Amazon pulled in $62.6 billion fucking dollars this last QUARTER alone in net income, a 245% INCREASE year over year. But yeah, workers demanding a fair wage and safe working conditions are the problem. Everyone needs to start demanding higher wages.

When you really think about it, our country avoiding high speed rail as the most obvious solution to connect neighboring metros together for the last 70 years has actually been quite impressive.

This is at the root of the biggest problems in America.

The Iran war has cost U.S. consumers an estimated $96.2 billion in additional gasoline and diesel expenses since February 28, equivalent to roughly $734 per household, according to Brown University’s Iran War Energy Cost Tracker.

➤ Gasoline accounts for $52.56 billion of that burden. The national average rose from $2.982 to $4.095 a gallon, an increase of 37.3%.

➤ Diesel accounts for another $43.61 billion. Its average price climbed from $3.670 to $5.633 a gallon, up 53.5%.

➤ Researchers estimate the additional costs by comparing actual fuel prices with projected prices without the war, using AAA, U.S. Energy Information Administration and Census Bureau data. Brown University

@skooks There are no good guys in this soap opera. The developer originally called them luxury condos. Also, the transit routes or grocery store are unaccessable across the industrial canal. King lives near there and killed it. English Turn residents are exactly who you think they are.

New NDAs I obtained today show Louisiana officials appear to be negotiating with Oracle and Tesla, among other companies.

CORPORATE POLITICAL SPENDING JUST BLEW PAST THE ENTIRE 2024 RECORD.

2024 - $461 million

Louisiana families are paying more than ever for insurance. Meanwhile rates continue to skyrocket, insurance companies are reporting massive profits, and policyholders are getting delayed, denied, and underpaid. #LaLege #LaGov

125k acres of fragile LA marshland for rockets? Landry calls this 'coastal protection,' but we know the math: corporate handouts won't save our disappearing coast.

In my classroom, that's a zero.

New Orleans ended 2025 with its lowest murder count in more than 50 years—proving what's possible when cities make sustained investments in community violence intervention. https://t.co/dZEaEF1Wf4

"It was always $10 billion with a wink." — Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Susan Bourgeois

Bourgeois and her team signed NDAs with Entergy & Meta knowing that the original, public Hyperion announcement was just the opening bid.

[Commissioner Davante Lewis @davantelewis]

Our Governor, who likes to negotiate in secret, wants us to trust that storing radioactive waste in our state will be a good deal for the public.

I think we are, once again, being told to accept the risks while someone else collects the rewards. #lagov #energyjustice

Republicans want your power bill to go up. More money in the 1%'s pocket.

Overnight trains from NYC to Montreal would be incredible, but given high speed rail could do this trip in three hours, it feels like such a policy failure to accommodate such slow travel times.

Amtrak has the perfect opportunity to bring back dome cars with the new single level long distance car fleet. Don't disappoint me, Amtrak.

In H1 2026, solar generated over 10% of global electricity – up from 8.9% in H1 2025.

But while solar meets a quarter of global power demand at midday, it fades to near zero at night.

As battery deployment accelerates solar can grow into the evening 🔋

An overwhelming 92% of American have either delayed or totally abandoned medical care because of how expensive it is, according to a new survey.

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

The obsession with race and identity never came from the far-left, it was always coming from corporatists like @davidaxelrod who don't think economic power is important.
