@ProudSocialist The cops whose salaries are paid for by the people getting arrested.

🇲🇽🌱🇨🇺 Mexico triples Sowing Life program in Cuba, helping 15,000 farmers achieve food sovereignty, including 2,000 in Guantanamo.

The program has already shown success across Mexico and Latin America: reducing migration, planting over a billion trees, and commercializing agricultural products.

Over 200,000 Cubans are estimated to benefit from phase 2.

COPS ARREST A MAN FOR ORGANIZING A PROTEST AGAINST A DATA CENTER:

Video shows Illinois police arresting Harley Delander for organizing a protest against a data center in his town.

He explains to police that he did nothing wrong and they’re violating his First Amendment rights.

The police don’t care and arrest him anyway. This is the current state of America.

Our government and both parties are completely owned by the tech billionaires who are rewiring our entire economy to usher in their AI techno-capitalist dystopia.

This is why you are seeing the government do whatever it can to silence any and all opposition to the dystopian nightmare their tech billionaire owners are pushing onto us.

From labeling anti-data center protesters “extremists” to now arresting people for planning protests, the US government is actively attacking and jailing its own people to protect the Tech oligarchs it serves.

We desperately need class consciousness in the U.S.

Class consciousness is not telling people to vote for the blue or red ruling class parties.

It is educating people that both parties serve the billionaire class, which is why workers need to build our own power to fight back.

On the same day a Democratic Governor of a swing state did a photo op with Sam Altman as they broke ground on a $16 billion data center that residents widely oppose, a bunch of NY Democrats marched with war criminals at a parade in NYC.

The Democratic Party continues to prove it is not an opposition party to Trump's Republican party.

We need all eyes on this. This could’ve easily been avoided.

He clearly did not intend to harm anyone. Most officers kept their distance. It was manageable, and two rolled up close to him, then it was over in seconds.

@RepJayapal It’s killed more than 3,300 civilians.

The average American household has spent $450 more on energy costs during Trump’s Iran war.

This war is illegal, immoral, and costing Americans big.

@Road_trippn @Acyn Except the pathetic corporate media. They have to pretend.

[The Red Briefing🌹 @nightwing01]

@Acyn Maybe if we just stopped blocking all of their commerce, they would recover.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

We should all be furious that as a year of climate fueled events wreak havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide.

Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate?

@No_ProRelForMLS @flood_heid86687 @Suzierizzo1 @LarryBoorstein Using the White House like it’s a Las Vegas casino is so lacking dignity. Don’cha think?
It is a lot like Ancient Rome in its decline.

[B E McFarlane @grnd_wire]

@No_ProRelForMLS @flood_heid86687 @Suzierizzo1 @LarryBoorstein I recognize you are the target audience for this publicity stunt.

[B E McFarlane @grnd_wire]

@No_ProRelForMLS @flood_heid86687 @Suzierizzo1 @LarryBoorstein I recognize that it’s an overly hyped exercise in futility designed to distract people while really bad national decisions are being made. We will all pay for that. No doubt.

[B E McFarlane @grnd_wire]

@No_ProRelForMLS @flood_heid86687 @Suzierizzo1 @LarryBoorstein Really, who pays for all the extra security and traffic revision and the clean up costs, etc?

[B E McFarlane @grnd_wire]

@VTlunchpail @Suzierizzo1 @flood_heid86687 @LarryBoorstein It’s like one big advertisement meant to offend and distract.

[B E McFarlane @grnd_wire]

@Suzierizzo1 That’s what it reminded me of. Caligula and his loyal legion.

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

Israel has become one of the world’s largest arms exporters, selling everything from drones and missile systems to surveillance technology. At the same time, governments that publicly express concern over civilian suffering continue purchasing Israeli military equipment.

As long as governments keep buying these weapons, and as long as the United States continues funding and arming Israel, the deadly business model behind endless war will continue to thrive.

My only issue with Bernie’s proposal is it doesn’t go far enough.

AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge so humanity should collectively own all of it, not just 50% of it as Bernie proposes.

Billionaires deserve nothing. AI companies should be 100% owned by the public.

I also don’t trust the US government to use the proceeds from the AI Sovereign Wealth fund effectively so 100% of it should be distributed as dividends to the public.
