The rich HATE public land. This administration is purposefully hamstringing national parks so they can cry "wasted money" and sprint towards privatization. They desperately want to strip OUR parks of resources or make them exclusive spaces for the wealthy. We went through similar shit with the USPS

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

New in PN: Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship "The arguments being made by the administration boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance appears to literally be that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him."

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people. It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies. In that sense, the system is working very well. But it is not working for the average American. We need Medicare for All.
