I think this is easily the most dystopian thing happening right now. Not ai or the normalization of a surveillance state but the ability for people to gamble on wars. To gamble on the lives of people in other countries. This is insane to me

Never forget Obama and then Biden teed Trump up for the coup against Venezuela. Joint project. Evil empire.

Kind of a joke that the whole world has to act like 9/11 was some kind of unique tragedy every year when the US terrorises the entire planet every week

94% of Americans will pay into Social Security the entire year.

Here’s when the wealthiest Americans will stop paying into it on January 1st:

Elon Musk - 12:00:28am
Larry Ellison - 12:00:29am
Larry Page - 12:00:58am
Sergey Brin - 12:01:05am
Jeff Bezos - 12:01:45am
Michael Dell - 12:02:09am
Jensen Huang - 12:02:18am
Mark Zuckerberg - 12:03:59am
Steve Ballmer - 12:04:50am
Warren Buffett - 12:04:50am

We can protect Social Security by scrapping the cap on Social Security.

people still won't put together that the pandemic, and in particular the "back to normal" campaign, are the driving force behind this. essentially, we *had* something like a general strike, and we got offered a pizza party and worse conditions than we had before to end it early

On this day in history, Abraham Lincoln ordered the largest mass hanging! 38+2 Dakota Warriors were hanhed in Mankato Minnesota! Their crime? Stealing a cow to feed their people that Indian Agents were starving! Hell was made for your presidents!

[10 Dec 2024] Opening Remarks from @DrTedros at WHO media briefing:

“We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense.

“It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills.

“The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to.”

Unsheltered homelessness increased 27% between 2022 and 2024. The only reason there are less encampments is because the city has spent more than $50 million on systematically destroying and throwing away people's tents and impounding their vehicles with 3,000+ sweeps.

kinda wild that stuff like universal healthcare or debt forgiveness were just totally off the table this election. not even up for discussion. feel like the last few elections were were at least talking about stuff like that

in what many people think of as the bluest state, voters decided to CONTINUE the practice of legal slavery. america is irredeemable

The City is denying Seattleites 1,500 hours of learning, checking out books, applying for jobs, talking with neighbors, sheltering from bad weather, and, though librarians should not be de facto social workers, perhaps overdose prevention, workers said.

[Jesse Hagopian @JessedHagopian]

The STARTING salary for cops was raised to $105k, w/ a department budget of over $370 million—the only city department without a hiring freeze.

The Seattle Public Library budget is $86.9 million.

The budgets are connected, & budgets reflect values.

Biden’s spent 2 years pretending he can’t sign the piece of paper that would cancel our student debt like he promised, but he managed to bail out a bank for irresponsible rich people in 24 hours 👍

[West Seattle Mutual Aid Party @MutualAidParty]

Every single one of our friends who received these threats have been forcibly displaced by the city from other, less residential areas within the last week. This is the logical outcome of the city's policies as they are being implemented.
