We live in a gerontocracy because people in power aren’t going to give it up to retire and not be able to exploit their power. They play the system to appease their greed masked as activism, solidarity, and stewardship. Some don’t even hide their greed and are still voted into higher positions. Wack

Former Gov. Roy Cooper is running for the U.S. Senate and spoke at a roundtable to discuss rising costs for North Carolinians. The Big Beautiful Bill threatens higher insurance premiums for some and loss of coverage for others who deserve it.

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity.
"To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

Trump donor Larry Ellison’s Oracle will oversee TikTok’s algorithm.
His media company owns CBS News and is plotting a bid for Warner Bros., which owns CNN.
When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

News Analysis: For President Trump, a wide-ranging crackdown on mainstream media institutions and political opponents is not about hate speech, but about speech that he hates — namely, speech that is critical of him and his administration. nyti.ms/3VsCyO4

Brendan Carr wrote the section of Project 2025 on the FCC. If only people had listened to our warnings about their scheme. The Heritage Foundation has been planning this for years. They only needed a puppet to be president and SCOTUS gave him immunity.

Trump's statue going up in DC is giving some eerily similar vibes to dictator Kim Jong Un's statue in North Korea. 🫠 Worshipping a president is NOT NORMAL. America has NO Kings. Americans don't want to be North Korea.

🇮🇱 Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “There’s a business plan on Trump’s table to turn Gaza into a real estate bonanza.
We paid a lot of money for this war. Now we need to divide how we make a percentage. We did the demolition phase. Now we build. It’s much cheaper.”

Yes, this is the plot of Superman.
But this is real, it’s happening as we speak. People are dying every day, billionaires are profiting from it, and your taxes are paying for it.
Demand an end to this cruelty.
Demand justice and a free Palestine.
Demand accountability.
Protest. Boycott. Organize.

This has always been the plan. Trump, Netanyahu, Gulf rulers, and tech billionaires like Thiel & Musk are committing genocide and destroying Gaza so they can carve up the land to build tech-enabled authoritarian cities where they rule as kings.
This is not an exaggeration—they have a business plan.
