“It’s [Citizen Lab] one of the few institutions that investigate cyberthreats exclusively in the public interest, and in doing so, it has exposed some of the most egregious digital abuses of the past two decades.”

Ronald Deibert and his research group, the Citizen Lab, have rigorously worked to unveil alarming digital threats for the past two decades. Now, he warns, this kind of work is under threat.

Putin has only been able to continue this war for this long because JP Morgan and their Puppet DeWever prevent Russia from falling. Nothing useful in an apologist
🇧🇪 Belgian PM: "If we use Russian assets to finance the war, then we also assume that the Russians will be exhausted in two years... A tsar like Putin can do everything: starve his people, lead them to the slaughter and organize genocide. But lose the war? He cannot do that."

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.
We need a wealth tax.

The function of AI must not be to make the wealthiest people on Earth — Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Zuckerberg, Gates — even richer.
This revolutionary technology must benefit ALL of humanity, not just the privileged few who own it.

The US keeps selling arms to the UAE despite their support for these crimes. And Trump only cares about cutting deals with the Emiratis.
Enough. No more weapons for war crimes.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system.
Today, I had the pleasure of meeting with nurses at Northwestern Medical Center in Vermont. They are doing a great job.
I look forward to working with them to improve wages and working conditions at the hospital.

And yet, just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day.
