I genuinely think elites see poor grammar in emails as a sign of intelligence. Something along the lines of "I'm too important and busy to show even the tiniest bit of effort into making this clear and legible."

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR.

Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.

The system is rigged.

Capitalism is when innovation*.

*Making superficial adjustments which enables the discontinuation of the previous model so that the product is; less repairable, made of cheaper materials, more prone to failure, and ultimately quicker to replacement.

Holy shit. That's just seventeen kinds of wrong.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

There hasn’t been this many people lining up around the country to get food assistance since the last time Trump was president.

Right-wing social media:

1. Grifters launch crazed conspiracy. Conspiracy spread by usual suspects.

2. Claim media is ignoring it to “cover it up.”

3. Conspiracy proven false. The arrests and investigations promised by grifters never happen.

4. Launch new crazed conspiracy.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Holy shit. That puts the "hideous" in "tacky."

Trump every time he’s confronted about one of his lies: “Who are you with?”

Reporter: Gives name of company.

Trump: You’re fake news. You’re terrible. I’m not calling on you anymore! You should be ashamed of yourself! This is why nobody watches you!

Then goes back to lying.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

The claim that “emissions have come down” in this @nytimes.com @sominisengupta.bsky.social article on where we are ten years post-Paris is FALSE.

Global emissions were at an all-time high in 2024.

As it stands this claim is misinformation. They need to issue a correction!

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Morales: I don’t care if you’re the most individualistic person on the planet—because you “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” and think government should stay out of your business and “don’t tread on me.” Climate change is already treading on you, and you should care about this issue.
