There's actually legislation in Califomia to shorten the workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours without a reduction in pay, which would be the most transformative labor legislation in our generation, and it should be bigger news but it barely made a headline.

Ohio Republicans secretly awarded Google, Meta, and Amazon $600 million in tax breaks to build data centers.

The tax breaks were written to last 40 years and cannot be undone.

In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.

@factpostnews There are many countries in the world who understand very clearly that poverty and desperation are the most common root cause of crime. If you provide help for those who are desperate, you reduce crime. It’s very simple

New York City just had its safest first 5 months of a year in recorded history.

Murders plunged 21%, and major crime overall is down 11%.

Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Because subconsciously, they know, “strong men” have always been weak. Every, single, one. Every “strong man” in history has been the weakest human on the planet.

Weak people are drawn to weak leaders who throw fits & act like babies. That’s pretty much the entire explanation

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

No snark, I genuinely don’t get it. Trump is one of the least masculine, most juvenile public figures out there. He’s needy, whiny, defensive, terrified of strong women, and visibly intimidated by powerful men.

How does his base spin this into the ultimate “strongman” image?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The Big Beautiful Bill contains a provision banning state & local governments from regulating AI.

It’s worse than you think.

It would make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.

BLACKROCK CEO LARRY FINK SAYS TRILLIONS FOR AI DATA CENTERS AND POWER GRIDS WILL HAVE TO COME FROM AMERICANS’ SAVINGS AND PENSION FUNDS

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man, and it’s because some folks didn’t want us to.

In 2021, organizers at an Ohio Memorial Day ceremony muted retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter for nearly two minutes the moment he began discussing how formerly enslaved Black Americans exhumed the remains of Union soldiers to give them proper burials.

"Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women."

Thomas Sankara linked feminism with anti-colonialism and social justice. He argued that women’s liberation was essential for national progress and challenged traditional gender roles in Burkina Faso.

Just days after scientists found that bee venom can kill cancer cells, the Trump administration is set to close the nation’s primary bee research laboratory.

This is what local accountability looks like:

In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.

Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.

Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.

Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.

Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥

@ProudSocialist We have two parties so they can divide us, that’s the sole purpose. If we consider democrats and republicans to be on the same side then we know what we have to do, fight against both of them. No matter who is “in charge”

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The real SNAP scandal:

75% of SNAP recipients work.

When employers pay poverty wages, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded programs like SNAP.

That’s corporations abusing SNAP to subsidize their profits at the expense of taxpayers, not SNAP recipients abusing the system.

🚨🇲🇽 Sheinbaum Building Enough Homes to House Every Homeless Person in the U.S. Twice

With an economy 1/15th the size of the U.S., Mexico is building 1.8 million homes for those who need them most by 2030.

That's 2.33 homes for every homeless person in the U.S.
Feeling scammed?
