This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

WHAT THE HELL

She was involved in teaching, leafleting factories, organizing strikes strikes, aid for political prisoners (one of the earliest forms of “red aid”) and organizing women against capitalist oppression

In exile in Germany she became an agitator for the German SPD

Alexandra Kollontai died on this day 74 years ago. She was a major player in the socialist movement in Russia and even wrote a lot of Soviet legislation. Take a moment to read about her and read some of her work today!

Feminism without socialism is simply diversification of the oppressor. Socialism without feminism leaves half of the world in chains. The emancipation of women and workers are one and the same.

The elite are irrelevant. Society literally doesn't need them. We need garbage collectors, teachers, fire fighters, librarians, farmers. The more we realize we need each other, the closer we are to a better world

Jared Kushner helped cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans.

Then he got $2B from the Saudis.

I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright!

That’s happening NOW

The war of aggression launched by the criminal Netanyahu government and United States imperialism against Iran has ignited a full-scale war and dragged the region and its peoples towards more disasters and civilian casualties. Read the full story here: cpusa.org/article/join...

‘A sobering preview’: extreme heat now affects one in three people globally, study finds Rising temperatures making it hard even for young, healthy people to safely do normal physical tasks in many regions

1 in 3 people affected by extreme heat, given just a ~ 1.5C hotter planet

This number will explode in coming decades as huge parts of the world become effectively unliveable

This, in turn, will drive starvation, conflict and migration on an unprecedented scale

"Israel hasn't just carried out a genocide in Gaza for over 2 years, it's also attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Qatar & Yemen, all FIFA members
Immediately suspending Russia, yet allowing Israel to continue competing despite years of atrocities is utter hypocrisy"

Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."

"Lots of North Sea propaganda out there today.
Here’s the facts:

🛢️ *We* don’t have any reserves. They were privatised in the 80s, unlike Norway’s, which are publicly owned.

🛢️ North Sea production peaked in 1999.

🛢️ Production will fall by 95% by 2050, even with new licences."

If you think the global leadership didn't know this would happen, you're naive.

Two known war criminals, with warrants for their arrests, have now expanded their wars.

They all knew.

They did nothing to prevent this.

The American government is the worst of it, as far as complicity.
Shameful.
