“Where enough $ calls the tune, the general public will not be heard” Justice Breyer

I’m sorry?! We’re giving a 700 acre wildlife reserve to a trillionaire for free? Whyyyyy???

Uber is already facing 3,600+ sexual assault lawsuits. Now Congress is weighing a hidden provision in a must-pass highway bill that could shield rideshare companies from lawsuits over assaults, crashes, injuries, and deaths.

Nearly 2,000 survivors have come forward to demand lawmakers strip it out.

The US government is helping corporate oligarchs pollute poor communities:

Civil rights group the NAACP is suing Elon Musk's company xAI for polluting impoverished residential neighborhoods in Mississippi by building dozens of methane-gas turbines to power its data center, without air permits, in violation of the Clean Air Act.

Instead of defending the people, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is defending Musk, the world's first trillionaire. Its argument? This destructive pollution is needed for US wars and "national security".

The DOJ argued that Musk's polluting methane-gas turbines are “critical to the economy and the Department of War”.

A US official declared, “The Department of Justice will not sit idly by while private organizations use environmental laws to undermine our national security”.

Absolutely dystopian.

Zohran Mamdani spoke at a Rikers Island graduation ceremony honoring 57 incarcerated people who earned their high school diplomas.

One graduate, Elijah Smith, said he didn’t expect the mayor to show up, but his presence meant something: “It helped. Someone cares about the incarcerated individuals in this jail.”

Sometimes dignity starts with simply showing up.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Mamdani continues to show that he cares for the people society has chosen to leave behind.

The disabled.

Trans people.

Those living in extreme poverty.

Marginalized individuals and people of colour.

Incarcerated individuals.

He refuses to cater to the billionaire elite.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I am proud to be the first Democrat to take this pledge to reject money from AIPAC and affiliated groups, recognize the genocide in Gaza, and oppose aid to Israel and military sales that kill civilians.

The DOJ approved the Paramount-Warner Bros merger without even telling the department's lawyers who were ready to shut it down.

The next day David Ellison got dinner with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

This is more than media consolidation, it's oligarchy consolidation.

NEW: Worker co-ops could be a solution to the rigged, unequal economy Americans are up against.

We talked to drivers at a rideshare company in Colorado.

They own the company together, and now when they drive a route they make more than 2x what they make driving Uber.

The Trump administration is quietly moving to change the Affordable Care Act to let health insurers offer people loans to pay for their care.

Deep in a document over 1,000 pages long about how the Affordable Care Act market will operate next year, the administration suggests that insurers consider offering loans to cash-strapped customers.

Under this approach, people who develop a costly disease or need unexpected emergency care would turn to their health insurer for loans.

A third of American households already have medical debt, and this approach would mean even more debt that patients owe to their health insurance companies.

The insurers, who already make billions, would stand to make even more.

@WajahatAli yes! Trump is targeting workers (and poor people and immigrants) but he's also selling off all of our federal land for logging and insane destruction and removing any standards for environmental damage. He has no sense of The Commons.

They told you the planet is dying… and you’re the problem.

Your food.
Your habits.
Your existence.

Meanwhile, behind closed doors, something else is growing.

AI data centres in the UK alone could pump out 123 million tonnes of carbon emissions — the equivalent of millions of human lives over a decade.

But where’s the outrage?

Instead, they blame cows… tax farmers… and squeeze the people who actually feed you.

While tech giants expand quietly… signing deals… building systems that never sleep… and never get questioned.

Different rules.
Different targets.
Same script.

So let me ask you…

Why are everyday people being punished…
while the biggest emitters keep getting rewarded?
Is this really about saving the planet…
or controlling who pays the price?
Drop your thoughts below — I want to hear what you think.

And if this made you stop and think for even a second… share it.

More people need to see this.

AIPAC is going to spend $30 million to try and buy a US Senate from the people of Michigan. $30 million.

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

An American doctor ran the same bloodwork through two prices.

Same tests. Same lab.
With insurance? $1,086.75. Patient pays $252.12.

Pay cash?
That EXACT same bloodwork costs $44 — over 20x CHEAPER.

That’s not healthcare. It’s a rigged pricing machine bleeding taxpayers dry.

[MatrixMysteries @MatrixMysteries]

Amazon is building an $11 billion AI data campus in Indiana.

It’ll use as much electricity as roughly 1 MILLION homes.

And about 300 million gallons of water every year.

That’s just ONE facility.

USPS is now on the verge of dramatically limiting voting by mail.

The postal service is proposing a rule to limit mail-in voting for the midterms, expanding federal control over voting without congressional approval.

It's a big step in Trump's plan to take over elections.

Fifty-one Americans in the healthcare industry were included on Forbes‘ annual billionaires list.

Americans are paying more than ever for healthcare, and 51 people have become billionaires because of it.
