"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The Associated Press is now apparently prioritizing Russian place names for Ukrainian towns. The town in question is called Pokrovsk, regardless of what the Kremlin may or may not prefer - suggesting otherwise legitimizes Russia's invasion

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country.
If only Merrick Garland had gotten the job done when we had the chance and sent the orange felon and his insurrectionists to jail where they belong. Scumbag.

1.1 million Russian casualties, stalled near Pokrovsk since June last year, and still only 68 km from Donetsk, where they started nearly four years ago. Things must be really bad in Russia.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

🇺🇸 The Russian side will send Steve Witkoff back “with a counter-proposal that Witkoff will screw up and present as a great deal,” a US official told WP.
Putin will try to return the talks to the original 28 points, which were changed by 🇺🇦🇪🇺. “And then everything will just fall apart,” he said.

Trump doesn’t care if Ukrainians die, or Russians die, or Europeans die, or Americans die. If he can make a deal with Putin to make money, he will.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.
I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.
