The last time the US had Robber Barons — men who hoarded wealth while workers struggled to survive — was the Gilded Age of the late 1800s. Workers had organized into unions, and the threat of collective power was enough to force action. The rich gave back — not out of decency, but because workers demanded it. Today's Robber Barons like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos buy the narrative, platforms, newspapers, & politicians. They don't fear us — yet. We’re still fighting back because history shows us what works: organized, relentless, loud collective action. It worked in the 1880s. It's the only thing that's ever worked for working people.

Immigrants didn’t do this.
Private equity and real estate investors exploiting the people who need homes did.

[Eric Lee @EricLeeAtty]

Staggering that the NYT reports Trump/Miller are plotting to suspend habeas corpus (i.e. end the constitution) & by the end of the day it's treated as a non-story, not anywhere near top of major news' outlets websites.

[carter “cool girl” cruise @CarterCruise]

this is what blows my mind when people act like elon is wildly intelligent instead of just good at extracting wealth from a broken system. DOGE saved us $15 million dollars a year by cutting this program which within two years led to a cost of $1 billion lol. a five year old could tell you that’s not a good deal.

In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Leaked memos reveal that the White House seriously debated suspending Habeas Corpus much more than originally reported.

The suggestion to end the Constitutional right was led by Stephen Miller.

This is enough money to cover universal free college for every US student for nearly a decade btw

The President of the United States is promoting his own crypto coin at a UFC fight being held in front of the White House. That is a real sentence. What are we doing.

So glad he’s getting excellent government funded care after spending his entire political career trying to block everyone else from having the same.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

establishment democrats and republicans weren’t fearful he’d fail and ruin nyc. they were worried he’d succeed and represent the threat of a good alternative

Selling major news in a book instead of simply reporting it. You don’t hate mainstream “journalists” enough.

BOOMER: “Just buy a house instead of renting.”

ME: “Average house is $420,000.”

BOOMER: “Get a mortgage then.”

ME: “Rates are at 7%. That’s $2,800 a month.”

BOOMER: “Cut back on expenses.”

ME: “I don’t eat out. I don’t travel. I drive a 2015 Civic.”

BOOMER: “Maybe get a second job.”

Funny how every solution means working more for a system that keeps making the finish line further away.

But nobody ever tells the banks to lower the rates.

[Lucy’s Booth @HeatherK9070]

Honor Guards are trained for state funerals, fallen soldier ceremonies, and dignitary protocol. That is their sacred operational mandate. Trump just deployed them as set dressing for a UFC card. You don’t get to call yourself a patriot and applaud this.

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

What timeline are we on man.

There’s a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the president’s 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe they’ll never take it down.

The world’s first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries.

The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. They’re calling it a Public Wealth Fund.

That same government killed OpenAI’s biggest competitor’s models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAI’s models. Nobody touched them.

The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway.

Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other can’t keep its products online.

The engineers who built the banned models can’t use them anymore. Because of their passports.

And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didn’t bother.

UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle.

Watch the film titled Idiocracy. That’s the timeline we’re on.

[Butlerian Jihadist @RascalFKennedy]

When everybody realizes conservatism is a scam and these people don’t believe any of this shit….. This country will elevate. Conservatism is legit just racism and control. Lmao.

[VoteVets @votevets]

BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…

[🍀Anna🍀 @banannerbread]

They changed the law so he could steal from your parents' retirement accounts to do this by the way

[Justin🦩Boldaji @justinboldaji]

I know comparing modern society to Idiocracy is really played out but man

[Lyn🦋 @_ayandamay]

I want a refund on every minute I spent in 8th grade learning that monopolies are illegal and that our government would protect us from greedy men....

[Laiken Jordahl @LaikenJordahl]

BREAKING: We're suing the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service over their plan to give away 715 acres of a public wildlife refuge to billionaire corporation Space X.

Americans shouldn't be sacrificing their public lands to subsidize a company owned by the richest man in the world.
