Today’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The degrowth movement calls for a broader societal shift.

A year ago a young anarchist and active member of the Air Force set himself on fire in a protest of the US involvement in the ongoing genocide in #Palestine. We spoke with several of his friends about his life and convictions. itsgoingdown.org/this-is-amer...

Outside the US Embassy tonight, remember Aaron Bushnell, who died one year ago today

I’ve heard the most horrible stories about this, including literally running off life support machines. What’s sad to me is the people losing this aid didn’t matter to most outlets until they could be used as a cudgel against Trump. I’ve been pitching their stories for years and getting nothing back

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, has now grown to a record size of 319,233 active members. 14,000 new members joined in the past five weeks. That’s nearly as many as the previous 12 months. minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/07/f...

This quote got my attention: “1 in 4 Americans will be betting on the Super Bowl. That 1.5 billion has gotta be one of the biggest single day transfers of wealth from lower income brackets upward in human history.”

NEW: A group known as the 'puppygirl hacker polycule' has leaked thousands of police training & policy manuals from departments across the country www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipo...

Hello, please pay attention: A Nevada dairy worker has contracted the deadly D1.1 strain of bird flu, seen in a British Columbia teen who recovered and a Louisiana victim who died. This mutated strain spreads rapidly among mammals, including cattle, and is moving faster than others.

Here is a glimpse into that secular version of The Rapture: "The underground abode will be decked out with a number of lavish amenities such as wellness areas, gourmet dining, and a medical suite with robots for doctors." www.realtor.com/news/unique-... h/t @thelever.bsky.social

rad dude

“It scares me for the future of farming,” Resnick said. “Not just that funding won’t be available for new farmers that need it, but that farmers won’t trust the government going forward.” My bakery went solar using REAP funding long ago so I know: businesses pay up front, reimbursed after. Brutal

a lot of ppl mocking farmers in the comments bc “they probably voted for Trump” & yes there are a lot of big ag corps in farming now but I promise you this will hurt smaller individual farmers the most. Also we uh. We need farmers guys

Farmers are reporting that millions of dollars they were promised by the U.S. Agriculture Department is missing. The Trump administration promised that a federal funding freeze would not apply to projects directly benefiting individuals. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Kill the doomer in your head. And long as we’re here there’s hope. And as long as we’re here there are opportunities to act. People, both in the U.S. and around the world, have always organized and struggled through seemingly impossible conditions. www.jphilll.com/p/kill-the-d...

For folks who are surprised about, or shocked by, Vance calling on Trump to ignore judges, he’s been saying it for a while but much of our political press wasn’t paying attention:

"They think they deserve the world, and they see themselves not being given what they’re owed, by women and by society at large. As with many young men with a chip on their shoulder, these DOGE types became willing and angry cogs in the fascist machinery."

folks really need to accept that "lawful" and "lawless" don't matter, what matters is being able to marshal and deploy force (force of capital, the force of arms, the force of a crowd...) none of the people running the country right now give a good goddamn about the law

Logic here is that they believe that what America needs is two conservative parties

this is essentially, what's up

People always believe they will be the exception to disability and chronic illness There will be a cure when it’s their turn. They will try hard enough and get better They can’t accept that many things have no cure. It’s no one’s fault. Most people will face disability at some point in their lives

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law. Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

REI is not your fucking friend. This is just another shitty department store shoving a credit card down your throat. I have personally witnessed so many labor rights abuses & a rampant culture of sexual harassment in my former store. REI is using the same union-busting law firm as TJ’s & Amazon

would an expert on the Right's longtime war on the Deprtment of Education be interested in being interviewed for It Could Happen Here?

You see, the problem is that, besides #Tariffs and already skyrocketing prices, we now ALSO have to worry about all that #Deregulation Food will no longer be trustworthy; vehicles will no longer be safe; any and all US airlines will be too dangerous to use #CanadaBoycottsUSProducts

An increasing amount of the political commentary I’d like to make is composed of things I can’t say

Sharing some lessons from the Korean people who impeached, arrested, and indicted the president for his abuse of power: 1. The People first went for the those that were under him who went along with his plans. Because once you get the henchmen, there's no one for the top to call on anymore.

oh things are going to get so much worse than I even conceived of

elon: telling ppl who works for me is a crime economic times of india: here is every life detail of the Indian kid
