I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.

A trillionair, yet his name does not appear on a single school, university, library, museum wing, hospital, stadium, arena, airport, or endowed chairs. What a colossal waste of a human lifetime.

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk. Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive. She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.” Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today. Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

The US is long overdue for revolution. That it has not yet taken place is a testament both to the enduring power of the US ruling class and to the resulting docility, servility and conformism of its people. The US is truly the most propagandized nation on earth.

In 2020, Emory University published an epidemiological study saying that every $1 increase in the minimum wage state to state reduces the suicide rate by 6%. That means that boosting the minimum wage by $1 could have saved 27,550 lives lost to suicide from 1990 to 2015.

A nation can’t celebrate its independence? We’ve lost the plot.

For the first time, an American pro athlete is speaking out against fossil fuel sponsorships in sports. I have an exclusive interview with Angels pitcher Brent Suter, who's tired of greenwashing and would much prefer to promote clean energy. Check it out: climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/…

Generative AI is just a giant billboard that says “I didn’t care about making the thing, but I still expect you to engage with it. I bet you can’t even tell, you idiot. Fuck you.” I’ve never felt more deeply committed to making handmade things than I do now. ✏️

Iran is more than 5000 years old. The US 250. Israel 78. Please stop lecturing us on culture, history, and tradition.

Life is wonderful here, mama. You must come visit!

They really gonna let them burn Bethlehem too?

Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.
