Walking around DC, I'm realizing my vague respect for the military has been replaced by visceral anger and rejection seeing those uniforms on my streets.
Maybe this is the end of the US's creepy worship of the military and assumption of competence. Cause man those look like collaborators not heros.

The odious criminal who is in charge of the US is trying to take down our national broadcasting service & people like Farage are cheering him on.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

When Norway implemented a 78% Fossil Fuel tax everyone said the private companies would pack up and leave rather than pay that much tax.
Instead Shell, BP and Equinor fight each other for contracts.
They won't leave even if they get only one penny, they are too greedy.
