81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Scott Bessent owns $25m of rent-seeking soybean property that he promised-- and failed-- to divest. I cannot imagine another farmer considering that actively being a "farmer." I'm fairly certain Jimmy Carter wouldn't.

AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say
Like 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000, some AIs seem to resist being turned off and will even sabotage shutdown
When HAL 9000, the artificial intelligence supercomputer in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, works out that the astronauts onboard a mission to Jupiter are planning to shut it down, it plots to kill them in an attempt to survive.

That is why they arrest anyone of color- with or without papers.
They have a quota of how many of us to lock up a day. A quota. Of how many Americans to jail every. single. day. That's neoliberalism working just fine.
Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.
