"since Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of USAID, which accounts for less than 1% of the federal budget. It’s callous for gleeful billionaires like Musk and Trump to cut children off from medicine"

This is putting your fortune to good use. Michael Bloomberg says his foundation and other funders will cover the U.S. contribution to the U.N. climate body's budget. This is the second time he's stepped in to fill the gap.

Perhaps the system is not broken. Perhaps it is functioning exactly as intended. Only the facade of propriety is coming apart and now we see the parts moving within.

Our oppressors are spooked by the devastation their greed has wrought and show their hands in their panicked squabbling.

Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming

The Laken Riley Act is a sweeping assault on legal immigration. It would subject immigrants *authorized to live and work here* to indefinite detention without a criminal conviction. And it would let a federal judge ban ALL visas from entire countries at a state's request. slate.com/news-and-pol...
This New Immigration Bill That’s About to Pass Is a Horrifying Trojan Horse

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.
