The people who support $12B in corporate welfare to farms and forgave $80B in auto bailouts and forgave $700B in bank bailouts and forgave $755B in PPP loans want you to know that forgiving medical debt and student debt is socialism😐

If by “torn cornea” you mean “the hypocritical optics of teaming up with convicted sex trafficker Gislaine Maxwell to alleviate the Epstein files saga”, then sure.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Safe streets advocates are out on Lake Washington Boulevard today, protecting the entrances to Bicycle Weekend open streets with their bodies after an alarming close call collision involving a kid last two weeks ago.
They're calling for more robust street protection.

I've said this before and I'll say this again -- why FIFA and IOC think having the 26 World Cup and 28 Summer Olympics in the United States will be anything but a disaster for non-white athletes is beyond me. Below is a preview of what to expect. This is fascistic.
The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics.

You can do cool things with A.I. but you can do even cooler things with reality, like what Brussels did with Boulevard Anspach (not A.I.)

Perhaps THE most crucial message for our times:
Neoliberal politics, including 'centrist', leaves huge numbers of people feeling economically excluded, and is what feeds and creates the conditions for fascism.
Unless this is widely understood and acted on, the future is *extremely* dark.

One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism.

Rightwing populists will keep winning until we grasp this truth about human nature | George Monbiot
Economic inequality breeds resentment and a desire to get even. That’s what fuels support for even incompetent regimes, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot
