The core of everything is corruption. The cruelty, the fascism, the destruction of democracy and reality itself, it's all a means of self-enrichment and empowerment of a class of people that do not give two shits whether we live or die if it means stuffing their pockets. It starts there and expands

There’s no such thing as a self-made billionaire. To accumulate that level of obscene capital you have to develop parasitical relationships to sabotaged systems and prove useful to explicitly anti-human projects.

ICE is an ideologically-driven jobs program for men willing to engage in violence on behalf of their authoritarian employer and it would help to view them as a state-sponsored paramilitary militia. And that's probably something to keep in mind as the economy is being imploded.

It really knocks you on your ass when you realize the problem is that the fascists are largely made up of a bunch of grown men in arrested development who spend their adult lives playing pretend and making everyone miserable as they LARP through the world.

Again. Impeach him.

So, just to review. In roughly seven months the US has had to abandon all bases in the Middle East, flee from a British base, the petrodollar system that is the foundation for hegemony has collapsed, and we’re facing historical energy and food crises. Great work. www.cnn.com/2026/10/04/p...

Only in America do they deny children free lunch while forcing them to read about Jesus feeding the hungry.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

"We're here today to say... war criminals are not welcome in this city &.. this is bigger than just Netanyahu. This is about the fact that our govt has been funding and enabling genocide & apartheid & it has to stop" Beth Miller from Jewish Voice for Peace in New York yesterday.

If we had actual journalists in this country, this would have been reported as a story.

For the record: The University of California has never asked me for anything like this. But I am seeing this line of questioning arising in a rapidly growing number of American contexts. It has been asked of me, personally, elsewhere. And that is very, very alarming.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Americans taking to the streets to stand up to the malignantly narcissistic megalomaniac. #HandsOffTheKennedyCenter #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Mike Johnson on OpenAI and Anthropic: "They can self-police. They can self-regulate."

The truth finally comes out. The contractor behind the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation says the peeling and blistering of the pool’s new blue liner was caused by mistakes made during the repair itself.

"My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.”--US Senator Carl Schurz (R-MO), 1871.

Elon Musk wants autonomous cars because he’s a terrible driver. He wants robots because he has no friends. He wants AI because he’s not creative or smart. He wants to go to Mars because he hates planet Earth. He wants to end Democracy because he’s a fascist money hoarder. He’s pathetic.

Vote, anyone you know normally doesn’t vote. It’s time to pressure them. This is our last chance to hold onto our democracy, our last chance to try to rebuild it and live free lives.

They just got back from 5 more weeks off, after multiple other very long vacations. They never work.

There’s nothing like the sweet smell of failure in the morning.
