Support independent media.
This is incredibly magnanimous. Also, it ought not be the model- it ought to be the standard. Imagine what a better country this could be if folks only had support for decency when their country’s policies have failed. Showers for everyone! Unfortunately, even some of you with access won’t do it!🛀🚿🧼

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.
Let's get loud as hell, folks, and make sure every member of Congress knows where we stand:

It is immoral, unethical, inhumane, and unearthly to destroy our only home like this. Only evil can do this kind of harm. GLOBAL STRIKE NOW! SHUT IT DOWN! ⛓️💥🥊🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫
What changed for deep-sea mining in 2025? Everything.
Trump reshaped the industry this year, even as it faced opposition from the United Nations, scientists and Indigenous peoples.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Elon Musk and Larry Ellison are worth over a TRILLION dollars combined. Brin, Page, Bezos, and Zuckerberg are worth another TRILLION on top of that.
Together, they control FB, IG, Twitter, TikTok, Google, YouTube, CBS News, the Washington Post, Paramount, and soon they'll add CNN/Warner-Discovery.
