Every person on Earth could live with dignity: food, clean water, safe housing, healthcare, schooling, energy & clothes for ≈ $16 trillion a year.
15% of the world’s GDP.
We spend more than that on wars, tax breaks for billionaires, & fossil fuel subsidies.
The resources exist.
The will does not.

More valid media criticism from @sulliview.bsky.social. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/big-protes...
Big protests — but not big news
Throngs of anti-Trump and anti-Musk protesters gathered in every state. Why was some media coverage so quiet — or almost non-existent?

1/ The number of protests planned for tomorrow is enormous. Given what Trump has done to the economy, and everyone's collective ability to pay for household expenses/retirement I'd expect them to be huge. Find out more at handsoff2025.com

THIS. 53 people died, in a country that has been enduring a shattering proxy war for years, where not a single powerful actor has any regard for the actual lives of the Yemeni people.
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.
