Henry Ford was generally a racist and a bad person, but he understood something our current broligarchs have completely forgotten.
He said: I have to pay my workers enough to afford the products they’re building.
Give them a house, decent schools, reasonable healthcare.
If I do that, they’re not descending on my Dearborn mansion with pitchforks while I eat my caviar.
We’ve lost that plot entirely.
We have broligarchs who want to be trillionaires and they’re missing the lesson that a deeply flawed man figured out a hundred years ago.
Capitalism works, but only if people believe the game is worth playing.
Right now they don’t and history is very clear about what comes next.
Tens of thousands of trees are being cut down in Georgia to make way for transmission lines for data centers
- 1,000 miles of new lines are being installed by Georgia Power
- Equivalent power of 4 million homes will be used
- 330 homes impacted
- 30 homes full demolished
- 80% of power generated is going to data centers
Estimated tens of thousands of trees being cut down for the new lines. 400 trees were cut down just one one property
Where are the environmentalists??
A German court has ruled that Google is liable for the false statements generated by its AI Overviews feature. The ruling could have massive impacts on the world's biggest search engine, which recently doubled down on giving users AI-generated results.
The Iran deal was signed on Sunday. The fact that the trump Administration hasn’t released the deal language and instead is having @JDVance try to spin the deal in advance tells you all you need to know.
France's Foreign Minister put it well:
A strike on the Lavra is the equivalent of bombing Notre-Dame.
This is what russia calls defending Christianity.
The DOJ is attempting a cover-up.
I discovered a quiet policy change that now lets the AG approve prison transfers at their discretion.
This comes after they moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a prison that doesn't allow sex offenders. This is an attempt to cover their tracks. I will keep demanding answers.
This farmer just said the quiet part out loud.
“I was nothing more than a serf on the land.”
“A chemically-addicted farmer beholden to all these large ag conglomerates.”
“Monsanto.”
“Big seed companies.”
But Kevin Fulton escaped.
He transitioned his Nebraska farm to an organic, regenerative operation in 2002.
“I can’t tell you how good that feels to not have all those gorillas on your back.”
Now, he’s warning that pesticide companies are threatening to put countless farmers at risk with their push for a federal liability shield from lawsuits over harms caused by pesticides.
“We have to be able to… stand up against them and have some type of recourse if there’s damages.”
The stakes could not be higher as Congress debates the 2026 Farm Bill.
The House voted to strip the pesticide liability shield out, but it’s still unclear if the Senate will vote to put it back in.
And on top of that, Congress must decide if this Farm Bill will provide vital support for farmers to transition from conventional pesticide and chemical farming to regenerative practices.
Regenerative farming protects human health, restores soil health, and empowers farmers to keep their profits out of the hands of Big Ag corporations that treat them like serfs on their own land.
This Farm Bill is a pivotal moment for independent farmers.

With over 10,000 Baby Boomers retiring every day, Social Security offices need staff now more than ever.
However, Trump's been gutting Social Security offices across the country by pushing out over 9,000 employees, leaving a scourge of “ghost offices” that can barely function.
Now they want to remove the ocean monitoring system so the damage they do can't be measured. It's in project 2025.
In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something very strange.
While the rest of the ocean heats up, it's been getting colder. A new study says it has the answer to this mystery — and it's an ominous sign the world is hurtling toward one of the most alarming climate tipping points.

Why is the U.S. giving Iran $25 billion for “humanitarian purposes” when the Navajo Nation Reservation is declaring a state of emergency due to having no access to fresh drinking water?
ICE vehicles hit their car while their children were inside. Then agents dragged the parents out during drop-off and a preschool graduation, in front of crying kids. All on school property.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that schools are supposed to be safe places for children, not federal ambush zones.
That’s not public safety. That’s state-sponsored trauma.
The ammunition to fight ICE is here: https://t.co/Txyhf9LSil
The loss of family farms isn’t measured only by the number of farms that disappear.
It’s also measured by the millions of acres of farmland that disappear with them.
“The U.S. lost over 140,000 farms between the 2017 and 2022 agriculture census.”
“We lost… around 20 million acres of farmland.”
We at Farm Action are doing everything we can to protect family farmers and keep America’s farmland in the hands of those who work it.

The insurance industry does not want you to know this:
Medicare for All would cover everyone. It would cost most families less than what they pay right now. It would eliminate the bureaucratic nightmare that wastes billions of dollars every year. Money that could go toward actual care.
The only people who lose under Medicare for All are the executives pocketing billions while denying your claims.
That is exactly why they fight it. And exactly why we have to fight harder.
A 250-foot arch at Arlington. No cost estimate. No congressional approval. Memorializes nothing and no one.
Trump: "We don't need anything from Congress."
There's a 34-year-old law that says otherwise. The graves there disagree too.
These guys represent a different time in college basketball, albeit not long ago.
Jalen, Josh and Mikal had years of continuity under @CoachJayWright (Mikal redshirted!) growing under Jay's mantra: "Humble and Hungry."
Now seeing the success continue like this is just so great.
Hurricane intensity forecasting requires deep ocean temperature data. That's what the Pioneer Array off North Carolina's Outer Banks collects.
It's being pulled from the water. Hurricane season started June 1.
A house in Buxton fell into the ocean last week during a minor storm. The system that would have helped predict it is being dismantled.
