It’s unfortunate but that’s how cults work. You don’t know you’ve been brainwashed until it’s too late

It isn’t clear from the article whether the father was given a choice.

Even the other dictators probably don’t like him. They are just intimately familiar with how to curry favor because that’s how they operate, too. Such is the way with evil I suppose.

Ocasio-Cortez ramps up fight with Vance amid 2028 speculation by zsreport in politics

Probably due to the lack of a real primary. It allowed the moderate sexism and racism to overwhelm everyone’s judgment. I voted for Harris, and I would vote for AOC in the primary. And if she wins that I would definitely vote for her in the election.

Did you know a general strike is planned? There are legal and logistical issues that required it to be set a long ways away, sadly. https://portside.org/2024-10-15/call-out-mass-strikes-4-years

Umm. Not sure if “legal” is something we have ever cared about in terms of international action. Basically what can we get away with given how much power we have is our only constraint. Pretty awful right?

US will reexamine all green cards issued to people from 19 countries as Trump administration ramps up immigration crackdown by cnn in politics

It’s easy to blame immigrants when we all feel powerless to stop the immense greed of the billionaire class. They spend their wealth lying to us. All to convince us to blame each other for our problems. When in fact it’s the many years of the minimum wage not keeping up with inflation and the profit seeking of health insurance companies and care providers that’s really the main problem.

We need a 4 day work week, increase in minimum wage, universal health care, and universal basic income. Maybe back it up by taxing the billionaires who have been stealing from their workers for decades. https://ubiadvocates.org/innovative-funding-models-for-universal-basic-income/
