“The left has the disadvantage of presiding over a period of austerity.

Mainstream media is not the mainstream anymore. The mainstream is this parallel infrastructure of TikToks, podcasts, etc.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

In 49 states and at the federal level, police can (unconstitutionally) buy your geolocation data (often harvested from smartphone apps) from advertising data brokers and bypass getting a warrant from a judge for it.

Montana has become the first state to close this loophole.
