"Rahmstorf, who has studied the Amoc for 35 years, has said a collapse must be avoided 'at all costs'. 'I argued this when we thought the chance of an Amoc shutdown was maybe 5%, and even then we were saying that risk is too high, given the massive impacts. Now it looks like it’s more than 50%.'"
Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich
Well, today we're taxing the rich...
Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
[Via @itep.org]
The effective federal corporate income tax rate:
1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%
Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.
That is how we will pay for it.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.
Iran in Ghana @@IRAN GHANA •6h Read slowly. "We don't need the Strait." "Go open it yourselves." "Fine, we'll open it." "Actually, we're blockading it." "OK not blockading everyone." Five positions. Six weeks. Two of them today. And our armed forces just sat there, sipping tea, watching America negotiate with America over a strait Iran already blockades. Empires used to fall in centuries. This one can't hold a policy for an afternoon.
Iran in Ghana & @IRAN GHANA • 5h X The Pope prayed for peace. Trump tonight called him "WEAK" and said: "I don't want a Pope who criticizes me!" Let the record show who this man is: He went to Epstein's island consistently FOR YEARS! He paid hush money to a porn star while his wife was pregnant — and got convicted for it. 34 felonies! His missile hit a school full of innocent children in Minab. 168 dead! Six months ago, he said with his own mouth: "I'M NOT HEAVEN-BOUND" (the only honest sentence he's ever said). The Pope lit a candle for your DARK soul. But there are 168 little girls at heaven's gate who got there before you. BECAUSE OF YOU! They'll be the jury. And they remember your name. THE HELL AWAITS YOU, DON! @ 23 17 557 S2.1K i
Let's review: Trump threatened to destroy "a whole civilization." Then he begged for a ceasefire. Then he flew his VP across the world to negotiate for 21 hours. Vance left with nothing. So now Trump wants to blockade the strait he can't even sail through; the same strait Iran closed weeks ago and dared anyone to reopen. Your best generals failed. Your best diplomats failed. And your big move is.. doing Iran's job for them?!? Our Revolutionary Guard should send you a thank-you note. You're the cheapest contractor they never hired. No one can write a comedy this good.
Iran in Ghana & @IRAN GHANA • 18h BREAKING: IN A BRAVE MOVE, THE US JUST ANNOUNCED IT'S BLOCKING A STRAIT IT'S BEEN BLOCKED FROM. Read that again.
New Iranian tweets on the blockage and negotiations.
I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...
There is no more dangerous political idea than claiming another civilization must be annihilated to prevent the annihilation of your own civilization. This great replacement theory will lead to the annihilation of both civilizations, of all civilizations, of human civilization.
All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans.
For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project.

He is such a fucking moron. GFG.
A crazily unconstitutional effort to seize control of elections from states by seeking to have the USPS put in place rules to ban the transmission of mail-in ballots that don't form to standards the Trump admin puts into place and for people the Trump admin hasn't verified as a citizen.
If any other president had pardoned - pardoned! - a man like this, they would have probably been impeached by now.
Trump gets away with this kind of gross shit, day after day:

ICYMI: The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications.
It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far.
Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?
UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'
The proposal was adopted with 123 votes in favour and three against - the **United States, Israel** and Argentina.

Trump is weak — he knows it and so does everyone watching. We can all do our part to hasten his fall by making Saturday a historic demonstration of our power and his weakness: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
The regime is counting on your exhaustion. 😮💨
Your neighbors are counting on your presence. 🤝
3,000+ events this Saturday.

I still can’t believe this is real. Trump is giving a French company $1 billion in our taxpayer funds to scrap their wind farms.
Why is Trump racking up record deficits? Largely because he has turned much of the treasury over to Elon, Zuckerberg, Thiel and their ilk.
Our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is trying to suppress the vote in the midterms.
Silence isn't an option. Join us on Saturday to make No Kings Day big, loud, and inescapable: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
(around photos of Jeff Bezos and an Amazon employee) Jeff Bezos made $90 billion in profit... because of their hard work. Amazon's profits went UP 45%, but its taxes went DOWN 87%. Thanks to Trump's "Big Ugly Bill," Amazon paid just $1.2 billion in taxes (down from $9 billion last year). Hardworking Americans are struggling, while Republicans hand massive tax breaks to the Epstein class.
CNN live update: 2 min ago US removes sanctions on 140 million barrels of Iranian oil By David Goldman The Trump administration Friday night granted a temporary license for Iran to sell oil that has been sitting afloat on tankers.
🚨BREAKING: Trump REMOVES sanctions on Iranian oil [CNN].
Sometimes you have read something twice for the sheer insanity of it to sink in.
Trump is now allowing his military enemy to sell its oil, which will fund the further bombing of Americans in the Gulf.
Impeach. Remove. Imprison.

Absolutely insane. We were literally the leading economy in the world after the pandemic and Trump and this stupid Republican Congress torched it.
Ugh. The things women have to suffer and endure…🥵
The U.S. Postal Service's leader says it is set to run out of money in less than a year and may have to stop deliveries because of declining mail volume and what USPS sees as burdensome requirements. n.pr/4bu15df
