In Denmark, McDonalds workers make $25 an hour and, if they are over twenty, the company starts paying into a pension plan for them, and in addition they have a full 6 weeks of paid vacation.

Now how much do you think this costs customers? The Economist looked into this and found out that the Big Mac costs 76 cents less than it does here.

Don't believe the lies that raising the minimum wage would force prices to go up.

@factpostnews There are many countries in the world who understand very clearly that poverty and desperation are the most common root cause of crime. If you provide help for those who are desperate, you reduce crime. It’s very simple

New York City just had its safest first 5 months of a year in recorded history.

Murders plunged 21%, and major crime overall is down 11%.

Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

Because subconsciously, they know, “strong men” have always been weak. Every, single, one. Every “strong man” in history has been the weakest human on the planet.

Weak people are drawn to weak leaders who throw fits & act like babies. That’s pretty much the entire explanation

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

No snark, I genuinely don’t get it. Trump is one of the least masculine, most juvenile public figures out there. He’s needy, whiny, defensive, terrified of strong women, and visibly intimidated by powerful men.

How does his base spin this into the ultimate “strongman” image?

The Big Beautiful Bill contains a provision banning state & local governments from regulating AI.

It’s worse than you think.

It would make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.

I didn’t know about the earliest origin of Memorial Day until I was a grown-ass man, and it’s because some folks didn’t want us to.

In 2021, organizers at an Ohio Memorial Day ceremony muted retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter for nearly two minutes the moment he began discussing how formerly enslaved Black Americans exhumed the remains of Union soldiers to give them proper burials.

"Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women."

Thomas Sankara linked feminism with anti-colonialism and social justice. He argued that women’s liberation was essential for national progress and challenged traditional gender roles in Burkina Faso.

Just days after scientists found that bee venom can kill cancer cells, the Trump administration is set to close the nation’s primary bee research laboratory.

This is what local accountability looks like:

In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.

Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.

Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.

Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.

Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥

[C-GAK @cgak]

@ProudSocialist We have two parties so they can divide us, that’s the sole purpose. If we consider democrats and republicans to be on the same side then we know what we have to do, fight against both of them. No matter who is “in charge”

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The real SNAP scandal:

75% of SNAP recipients work.

When employers pay poverty wages, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded programs like SNAP.

That’s corporations abusing SNAP to subsidize their profits at the expense of taxpayers, not SNAP recipients abusing the system.

🚨🇲🇽 Sheinbaum Building Enough Homes to House Every Homeless Person in the U.S. Twice

With an economy 1/15th the size of the U.S., Mexico is building 1.8 million homes for those who need them most by 2030.

That's 2.33 homes for every homeless person in the U.S.
Feeling scammed?

[The Darkpulse Files  𝕏 @Scout_503]

So I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the “Data Center Plains” looks like.👇

My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. That’s why 30+ data centers landed here.

They’re everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it.

And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland that’s been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites.

$7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely dark…

PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway.

A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid.

There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway.

A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall.

Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time.

This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week.

My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents.

Data centers aren’t a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters

OMG no wonder the U.S won’t allow Huawei products & cars to be sold here in the U.S & it’s because they’re so much further advanced than we are in pretty much everything especially electronics & cars.Their products are so aerodynamic & the prices are so much more affordable to us

[C-GAK @cgak]

Every person I know who works for a corp that gets gov contracts said the corps typically charge 2-3 times what they’d actually need to do the job, that’s where your tax dollars go. Fiscally responsible means your taxes go to overpay rich private corporations.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: For too long, New Yorkers have been told ambition must give way to austerity—that government can either be fiscally responsible or invest in people. But never both. This budget proves otherwise.
