If anyone says something that can vaguely be interpreted as antisemitic, there are Congressional hearings, arrests, etc. But @LauraLoomer openly hates Muslims and she gets to hire and fire anyone in the US government. People in power don't care about bigotry, they weaponize it.

100% of Thai women working in Israeli agriculture report being sexually assaulted in Israel — 654 of 654 surveyed. A report by immigration experts Dr. Yahel Kurlander and Dr. Shahar Shoham said “the State of Israel has abandoned these women” and that filing a complaint can mean…

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet. The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is worth over $350 BILLION – after receiving billions in government contracts – but could be paying LESS in taxes than you. Why? Because Trump and Republicans rigged the tax code with loopholes for billionaire corporations. No more corporate handouts.

In the future, when all beings cooperate willingly, genocide will be a thing of the past. No one will force others at gunpoint to move where they live. Bullying, extortion, and coercive force will fade and replaced by willingness, care, and compassion.

In the future, when all beings are enlightened and cooperate willingly, no one will need to be hungry. No one will need to work in a field they don't want to work in to have a roof over their head. People will help each other and work out their conflicts through careful process.

Reading "Reweaving our Human Fabric" by Dr. @MikiKashtan . In the latter part of the book she has a bunch of "social science fiction" stories. I love that she imagines a world based in cooperation and willingness, beyond capitalism and coercion.

Ohio is creating a political earthquake today felt across the nation. GOP: Your extremism and anti-democratic scheming are going down to crushing defeat. And it’s going to get worse for you from here. #Issue1

Trump won Ohio by eight points. And Republicans just lost a ballot measure there on abortion (basically) by 13 points. That's abortion rights making a gigantic 21 point difference. GOP, try running against women's rights ... and find out.

Starbucks fired 150 pro-union baristas and closed a dozen unionized shops. Chipotle shuttered a store in Maine when workers tried to unionize. Amazon spent $14.2 million on anti-union consultants in 2022 to stifle organizing. Common theme: they're terrified of worker power.

Republicans made a big, big mistake (huge) when they came for Roe. They fucked around with our rights, and now they get to enjoy finding the fuck out. Because we’re just getting started.
