if you think about this even for a minute, you will have a sense of the endless stupid treadmill that the fossil fuel industry wants to keep us on forever.

The corporate media won’t tell you this, but corporations are using inflation as an excuse to raise prices and make fatter profits.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Biden is expected to ask Congress for another $770 billion+ for next year's Pentagon budget. That’s more than 4x the size of the Build Back Better bill. So where’s the reporting on the effects of this spending on the national debt, or on inflation, or whether it’s even necessary?

Nearly 4 million kids have been pushed into poverty since Manchin, Sinema, and the GOP let the expanded Child Tax Credit expire in December.

Poverty is a policy choice.

WOW. San Francisco police officers pulled over & ticketed Black UPS driver NaKisha Ferguson while she was delivering packages for being double parked. Why is she being penalized for simply doing her JOB?! This is racial profiling! 🎥: nakishaferguson1 on TikTok

Oof, Bernie on Manchin:

“I also find it amusing that Sen. Manchin indicates his worry about the deficit after voting just this week for a military budget of $778 billion, four times greater than Build Back Better over ten years and $25 billion more than the president requested.”

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Joe Manchin preserves Congress's perfect record: no real climate legislation in the 33 years they've been debating the issue.

At 42m metric tons of plastic waste a year, the US generates more waste than all EU countries combined

Let me ask again: Why isn't the media reporting that oil companies chose to raise prices rather than increase supplies?

Kyle Rittenhouse: White 17yo vigilante kills/injures 3 with assault rifle & is found NOT guilty

Trayvon Martin: Black 17yo walks with Skittles in hand and is KILLED by vigilante (who is later found NOT guilty)

What's wrong with this picture?

[Nell @nellproart]

@AttorneyCrump This is obscene

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

That is beyond unacceptable. I will not support more tax breaks for billionaires.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1960: 37%
1970: 32%
1980: 20%
1990: 25%
2000: 20%
2010: 15%
2020: 13%

It's time corporations pay their fair share.

ONLY 11 individual West Virginia donors to @Sen_JoeManchin, 4 were automobile dealers; 2 were healthcare workers; 2 were retirees; 1 was a bail bonder, 1 was a government contractor, 1 was a banker. No WV-based fossil fuel industry donors. ONLY OUT OF STATE CORPORATIONS #Climate

Bombshell new report from @ProPublica: More than half of the nation’s 100 richest individuals have used special trusts to avoid paying the estate tax — which has likely cost the Treasury more than $100 billion that could have been used to pay for social programs.

JUST IN: Kyrsten Sinema has left DC amid negotiations. Her spokesman says it's for a doctor's appointment "for a foot injury." But a hotel just confirmed she will be at her PAC’s retreat with donors for cocktails and dinner at a high-end resort and spa in Phoenix. (@nytimes)
