@resisres The US is not happy about this. They can’t have other governments doing good things for its citizens. Their own population will see it . The same for the USSR and every other leftist nation
@resisres Just proves if the leadership of a country wants to better the lives of its people they will do it.
Trump does the opposite. Oppresses Americans.
It's utterly ridiculous that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around, and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing our personal data to sell us targeted ads.
Truly gratifying to see this topic trending across Twitter - for years, I've been reporting on how Obama handing out get-out-of-jail-free cards to Wall Street created the backlash conditions for Trump. It is great to see a conversation finally happening. https://t.co/4WL5Yi6t4y
Mamdani: To be told a city-run grocery store is implausible, but $500 million/day to kill people in Iran & Lebanon is necessary, speaks to a broken politics.
New York City’s Mayor just said what most elected officials won’t.
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”
Mamdani didn’t stop there.
Thousands of civilians killed. Tens of billions spent. And every program that gets called “unrealistic” — housing, healthcare, schools — costs a fraction of what this war has already burned through.
He’s right.
Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots.
Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries.
Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.
This site is mental illness.
The algorithms running these sites aim to create addiction, self-loathing & mental illness.
The mental illness created by these sites is not a bug, it’s a feature.
You are interacting with mental illness when you engage on these sites. Beware.
@emkenobi Fwiw, Harris's polling numbers will probably collapse between now and the end of the primary. She's not even remotely built for this political moment and is coasting off name recognition and having just been the alternative to Trump, not being in the spotlight is doing her favors
MAGA 2021: “You can’t tell me to wear a mask.” “You can’t force a vaccine.” “You can’t make me stay home.”
MAGA 2026: “Just follow orders.” “Have your papers ready.” “Comply and nothing bad happens.”
My 71-year-old client sees his daughter maybe 6 times a year.
They live 50 minutes apart.
Not estranged. Not fighting.
Just... busy.
Holidays. Birthdays. The occasional Sunday dinner.
"We text every day," he told me. "We're really close."
I did the math in front of him.
He's 71. Statistically, he has maybe 12-15 years left.
Six visits a year.
That's 72-90 more times he'll see her in person.
He stared at the number.
"90 more times with my daughter?"
He went quiet for a minute.
"That's it? That's all that's left?"
Tim Urban from Wait But Why calculated something that stopped me cold:
By the time you leave home at 18, you've already spent 93% of your in-person time with your parents.
The remaining 7% gets spread thinly—just a few days per year—across the next several decades of their lives.
You think you have forever.
The math says different.
He called her that night.
Now she comes for coffee every Sunday.
"I've seen her 11 times in the last 3 months," he told me.
"More than all of last year."
He didn't need a financial plan.
He needed to see the number.
Sometimes the most important math has nothing to do with money.
“AI isn’t going away.” “We need guns no matter how many shootings there are.” “Covid is here to stay.” None of you want better, do you? Do you realize none of this has to happen? All of this is preventable. We can all demand better and do better. None of this is inevitable.
Jasmine Crockett is giving Kamala 2.0, so let’s recap some basic facts:
You cannot oppose a genocide and support the genocider.
Being Black and/or a woman- or supporting Black women-does not shield you from accountability for enabling white supremacist occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
Keep ‘Free Palestine’ out your mouth if you’re advocating for a Zionist who stands with Isra*l.
