For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system.

This is a good idea! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) said, “If the governor has the ability to issue driver’s licenses to people in California, if you’re going to wear a mask and not identify yourself, you’re not going to be eligible to drive a vehicle in California.”

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business
Banks Notch Higher Fees From Green Bonds Than Fossil Fuel Debt

Doctors Without Borders is also Hamas, just like Human Rights Watch are, like Amnesty International and indeed every aid and civil liberties organisation on earth that comments. Mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians scrambling for bags of flour though, that is just fine.

You would believe from reading this Matt Taibbi tweet that @eoinhiggins.bsky.social’s book is about him or that it names him on the cover. No.
The book spends more time on Glenn Greenwald. The cover suggests a general phenomenon in our culture — that everyone online has seen.

If you grew up in the 1970s and 1980s, as I did, the world is upside down, backwards and prolapsed. Though I pay attention to politics for a living, it's still hard for me to believe that my country, the United States, is aligned with Russia. As @dennycarter.bsky.social said, none of it makes sense.
BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”
Read that again.
