So unaffordable groceries, gas, and rent are a "hoax," but pretending tax breaks for billionaires and corporations will trickle down to us is "smart economic policy."
Got it.

"To know both countries is to watch, in split screen, two similar societies diverge radically in how they respond to an atrocity."
Two countries. Two tragedies. One huge difference.
In the wake of the Bondi massacre, Australia is uniting in a way that seems impossible in Donald Trump’s post-truth America.

Swastikas are a symbol of Nazis and violent antisemitism, and they should NEVER be tolerated in our country — much less by our military.
This is absolutely horrific. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing.
People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

Today, parts of the USA celebrate Indigenous People’s Day.
The rest celebrate a convicted criminal who couldn’t read his navigation instruments right and returned to Spain in chains, leaving Amerigo Vespucci to figure out the hemisphere bearing Amerigo’s name (and not the other guy) wasn’t Asia.

Looking at you @governorferguson.bsky.social Get your other gov buddies together and put your money where you mouth is! Oh wait, OUR money. MY money. Your constituents’ money. We shouldn’t be paying taxes to a fascist federal government. Stop letting our dollars fund genocide and targeted racism
Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.

Blue whales are going eerily silent—and scientists say it’s a warning sign
A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?

Some folks haven’t spent decades fighting a GOP-dominated government and it shows…
The GOP always lies. They are corrupted by big donors. They cover up both lies and corruption. They never admit to any wrongdoing. They project their illegal activity on to the other side.
Rinse. Repeat.

You cannot afford to rent for the same reason your wages seem too low.
Corporate profits.
At a fundamental level, profit is the difference between a corporation’s revenue and expenses.
To increase profits then, you increase revenue, decrease expenses, or both.
