Do you think CBS sucks? Have you already stopped watching and cancelled your affiliated subscriptions? Now it's time to start boycotting their advertisers! Spread the word.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Among my least favorite people on BlueSky are the ones who are still talking about voting for Kamala Harris. MOVE ON! She lost. The constant bitching about how things would be different if she had won do NOTHING constructive for in the situation we are in. Time to get over it.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

What a remarkable complaint.
The Iranian regime devastated Arad and Dimona by deliberately striking civilians with missiles. Over 100 people were injured, including children. A blatant war crime. Pure terrorism.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

This is what Greta Thunberg said as she arrived in Greece after being illegally detained by Israel. Fifty years ago, this speech would have been given by Sweden's Prime Minister Olof Palme. Today, the Swedish government is effectively on the side of Israel's occupation and genocide.

Weeks ago, Hamas agrees to an Egypt & Qatar deal (similar to a US deal Israel agreed to before). Israel doesn't. This week, Hamas repeats it wants a deal. Trump sends one. Hamas goes to Qatar—where the largest US base in the Middle East is—to hash it out. Then Israel bombs them.
