For generations workers sought 8-8-8… and an American standard of living = middle class standard of living… the past 50 years has seen that aspiration denied! We now need to fight for an economic bill of rights to guarantee all Americans a job at a living wage with a voice in the workplace, healthcare, a decent home, a good education, opportunities for recreation and adventure.
George Will: “Voters should say to many Republican incumbents what Oliver Cromwell said in 1653 to England’s Long Parliament: ‘You have sat here too long for any good you have been doing … Depart, I say, and let us have done with you.’”
The die is cast. To secure American democratic life, we must resist and overcome not only the initiatives of the greedy, corrupt, bigoted and narcissistic bully who currently occupies the White House, but also the anti-democratic ambitions and schemes of corporate capital and the right. If our parents and grandparents’ lives tell us anything, it is that it’s not just a matter of rejecting authoritarianism but of acting in solidarity to radically enhance freedom, equality and democracy.

Folks. If we’re going to be a big tent, then damnit we need to be a big tent. We need all hands on deck right now. Trump isn’t going to willingly leave in 2028. We need to send more folks to DC with the political will and courage to stand up to his bullying.
I genuinely think every airline CEO should have to fly middle seat in economy for 10 hours twice a month.
Same tiny seat. Same limited legroom. Same person reclining in front of you. Same overpriced food.
If you’re running an airline, you should regularly experience the product exactly like your customers do.
Rare 1967 footage showing how traditional drums in Ghana were used to send messages over short and long distances, and even perform traditional poetry.
Umberto Eco, qui possédait 50 000 livres, disait ceci à propos des bibliothèques personnelles :
"Il est insensé de penser qu'il faut lire tous les livres qu'on achète, tout comme il est insensé de critiquer ceux qui achètent plus de livres qu'ils ne pourront jamais en lire. Ce serait comme dire qu'il faut utiliser tous les couverts ou les lunettes, les tournevis ou les forets que vous avez achetés avant d'en acheter de nouveaux.
Il y a des choses dans la vie pour lesquelles nous avons besoin de toujours avoir suffisamment de provisions, même si nous n'en utilisons qu'une petite partie.
Si, par exemple, nous considérons les livres comme des médicaments, nous comprenons qu'il est bon d'en avoir plusieurs à la maison plutôt que quelques-uns : quand on veut se sentir mieux, alors on va au « placard à pharmacie » et on choisit un livre. un livre aléatoire, mais le bon livre pour le moment. C'est pourquoi vous devriez toujours avoir un choix nutritionnel !
Ceux qui n'achètent qu'un seul livre, ne lisent que celui-là et s'en débarrassent ensuite. Ils appliquent simplement la mentalité de consommateur aux livres, c'est-à-dire qu'ils les considèrent comme un produit de consommation, un bien. Ceux qui aiment les livres savent qu'un livre est tout sauf une marchandise."
I hope every American understands that the upcoming US midterms isn't about Republican vs Democrat. It's a cognitive test to see if you understand the difference between right and wrong.
Strange how many flock cameras there are and yet there is no major increase in finding missing children, apprehending rapists, murderers, violent criminals or stopping major crimes.
There is no difference.
It is simply a SURVEILLANCE STATE.
We're living in a SURVEILLANCE STATE
We weren’t overreacting to Project 2025. We were reading it.
Chapter 13 called for shrinking federal food programs, weakening regulatory oversight, and rolling back restrictions across agriculture and food production.
Now Americans are watching recall after recall: E. coli. Listeria. Cyclospora. Eggs. Berries. Lettuce. Herbs. Meat.
The warnings weren’t hysteria. They were written in black and white.
The problem wasn’t that people overreacted.
It’s that too many people never bothered to read what was coming.
HOT TAKE: Maturing is realizing they never burnėd wıtches. They burnėd midwives, healers, herbalists, and knowledgeable women. Women who understood medicine, nature, and their own autonomy. Women whose knowledge threatened patriarchal control. The "wıtch hunts" were never about magic, they were about silencing women who couldn't be controlled.
Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
