Indicting People Who Lied to Congress Would Overcrowd Prisons. One cost-efficient solution would be to repurpose the White House as a federal penitentiary since so many eventual inmates are already there. substack.com/app-link/pos...

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

We must rebuild the global food system around NEED & not shareholder profit.

We must radically change what we eat & how we produce it.

We need BOLD LEADERSHIP on this, or we watch our world crumble as more & more people go hungry, & then we go hungry, & then billions of us die.

New analysis confirms three of the five worst harvests on record have occurred in the past five years on the back of extreme heat, drought, and rainfall

James Comey’s indictment is a trademark tactic of authoritarians. The former FBI director’s indictment breaks a principle that has protected American democracy for 50 years. theconversationus.cmail20.com/t/r-l-tkjtid...

We’re All Socialists — But Only Trump Acts Like a Communist. As Americans lose faith in capitalism, Trump’s economic nationalism looks less like free enterprise and more like state control. substack.com/app-link/pos...

Youth plaintiffs test a new legal strategy to counter Trump’s support for fossil fuels. The Juliana case asked the court to order the government to prepare and implement a plan to fix climate change. This time, plaintiffs are seeking a narrower remedy. go.grist.org/e/399522/-ne...
