?

Nope.

Fossil fuel lobbyists once again make up the second largest delegation at #COP30.

That’s beyond unacceptable.

It’s like letting wolves into a conference run by sheep about what to do with the wolf problem and then letting the wolves dictate what the sheep will do to them.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
