“Lead actors of color declined from 2024’s all-time high of 51 percent to 36 percent in 2025 — from a majority to nearly a third.”

“Just 25.8 percent of streaming films’ casts were people of color, down from 41 percent.”

‘Taxing AI’ won’t protect our water or air. It will however give Dems a way to make it seem like they’re doing something about the outcries, without doing anything drastic.

‘Get a cut of your own destruction’ has always been a terrible offer and it’s time we reject it with fury

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer caught on a hot mic talking about the controversial Al data center being built despite overwhelming opposition: "We're used to people saying 'f*ck no!', and then doing it anyway."

And too many of our parents & grandparents couldn’t care less.

They got cheap homes, cars, Social Security & didn’t fight to protect it for their kids & grandkids. And now their only concern is how near they are to the graveyard.

Boycott the games!! Make FIFA and their U.S. corporate sponsors pay the price for attempting to normalize U.S. warmongering, genocide and repression. The next step for the international community is to demand accountability & end impunity for U.S. criminality.

Unpopular "centrist" Dems give the right endless ammo to effectively use against them, while leftists are so universally appealing that even FOX is scared to attack them, because they keep converting their own viewers.

Please consider getting a library card, even if you don’t use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.

James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell

The Pentagon raised Israel's threat level to the U.S. to "critical" over concerns that Israel is spying on top U.S. officials.

It is treasonous that the House Armed Services Committee just voted to merge our military with a country that is illegally spying on our politicians.

[leopard print bussy @bigsnugga]

US and israeli military being merged, military practicing "urban warfare" in american suburbs, its very clear where we're headed

Every generation deserves an opportunity to lead.

When geriatric politicians refuse to train new leaders or step aside so they can lead, it’s an act of selfishness.

Ecclesiastes teaches us that there is a time for everything. Your 80’s is not the time to fight energy draining political battles as an elected official. You’re not the best person for that job anymore.

It is the time to become the wise counsel for the next generation’s new leaders. You do a detriment to your community by not understanding that there are seasons in life. By not having a succession plan, you are robbing young leaders of political experience & you don’t even care.

Jacobin magazine, the principal mouthpiece of the leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America, today released a hit piece on Amazon labor leader Chris Smalls, @Shut_downAmazon.

It could be legit if Jacobin had had an honest critique of Smalls to clarify what class struggle unionist leaders should be doing. But the article is not that at all.

It’s a hatchet job against a leading labor activist who has refused to toe the line of the DSA and the business unionist labor leaders who give cover to the so-called progressive Democrats and to the Democratic Party as a whole, despite shocking betrayals by them against working people.

The crux of the real reason why Jacobin went after Smalls is contained in this sentence: “[Smalls] blames the two-party system for the state of the American labor movement…”

Smalls is spot on about this and the need to break from the Democratic and Republican parties. We need a new party of the working class.

The DSA leadership, on the other hand, sees giving cover to the Democratic Party as job number one. The Democratic Party is the party under whom the genocide in Gaza began and which engineered the breaking of the railroad workers’ strike — both under President Joe Biden. ALL Democrats in the House, including DSA star AOC voted to break the strike. The Democratic Party is one of the two most powerful capitalist parties in the world, and in no way represents working people or the oppressed.

Business unionist labor leaders are those who have made peace with the capitalist system and are driven by protecting their careers, which means placating the bosses, not organizing the rank and file against the bosses to win substantive working-class victories. Refusing to fight the bosses also means aligning with the parties of the bosses, like the Democratic Party.

The overwhelming majority of the labor leadership today is business unionist, with some crucial exceptions like Smalls. We need a reckoning in the labor movement.

Brother Smalls has put his life on the line for the antiwar movement in solidarity with the Palestinia people against the Israeli state’s genocide bankrolled by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Smalls went on a Gaza aid flotilla carrying food, baby formula, diapers and medicine in the context of catastrophic levels of mass starvation in Gaza. The flotilla was attacked by the Israeli military, who physically assaulted Smalls, and kicked and choked him.

In contrast, AOC has voted for the Iron Dome which is part of the Israeli state’s genocidal apparatus.

For having the temerity to expose AOC and other self-described “progressive” politicians, Smalls is called “narcissistic” by Jacobin, a term the magazine’s editors were apparently forced to retract after they got huge amounts of flak on all social media.

Personal attacks and character assassination like in this case are often used by the political establishment’s spokespeople as proxy for their real objections — in this case, the threat they feel from Smalls openly calling out the Democratic Party’s actual role.

The only way of rebuilding a militant labor movement is to pose a concrete threat to both the Democratic and Republican parties, which in turn requires a challenge to the business unionist labor leadership. That is the basis on which I won the nation’s highest minimum wage and the Amazon Tax during the decade I was the sole socialist on the Seattle City Council.

I am now running as an independent revolutionary socialist against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith. I am calling for an end to all military aid to Israel and an end to all weapons and tech for genocide and imperialist war. https://t.co/sh3zyhgTI7

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.

Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.

We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.
