Democrats have released the first proposal from their "Project 2029" and is it
Medicare for All?
A living wage of at least $25?
A federal housing guarantee?
Abolishing ICE??
Nope, it's digital ID for the internet! Hoorayy!! (Cue the supportive Neera Tanden tweet in 3, 2, 1...)
Something has to be done about this corrupt ass system where people who protest genocide and ICE get prison while the Epstein class profits off the presidency.
US-Iran history they don’t teach you:
On this day in 1988, the US warship USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 665 with two surface to air missiles, killing all 290 passengers on board.
The US refused to issue an official apology or acknowledged wrongdoing, and official investigations were treated as an afterthought.
Months after the tragedy on the campaign trail, President George H. W. Bush said “I will never apologise for the United States. I don’t care what the facts are.”
I tried to verify this. I couldn’t.
The company that claims to “keep communities safe” publishes no accuracy stats, no hit‑rate, no false‑positive data, and zero proof their alerts work.
If Flock was actually about “safety,” the numbers wouldn’t be hidden. They’d be public.
Just one day after Jeff Bezos criticized New York school spending
Zohran Mamdani announced that the city had recovered $9 million in unpaid fines from Amazon delivery trucks
An overwhelming majority of Democratic voters support ending US aid to the Israeli apartheid government but neoliberal corporate democrat party leaders continue to defy the sentiments of their own party. Every democrat rep that opposed Massie amendment should be challenged.
History they don’t teach you: on this day in 1960, Fidel Castro nationalised Esso, Shell and Texaco in Cuba🇨🇺, breaking the United States’ draconian control of the Cuban economy.
After the Soviet Union began supplying Cuba with crude oil, Texaco, Esso, and British-Dutch Shell refused to refine Soviet oil for Cuba after pressure from the US government.
100% of Cuba’s oil refining capacity was controlled by these 3 corporations, meaning the US government and these corporations effectively held the Cuban economy at gunpoint. Fidel Castro responded to this by nationalising the assets of all 3 corporations.
Before Cuba's revolution, US financial interests owned 90% of Cuba’s mines, 80% of public utilities, 50% of railways, 40% of sugar production & 25% of bank deposits.
In the first 30 months after Fidel Castro and Cuba’s communists came to power, more classrooms were built in those 30 months than had been built in the previous 30 years. Within the first six months of Castro's government, 600 miles of road had been built across the island, while $300 million was spent on water and sanitation schemes.
Over 800 houses were constructed every month in the early years of the administration in a measure to cut homelessness, while nurseries and day-care centers were opened for children and other centers opened for the disabled and elderly.
With the arrival of the revolutionary government, Cuban healthcare was nationalised and expanded with heavy investment, bringing free healthcare access to millions.
Universal vaccination for childhood diseases was introduced, leading to infant mortality rates plummeting. Cuba's 'army of doctors' is now sent to crisis-hit countries around the world. Since 1963, more than 600,000 Cuban health workers have provided medical services in more than 160 countries.
Despite being under the illegal embargo imposed by the US, Cuba now has a higher life expectancy than the US, has more doctors per capita than the US, and is among the top 35 countries for lowest child mortality rates. Under Fidel Castro's rule, UNICEF declared severe child malnutrition to be eradicated.
Donald Trump’s looming war on Cuba is revenge for Cuban revolutionaries daring to break the US’ control of the island nation. Trump wants to return to the times when Cuba was effectively an American economic colony.
I DO NOT think people understand that global warming doesn’t mean “no cold weather ever.” It means a warming planet destabilizes weather patterns, causing more extreme weather. This has been explained for decades and people still don’t get it.
The Gaza genocide was "halted" so the "Board of Peace" could be formed & given a legal mandate to steal the wealth of gas on the Levant's shores.
Then in quick succession, the entire Eastern Mediterranean and Venezuela were also swallowed up by Chevron.
