Billionaires make up only 0.0003% of the U.S. population.
They made 19% of federal campaign donations in 2024.
THIS is why our politics are broken. We need to get big money out of politics NOW.

Gas price shocks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine showed the danger of relying on fossil fuels tied to volatile global markets.
Renewables offer something fossil fuels never can: stable energy where the price never changes.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”
None of it was true.
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
We’re in an unwanted war in an age of seemingly limitless information, yet it’s safe to say the average American has no possible reliable clue what’s going on over there cuz our government that would share any information is wholly untrustworthy, staffed w/ liars lying for a pathological liar POTUS.
People run for cover in Tel Aviv as missiles come from Lebanon -APNEWS
This was all a ruse for the Mad Man of The Middle East to start a new war with Lebanon. He knew they would shoot a few rockets at Tel Aviv and it would allow him to do a full scale invasion of Lebanon and a another land grab.
NOPE.....

Trump's hubris is going to cause the u.S. far more than anyone anticipated. He says we're winning the war by "a lot," a questionable statement about a war that shouldn't be.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1918
When people say this moment feels alarming, they’re right.
But it’s important to recognize something else:
This didn’t begin yesterday.
It began the moment a presidency decided that truth was whatever the president said it was.👇
Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
The real problem is that we have a president who is being blackmailed by Netanyahu and Putin.
Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.
Why on earth would a GOP Congress go along with this?
The ultimate answer is money.
Nope!!!!

I’m Keir for you: The PM is visiting a community center in London to discuss the impact. Expect a pooled interview with broadcasters mid-morning. There’s one quote on rising bills in his words trailed overnight that warrants chasing up: “I will always be guided by what is best for the British public. And no matter the headwinds, supporting working people and their families with the cost of living is always top of my mind.”
I mean, this just isn't true, is it? If Starmer was focused on the cost of living crisis he wouldn't insist on no customs union and no single market? Nor would he embrace the negative economic consequences of his anti-migrant policy?
Like everything else about Starmer, this is empty rhetoric.
Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow
An Iranian drone just struck Bahrain’s BAPCO refinery, the country’s largest oil refinery. Even if the USA army and allies intercept 90% of the drones, a couple that hit the refinery will shut it down for a period of time. This is the nature of the asymetric war

Of course every environmentalist is anti-war!
What could be worse than the slaughter
of so many species, both by & of humans,
the wanton destruction of natural habitats,
the spewing of millions of tons of
noxious greenhouse gases

Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission🤦♂️

There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
Bombing water supplies, killing children at school and choking ordinary people on burning oil is highly unlikely to make them cheer on the bombers and overthrow the government.
