#Trump just abolished corporate transparency in the US by executive fiat. Not having to disclose who actually owns businesses in America is basically a huge "OPEN FOR BUSINESS" sign for dirty money from around the world. (and they did it by... tweeting) […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

Sen. Bernie Sanders, speaking on Sunday's "Meet the Press," argued the cash crunch would end if Congress repealed the Social Security tax cap: U.S. taxpayers only pay Social Security taxes on the first $176,100 of their annual wages. He said that means the ultrawealthy like Musk pay the same […]

Watching this RESCENE stage makes me so happy! I haven't followed western popular music for a long time, but I think I'm right in saying that nothing like this is to be found there. https://youtu.be/bQ24gSDbMqY?si=DdeRHwMZRJPefnre #Kpop #RESCENE #GlowUp #GirlGroups

I find Trump as repulsive as most people here, but as a German, one thing I want to push back on is focusing on one man. Hitler's rise was possible because he was able to exploit the racial hatred and conspiratorial thinking that already existed. It's MAGA acolytes that see Trump as an […]

I was making a post about RFK Jr, but a I made a keyboard error and the whole thing disappeared. I took that as the voice of the gods, and decided to post a pretty kpop idol instead. Although I have mixed feelings about (G)I-DLE, I love this picture of Yuqi. #Kpop #KpopPix #Yuqi

From time to time I see speculation about Musk being "on the spectrum" or a psychopath. Rather than speculate in psychological terms, we should judge Musk from an ethical point of view and so pronounce him to be an evil man whose viciousness is partly, but not wholly […] [Original post on c.im]

Let us not imagine that the midterms will set things right. To think thus is to delude oneself for these three reasons: - Whatever the midterm results, Trump will continue to hold and expand executive power. - Don't bank on a backlash, especially if Putin and the Saudis release lots of oil […]
