Kudos to Stephen Colbert for speaking out.

Surrendering to the Trump regime's tyranny only invites more of it.

Paramount clearly seems to care more about getting a merger approved than its own integrity.

Until there are organisations and institutions available to hold Western powers accountable for their actions, expect there to be no peace. Expect regions to continue being unstable, wars to continue and the possibility of blow back reaching home.

No one should be surprised that Zohran Mamdani supports democratic control over the economy, the end goal of socialism.

But he won because he combined socialist politics with practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis facing working people.

Across Europe, trade unions have a long history of making political demands for universal health care and benefits.

The unique brutality of the US capitalist class bred a labor movement that has often limited itself to being a private insurance provider.

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

[From our Climate Desk partner @wired.com]
FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims
The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion.

These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people.

Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis.

The truth is we can’t afford not to.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
