Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
An awesome story about how solar microgrids kept the power on during Puerto Rico's latest blackouts.
This is bottom-up, power-to-the-people shit. Get excited!
Not Just Fox News, Most Of Corporate Media…
I don't care what Fox News says. Biden dug us out of the hole Trump left us in. He brought the economy back from Covid. He wasn't great on every single issue, but at least he didn't make every day of our lives a dumpster fire. Thanks, Joe.
Drawings of a grocery store and public transit. Text reads “wear masks for public tasks”. There are 6 respirator masks below the art.
These 15 MAGA Republicans will sell out their own constituents to fund tax breaks to the rich.
They are willing to let their constituents DIE and cut Medicaid to do this.
Light up those phones! #HandsOffOurMedicaid
Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.
Reagan is the problem.
RIP Virginia Giuffre.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
Jimmy Carter had to get rid of his peanut farm because it might look like he made an unseemly profit from being president. But Donald Trump is being allowed to shake down foreign countries to personally pay him protection money with his cryptocurrency to stave off his insane, illegal tariffs.

Seems right.
And, wildest thing about it, Tesla's first big factory...financed by the LPO. Textbook pulling up the ladder behind you. Elon got that loan...now no one else can have one.
Short-sighted, petty, infuriating.
The highly educated people who are republicans are honestly some of the most evil people alive.
They know what they’re doing and it’s all about power no matter who dies.
NEW: A Treasury Department inspector general is probing efforts by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE to obtain private taxpayer data and other sensitive information, internal communications reviewed by ProPublica show.
Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about
Social Security is YOUR money. You paid into it every paycheck. It's not a handout—it's an earned benefit.
Over 66M Americans depend on Social Security & ½ of all seniors rely on it for most of their income.
Republicans want to cut it!
