Since my twitter history is now pointless, basically I’m a Midwest socialist who is interested in international law, current events, and philosophy. I need to rebuild the a group here on Bluesky so shoot me a dm ✌️

According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by almost $200 billion between November 5 and December 20. That means he could give $250,000 to every homeless person in the US and still be as rich as he was on November 5.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

NEW PAPER: The 2022 fossil fuel price jumps caused an oil and gas profit explosion. We show the US reaped the largest profit increase (USD 275bn) of any country. Big Oil claims this benefits the American people. In fact, 51% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A 🧵

The popularity of the “manosphere” is honestly one of the more frightening things to me. The way the culture, esp among the youth, is slipping into an explicitly sexist and highly gendered world view is disturbing.

An emboldened fringe of right-wing “manosphere” influencers has seized on Donald Trump’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online.

Solidarity, to me, is rooted in the belief that life, not money, is sacred. And it requires a commitment to reflecting that faith in our relationships, movements, institutions, and social policies.

That's why there's an aggressive effort now to blame "identity politics," it's a retcon because Harris ran exactly the campaign centrists wanted, catering to conservatives, never criticizing Netanyahu, never blaming billionaires or big corporations, the works—just to lose to Old Man Yells at Cloud.
I agree on the centrist point and frankly there are a lot of people out there who are just saying what they need to say to cover their ass and cash a check. It sucks.
The Cheney thing is a clear example of a bad idea that the people who pushed it won’t take responsibility for. They need to
