Tax Day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it | Zohran Mamdani, Gabriel Zucman and Joseph Stiglitz There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us

"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon.

The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

Petition: Strengthen and enforce rules to stop scam emergency trade call-out adverts Require search engines to verify emergency trade advertisers before allowing paid adverts. Only allow adverts from trusted, accountable providers and ban “bait and switch” pricing. Remove scam adverts...

Some excerpts from @johnsipher.bsky.social 's billiant piece👇

The #US handling of the Russo-Ukrainian war and the Iran war is comparable to the fiasco in Iraq.

In all three cases, political decisions are made without any basis in facts, because intel is ignored for political reasons.

I greatly enjoyed this conversation on one of my favourite podcasts (an underappreciated one, IMO). It starts out about AI but it's really about fighting fascism.

Got it

Heard !

Ok :)

In the US-Iran war, data centers are a target. Iran has struck several Amazon facilities, including another one just this week in Bahrain.

A black and white political cartoon in a pencil sketch style, titled "WORLD AFFAIRS THEATER". Two large men, recognizable as Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin, stand over a small stage and operate control bars with strings attached to a smaller central figure. On the left, a large Netanyahu holds marionette strings and says via speech bubble, "You had your turn—I'm not done yet!" On the right, an equally large Putin holds strings for the same puppet, saying in a speech bubble, "OK, it's MY turn now!" The smaller marionette puppet being manipulated is recognizable as Donald Trump, looking small and flustered as he is pulled in different directions. Below the stage, a crowd of silhouetted heads watches the performance.

Look! The world’s biggest authoritarians are finally learning to share! They’re so collaborative when it comes to war crimes 🤗.

Today, millions will gather across the country and around the world in common cause.

In defiance of Trump and the oligarchs, of their tyranny and corruption.

Their power is defined by our fear of resistance.

Let’s show them we are not afraid.

Call me a radical, but NO.

We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots.

We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve.
