This Father’s Day, remember Jacob Flickinger, an American father killed by an IDF strike while cooking meals for starving families in Gaza.
He never made it home to his son. Justice for Jacob.
Bernie Sanders introduces a bill to give US citizens a 50% ownership stake in ‘large’ AI companies
It is estimated every citizen will be paid more than $1,000 annually
Police DON’T prevent crime. They respond to it. Higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment prevent crime.
Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill that would give every American at least $1,000 a year by granting the public 50% stake in AI companies.
He argues AI is a public resource everyone should benefit from instead of all the wealth going to a few people.
Now 52% of young adults live with their parents, the highest rate ever, surpassing even the Great Depression. The most-educated and most in debt generation in history did everything they were supposed to and got this.
The system. Does. Not. Work
The U.S. is investigating Germany for making medication and healthcare a little too affordable for their citizens.
They're pressuring Germany to raise prices and invest more in "innovative pharmaceutical research" to keep international drug prices from going down.
BREAKING: United Auto Workers today passed a resolution at its convention, 321-287, to divest from Israeli bonds.
With nearly 400,000 members, UAW becomes the largest US union to officially divest from Israel.
The vote received support from a range of sectors, including a large number of Michigan auto delegates, in addition to legal services and higher education.
The original call for divestment came from a wildcat strike of 2,000 mainly Arab American workers at Chrysler’s Dodge Main in 1973. Amid the genocide in Gaza, pro-Palestinian labor groups and UAW locals renewed and intensified their campaign.
Speakers motivated for the resolution by citing the union’s legacy of divesting from South African apartheid in 1978.
Illinois just rolled back mandatory road tests for drivers age 79-86. Many of us know seniors who shouldn’t be driving at that age, but continue to anyways.
Hell, it’s older than the life expectancy in Illinois!
This is a disaster that will result in lifelong injuries and fatalities of innocent people.
To make his case for the law, the Secretary used misleading statistics about the crash rate per capita. But when you use a more complete picture of the crashes per mile driven, you get a whole different story.
The fact is that seniors are more likely to cause severe crashes than their younger counterparts. They should have to pass stringent road testing to continue to operate their vehicle.
This is a major public safety L from @Giannoulias
This is the single handedly most inane thing this state government has ever done, and that is saying something.
I have no idea what I’m going to do now. I am just in shock at how much this damaged my city’s credibility as a crypto hub.
Louisiana, a majority female state & the state that incarcerates the most women per capita in the WORLD & whose homeless rates have soared almost 70% in recent year, has decided to just enslave women in the prison system to deal with this.
gaza is the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the modern era. even the warsaw ghetto didn’t have drones and quadcopters hovering above them 24/7, ready to kill them at any moment. just think about what that does to people mentally
FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
