I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn a living wage and need a second job. Something about that math just doesn’t add up.

Shoutout to the ABSOLUTE LEGEND who relentlessly mocked Trump at his rally in Georgia yesterday. Here are some highlights.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.

@RevRevvinEv I had a couple of success stories off the apps but it’s been 6+ years since. Haven’t bothered with any apps in years. Waste of time.

@BillAckman Knowing your political stance, what is your point?

In commemoration of our nation's 250th birthday, it is great to see what government environmental policy can indeed do sometimes. Government isn't always the solution to all problems, but sometimes . . . Welcome back, Bald Eagles!

Rich people don't die if you tax them.

Poor people do die when you cut welfare and healthcare.

no comment, just 2 facts.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?

[Christine @ChristineAlba]

@VictorVescovo Serious guts!

[𐌁𐌉Ᏽ 𐌕𐌉𐌌𐌉 @OrevaZSN]

Listen, no one is “vilifying” rich people.
They are actual villains. If you run a billion dollar company, give yourself millions in dollars and benefits, but pay your individual workers less than a living wage and give them pathetic insurance, what are you if not a villain?

Minimum wage would need to be $66 an hour to match the buying power boomers had in the 70s.

Mothers in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran love their children as much as you love yours.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.

If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Netanyahu is the extremist who killed 75,000 in Gaza.

The extremist who said invading Iraq would create "enormous positive reverberations."

The extremist who has pushed U.S. presidents to go to war with Iran for decades.

Finally, he found a President who said yes.

Tragic.

Whitney Webb delivered a chilling wake-up call in her recent interview:

“A digital prison without walls could be incredibly comfortable… and you would willingly walk into it.”

She warns we’re being seduced into techno-enslavement not by force, but by convenience and comfort — the same comforts that make prison tolerable: a roof, food, no need to struggle for survival.

Her core concerns remain stark:

- AI is aggressively positioned to replace the most human activities: art, music, writing, genuine emotional bonds

- Children are already being conditioned to form attachments to robots and algorithms over parents (ads show toddlers saying “I love you” to domestic bots)

- Several architects of these systems have documented ties to Jeffrey Epstein — should we trust them to program emotional companions that spend unsupervised time with our kids?

- Outsourcing creativity and connection risks leaving us cognitively diminished — post-human shells that no longer create or truly feel

Her urgent call to action:

Actively build local, resilient, analog alternatives.
Prioritize real-world creativity (especially with children).
Reject the cult of convenience before the cage locks.

“The price of convenience is freedom.”

Months later, the trend lines are only steeper.
Are we sleepwalking into a cozy cage — or is there still time to choose humanity over the algorithm?

What’s one analog practice you’re protecting (or starting) to stay anchored in the real world?

@oggii_0 Except this still just scratches the surface
