The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity.
It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030.
Taxing the rich is a global necessity.
This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Honk honk, eh. The new Cons are nothing but cave artists.
🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”
It’s 2026. Organizers are still being jailed for defending workers. Lee Cheuk-yan, a longtime CLC ally, is imprisoned in Hong Kong for leading peaceful assemblies.
Silencing organizers anywhere threatens workers everywhere. #FreeLeeCheukYan

The idea of an elected judiciary is a fundamentally sophmoric view of democracy, one that equates--and, indeed, reduces-- the many "inputs" into a whole, comprehensive democratic system, to nothing more than the fluctuating will of the (sacrosanct) 'electorate', at any given moment.
The fact that Melon Musk is seriously butthurt about this means that we absolutely have to repost it, continuously.
Given news of Canada's lost measles-elimination status, it seemed à propos to circulate this 2022 article from McGill Journal of Law and Health 15(1). In it I argue that parental right to refuse routine childhood vaccination is not well grounded in moral theory or law.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.
This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

And again, why are these agents kitted out like they are going into Mogadishu?

Lucy Ends Uncertainty With Promise Regarding Football, Charlie Brown Says
What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.
So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵
