The "welfare problem" is the trillions in subsidies we give corporate America to include the likes of Elon Musk directly and freaks like Peter Thiel and defense contractors like Palantir. The real endless money doesn't go to poor people but instead the already incredibly wealthy.

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.

Never believe anyone who tells you a better world is not possible.

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[evan loves worf @esjesjesj]

Very important to point out that he did not achieve this by increasing policing. Right wingers have no answer to this

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

this language is now indexed as a form of racial harassment. The mere mention of Palestinians and their ongoing mass killing, siege and starvation is treated as a form of bigotry. I don’t know what else to say other than this is completely dystopian and insane.

U.S. households in the top 1% gained at least 101 times more wealth than the median household since 1989, per Oxfam.

"At a time when the American public is expressing unprecedented levels of distrust in the Israeli government, Congress just proposed tying the U.S. to the Israeli military more than ever before."

Here's the story: 🧵

Happy Pride to this interview Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O did back in ye olden days of 2010

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The reason we think dandelions are weeds is because of a 1950s marketing campaign.

Dandelions, native to Europe and Asia, were brought to North America in the 1600s by European colonists who grew them deliberately.

Every part is edible. The leaves are a salad green, the flowers were made into wine, and the roots were roasted as a coffee substitute and used medicinally for liver and kidney conditions for thousands of years. They were a kitchen-garden staple well into the 1800s.

The shift happened after World War II, when 2,4-D (originally developed for chemical warfare research) was approved as a residential herbicide. Companies like Scotts built the modern lawn-care industry around the idea that a perfect green lawn meant zero broadleaf plants.

Dandelions, being bright yellow and resistant to mowing, became a visible enemy, and the campaign worked. By the 1970s, "dandelion-free" was synonymous with "well-kept."

They aren't native, but they aren't doing significant ecological harm either. The herbicides used to kill them, on the other hand, kill bees, contaminate groundwater, and have been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans.

If you hate dandelions, it's most likely due to a marketing campaign that ran before you were born.

Full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel.
We must do everything we can to stop this.

[Zachary Foster @_ZachFoster]

Imagine if Iran bombed 10,000 homes in the US.

Then Iranian media said: "IRGC may have destroyed 10,000 weapon-holding homes in the US." (lots of people have weapons at home, so maybe its accurate?)

No need to image though ... just swap out Iran/US for Israel/Lebanon ...

It’s not a wedge issue within the party. The percentage of Democratic voters who have a positive view of Israel (13%) is the same as the percentage of Democratic voters who have a positive view of abortion bans (14%), yet nobody says abortion is a wedge issue within the party

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

Ilana Glazer and I are both proud Jewish New Yorkers who believe unapologetically that our safety is inextricably bound up with that of our neighbors, including Palestinians. And that AIPAC and the candidates they support aren’t making any of us safer or freer.
