A reminder as we discuss AI safety: Deregulation (or allowing corporations to "self regulate") only masks another kind of trickle-down economics — one where the financial gains go to the top, and nothing trickles down except risks and losses for everyone else.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

We are on the verge of a climatic upheaval greater than any of us can imagine. Global leaders and media aren't paying attention. They are focused on a series of self-inflicted crises that have left us dangerously vulnerable and totally unprepared. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/what-keeps...

Anyone can cosplay as #ICE! That puts everyone at risk. Your daughter could be SAed by an ICE imposter. ICE thugs use masks & unidentified vehicles. This puts us all at risk because if one person doesn't have rights, no one has rights. In Trump's America, no one is safe from #ICELawlessness! 🧵

Crockett: "Welcome to the Republicans' white pride rally disguised as a congressional hearing"

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Since Trump's inauguration, defense tech companies linked to his sons have generated over $3.2B in direct government business and $3.1B in future contract options. Call this what it is: corruption.

"Nearly five women are murdered in America every day by a current, former or estranged intimate partner." ssri.psu.edu/news/intimat... The men who kill strangers almost always practice on women they know first. Imagine what society would look like if we gave a shit about those women.

Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva, 45, is the 22nd person to die in ICE custody this year alone. At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to office — an all-time high. Everyone who carried out this reign of terror must face consequences.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

People are arguing about arguing with people on the Internet and I'd just like to tap the sign below.

Yup … technology is not all it’s cracked up to be … #cdnpoli

The Trump administration wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have over their retirement. “What they have done is lower the standard for everything,” said one former senior official at the Department of Labor.

Donald Trump and Republicans cut SNAP benefits for millions of Americans so they could lavish more tax giveaways to the wealthiest among us. It is unconscionable that people are going hungry while Trump, his family, associates and billionaire donors line their pockets.

America has never been susceptible to communism. It has always been susceptible to fascism. Know your history. Know your context. Know smokescreens when you see them. The threat of communism has always been a smokescreen used by fascists in America.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as "parasites," all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” (Published Dec. 2025)

"If you don't know what you have, you don't know how to protect it." Seagrasses account for 10% of the ocean’s ability to sequester carbon. But these underwater meadows are vanishing faster than forests. To protect them, first we need to effectively map them. nature.ly/4rZhzjS
