Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

An awesome story about how solar microgrids kept the power on during Puerto Rico's latest blackouts. This is bottom-up, power-to-the-people shit. Get excited!

Could Microgrids Be Puerto Rico's Answer to Endless Blackouts?

Meanwhile, feds redirect $365 million away from solar toward grid fixes

Not Just Fox News, Most Of Corporate Media… I don't care what Fox News says. Biden dug us out of the hole Trump left us in. He brought the economy back from Covid. He wasn't great on every single issue, but at least he didn't make every day of our lives a dumpster fire. Thanks, Joe.

These 15 MAGA Republicans will sell out their own constituents to fund tax breaks to the rich. They are willing to let their constituents DIE and cut Medicaid to do this. Light up those phones! #HandsOffOurMedicaid

Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.

Jessica LaPointe who has worked at a Social Security field office for past 16 years says disruptions prompted by Trump administration's efforts to make deep cuts in the federal government workforce have left many remaining SS employees "burned out … and overwhelmed." www.npr.org/2025/04/26/n...

Employee cuts at Social Security are leaving remaining workers struggling to keep up

Social Security employees are feeling "overwhelmed" and wait times for phone services are up as workforce cuts from the Trump administration are being felt throughout the agency.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Jimmy Carter had to get rid of his peanut farm because it might look like he made an unseemly profit from being president. But Donald Trump is being allowed to shake down foreign countries to personally pay him protection money with his cryptocurrency to stave off his insane, illegal tariffs.

Social Security is YOUR money. You paid into it every paycheck. It's not a handout—it's an earned benefit. Over 66M Americans depend on Social Security & ½ of all seniors rely on it for most of their income. Republicans want to cut it! Call Congress: 202-224-3121 Say #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

The case for banning social media for children seems inarguable, writes Simon Kuper. 'It has worsened teens' mental health, empowered criminals and shattered people's concentration to the point of making the world stupider.' www.ft.com/content/4c7d...

A quote in black text against a salmon-pink background reads: 'Social media companies, like tobacco and oil companies, realised before the public what harm their products do'. The quote is attributed to Simon Kuper, FT columnist

Musk claims Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” Yet Tesla only earned $409 million net earnings 1st quarter BUT received $595 million in “regulatory credits.”Workers pay Social Security every paycheck while Musk’s Tesla gets handouts from the government #TeslaTakedown electrek.co/2025/04/22/m...

Musk complains about handouts when Tesla was only profitable due to credits

Tesla CEO Elon Musk started its earnings call today with a bizarre conspiratorial rant, showing his hypocrisy on the issue of gov't credits.
