FDR brought electricity to rural America, inspiring those impacted to vote Dem for life and earning him 3 more landslide victories.
Besides it just being the right thing to do, Dems canceling student debt would earn the votes needed to keep Republicans out of power for years.
Austin delivered 81,000 apartments in four years. Now 73% of metro units are offering concessions and avg asking rent has dropped from $1,622 in 2022 to $1,366. Build enough housing and landlords start competing for tenants instead of the other way around!
Today Zohran is announcing that the New York City-owned grocery stores his administration is piloting will discount staple items 30%.
Core groceries like produce, meat, seafood, pasta, bread, yogurt, butter, nuts, rice and beans will all receive this price cut.
I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn a living wage and need a second job. Something about that math just doesn’t add up.
Data centers produce artificial EMF fields that researchers say disrupt the magnetic navigation systems bees have relied on for millions of years. Please protect the bees
The Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973. The median Baby Boomer was 18. It was passed from pressure by Silent Gen voters, by Geatest Gen legislators.
The ~doubling of the National Parks system occurred in the 60-70s. Again, same situation.
The Baby Boomers keep being credited for things they ~enjoyed~ the benefits of. Not things they caused to occur. Or paid for.
The defining legacy of their control of Congress has been a chronic underproduction of housing, mass financialization, an inexorable rise in inequality, and the most dysfunctional legislative sessions in American history.
People often say, why don’t villagers in the West Bank ever hit back when Israeli settlers are brutalizing them or burning their homes? The answer was always obvious, but this is it. Netanyahu will use it as justification to accelerate slaughter and destruction in the West Bank:
Everyone needs to see this. Hundreds of Israeli settlers are coming down from hilltops and setting entire Palestinian villages on fire. Full on pogroms.
Yesterday, the Pentagon listed 18 service members had died in the War in Iran.
Because 18 had, in fact, died.
Today, their website has 14 service members having died. Four service members were removed from the total.
Why?
Because the Trump admin reduced the number to reflect those deaths "not counting" since those service members were killed after Trump's "ceasefire" in April.
Yes, this is real.
we have reached the point where socialists like Zohran are slashing red tape to make government more efficient, while republicans are purposefully trying to create as much painful bureaucracy and paperwork as possible
“Trump is going to lower drug prices”
Surprise fuckers, he made the cheap stuff more expensive so his buddies in pharma and insurance can rake in more money.
But yeah, keep voting for the GOP members who don’t hold him accountable, while Granny skips insulin shots!
This is unprecedented in modern human history. There was absolutely no reason or benefit for the US to do this.
No sovereign country would’ve done that to itself.
Mark this day as the day the US voted for a coup d’état on itself -the day the US voted to screw itself for eternity.
Iran is bombing US air bases and Amazon data centres.
The US is bombing hospitals, schools full of kids, sports centres and universities.
And guess who'll they'll tell you the good guys are?
I don’t know how you argue that Saudi Arabia can have a nuclear program, but Iran can’t. The majority of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. This is insane to me.
Trump just approved a deal allowing Saudi Arabia to have a nuclear program that lets them enrich uranium. You have to be fucking kidding me — that’s insane.
We talk a lot about the obvious domestic corruption, but this guy is selling us out to every foreign government that can cut him a check or give him a parcel of land.
🚨 BREAKING:
Spain responded harshly to Israel's statements:
"We are not defaming you, Israel, we are describing you: You are a genocidal and criminal regime."
"You will all be held accountable before the International Criminal Court."
