I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.

In 1994 Ukraine agreed to surrender the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in deal known as the Budapest Memorandum.  In exchange for giving up 1,900 nuclear warheads- U.S., Russia & UK pledged to respect Ukraine's existing borders and sovereignty & refrain from use of force against Ukraine.

@juddlegum.bsky.social: "Prior to Trump’s victory in 2024, Kushner pledged to have no foreign policy or other role in a second Trump administration. He used this promise to wave away concerns about Affinity Partners being used as a vehicle for foreign influence." open.substack.com/pub/populari...

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

The case in Georgia is precisely what happened in Gilead. This scenario played out during an episode of the oppressive, dystopian TV drama The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 3) — based on the novel by Margaret Atwood. The state keeps a fetus alive after the mother is shot and declared baindead.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.
