Anti-semitism IS a problem in the world, but a bigger problem right now is ultra-semitism. They believe they can do whatever they want and you cannot criticize. Ask them: “Do you believe you are above all criticism? Do you believe you’re inherently better than me?”
As one person after another explains, basic income didn’t bring on a golden age of laziness; it did the opposite. With even a little more economic wiggle room, people did things they’d always wanted to. Whether they ran for political office or started a side business, people worked more than ever and actively engaged with their communities. Economic freedom turned into all kinds of other freedoms: time, pleasure, joy and connection. The benefits of universal basic income are well-established and documented. So why don’t we choose another path other than the well-trodden one on which we’re all currently slogging away? That’s the bigger question.
Keeping people in poverty may be about control. It’s also worse than that. That the pursuit of money could come at the price of all life on earth, I cannot begin to understand. Yet here we are. As the U.S. continues to rattle sabres in the Middle East and oil prices creep upwards, threatening not only things like energy production, but also food and water, at what point does change become not obvious, but critical to our continued existence?
"It’s hard to look at the current state of the world and wonder how we managed to cock things up as badly as we have. Especially when other options are right there… trying to attract attention. One of the most overlooked of these ideas is universal basic income." 🎯💯👏

Artemis will bring space flight back into the US consciousness … and propel Elon to Trillionaire status when SpaceX goes public. But that’s not the REAL story. The real story is the public needs to tax these rich bastards.

As we approach America's 250th birthday, now is a good time for this reminder:
One of our Founders, Thomas Paine, suggested we have a universal basic income for all people 21 and over, funded by a tax on landed wealth and property.
Sounds like a hell of a birthday gift, don't you think?
The War has arrived
Omg! I have all these issues! How sad! 😢
I wouldn’t say this about any other human being, but Donald Trump cannot pass away soon enough
Awesome, America has won. Call it quits then, please!
Quote from February 1, from Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei saying they would start a regional war.
Donald knew, he’s just ignorant.
My understanding is that those barrels in the top right heading to China represent ~15% of their consumption.

The Greater Israel project. Because BiBi believes his people are more important than ANYONE else. America, #IsraelsBitch
The petrodollar: The US prints so much money, the dollar should drop but they force all countries in the world to use US dollars to buy oil. Oil profits are reinvested in Treasury bonds & stocks to keep the dollar stable. Trump put the Arabs at risk, & their statement below could crash the economy.
Data from 2013 to 2024 revealed that deaths linked to malnutrition have skyrocketed by a factor of six or about 746 percent in the United States.
NOT regime change.
They want regime collapse. Regional collapse.
It serves Israel’s goals, not Americas.
Donald is #IsraelsBitch
Their war not Americas
Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.
What stage of the apocalypse is this?

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Naturally.

No comment.
Israel probably has some juicy stuff in the Epstein files on Donald to get him to endanger his presidency like this.
DONTCHATHINK?
EVERY accusation is a confession
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...
"That's just how it is."
The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...
