“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

Don’t buy on #AmazonCrimeDay
We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it.
Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation.
We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.

Meteorologists cost less than search and rescue teams.
Climate science costs less than the deployment of helicopters, boats, and military at every disaster.
Sirens cost less than coffins.
Texas - and the rest of the world - would do well to remember that.

Climate change caused the Texas flooding tragedy
And ignorance and cowardice will continue to fuel these monster disasters.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

#Texas tragedy foretells future for warming climate
"This kind of record-shattering rain (caused by slow-moving torrential thunderstorms) event is *precisely* that which is increasing the fastest in a warming climate".

Texas tragedy foretells future for warming climate, scientists say
Local governments should be ready for "more, bigger, extreme events," one scientist warned.

People are dying
Q: "A 75 year old Cuban national died in ICE custody. He had lived in the U.S. for 60 years...Is there anything you can tell us about that?"
Border Czar Tom Homan: "People die in ICE custody. People die in county jails. People die in state prisons."

Fact Check: NIH has played a crucial role in the development of antiretroviral therapy. UNAIDS estimates that antiretroviral therapy has saved 20.8 million lives. PEPFAR estimates closer to 25 million saved if prevented pediatric cases are included. Talk about the big lie.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.
My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Zohran Mamdani didn't just crush a political machine which had the money behind it.
He hasn't just re-energised the US left.
He's given hope to all of us who want an alternative to this gruesome age of injustice, creeping fascism, war and genocide.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

Don’t worry, gang. Surely a little more bullshit and bluster will solve an incredibly complex geopolitical problem.

An angry Trump decries Israel, Iran for breaking ceasefire
The president didn't hide his frustration at both Israel and Iran for violating the deal he had heralded one day earlier.

LA DODGERS just now:
“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”
Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.
