If optics or looting or the capitalist class losing a tiny fraction of their stolen wealth to vandalism is more important to you than the freedom of an oppressed class, more important to you than THIS 👇🏼, you need to reevaluate your priorities.

Psychopathic LAPD shot a female pedestrian in the chest who was just trying to get home to her apartment. Seemingly not at all involved in the protests, which would be no excuse for this behavior anyway. Gross abuse of power. Burning a Waymo doesn't even come close to the violence of the state.

Chris Hedges describes his experience as a war correspondent & journalist as a prelude 4 viewers to understand that this man knows what he is talking about (in case there were any doubts).

#ChrisHedges is the real deal.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

For example, the town of Beilun in eastern China is home to over 3,000 mold factories,which produce everything from cake molds to molds for making Tesla car parts. A few hours away in the town of Gaoyou,there are roughly 1,300 factories that manufacture street lamps and other kinds of road lighting.
Why It’s Impossible for Most Small Businesses to Manufacture in the US
American companies that make everything from keychains to mattresses say Chinese manufacturing is superior, and tariffs won’t be enough to shift production to the United States.

Last night, I made the questionable decision to log in to my Twitter account to finally delete it. Wow, what a cess pool that place has become. One of the first posts I see is MAGA congratulating themselves over Trump's crowd at UFC (which I guess means Bernie can take credit for Coachella).

If you put aside $1000 every day for 2000 years, you still wouldn't be a billionaire.

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk make in 1min, 24 hours a day, what takes many Americans an entire year to earn.

Three people in the United States have more accumulated wealth than the bottom 50%—170,000,000 people.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

“The reality is it would take three years and $30bn in our estimation to move even 10% of its supply chain from Asia to the US with major disruption in the process. For US consumers the reality of a $1,000 iPhone being one of the best made consumer products on the planet would disappear.”
US price of $1,000 iphone could rise to $2,150, maybe $3,500.

Due to supply chain issues, it will take years for it to be produced in the US.

People also facing price hikes in everyday things.

Trump's turmoils will hit other countries too as supply chains shift.
$2,150 for an iPhone? Trump tariffs are ‘category 5 price storm’
US is not set up to supply mobile phones and would cost estimated $30bn to move just 10% of chain from China
