Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Or how about toilet signs (or bath/toilet rooms) which are sometimes worth visiting even if you don't have to? #PalacesAndGardens #WhatsNext #toilet #ECK #PhotographersOfBluesky #kronborg #history

An information sign for a toilet in the shape of a flag in white with silhouettes of a woman and a man in historic garments.

Wall Street profits and bonuses are poised to hit a record high. CEO pay is up. Corporate profits are skyrocketing. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. Meanwhile, inflation eats up the paychecks of working people as the social safety net is cut out from underneath them. Trumponomics.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs. It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche will das Energieeffizienzgesetz abschwächen: Wer per Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse nachweist, dass sich der Wärmenetz-Anschluss nicht lohnt, muss keine Abwärme nutzen. Rechenzentren verschenken über 97 Prozent davon. Bis 2045 verpufft Wärme für 5,8 Milliarden Euro.

Who makes history? The people whose names fill the history books and the people whose names never make the pages. This Black History Month, we celebrate the Black Londoners whose contributions are woven into the story of our city. Black history is London’s history.

Two nude women lie together in front of streaming water which seemingly gushes into a waterfall on the left. There is a certain draw in the masses of water and the two women hold each other, making sure they are not ripped from the rocky edge of the river.

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.

How do they say in Italy? "Salute!" So here is some Vin Santo and cantuccini for Sabine and Anna! (this wine was originally consumed in a lovely garden in Tuscany under olive trees) #MellowYellow #photography #vinsanto #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK #PalacesAndGardens

On a small wooden board there are two glasses of Vin Santo and a few cantuccini almond cookies to be consumed with a good conversation in an olive grove when the sun is setting.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Sommer 2026: 16.000 Hitzetote 🥵 alleine in 🇩🇪. Dürre. Brände. 🤯 Die Bundesregierung subventioniert jetzt mit 2.500.000.000 € von unseren Steuergeldern die Ursache der Hitze: fossile Brennstoffe. Unfassbar. 🤯🤯🤯 Das meiste Geld landet dann wieder bei den Ölkonzernen, der Lobby gegen Klimaschutz.

Paddle boarders returning home over the golden waters of the Strait of Georgia, 🇨🇦 #BlueSkyArtShow #Golden #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersOfBluesky #sunset

We look out over the waters of the Strait of Georgia from Gibsons, north of Vancouver. The silhouette of an island (probably Texada Island) is visible in the right half of the picture. Two standup paddle boards are drifting home from the right to the left, one with a standing person, the other with two persons, one kneeling and one sitting on the board. The sun is setting and it gives the sky a yellow-orange glow which is broken by stripes of clouds.

#Flyday ! This plover is sitting on the ground just a few hundred meters from the face of the Athabasca Glacier in 🇨🇦. Not that many years ago it would have been sitting on meters of ice. Enjoy the weekend! #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersOfBluesky #birding #plover

A Common Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) is sitting on pebbles from one of the moraines of the Athabasca Glacier. With its brown colors it blends into the landscape quite well.

Elon Musk is bankrolling an ad campaign to get you to check your voter registration through an innocent-sounding website. But his real goal is to collect and sell your personal data to advertising companies, Big Tech, and other Republican PACs.

The slick voter registration website, currently being promoted to millions of people, is a digital surveillance machine.
