welcome! it ain't perfect here, but at least it's decentralized and harder to manipulate in favor of the oligarchs.

first time hearing about this, any more details you can provide or link to a news release? is this Ubiik?

their suggestions on how to actually make cities safer were all wonderful. but nowhere did they say the one thing that matters the most. REDUCE INEQUALITY BY TAXING THE ULTRA RICH.

seriously, how else do we fund the suggestions they just made? tax them bitches.

saving this for later, thanks

the Cold War was a free printing money machine for 50 years. creating a new one against China makes sense if you're an oligarch whose wealth rides upon govt contracts and endless military industrial expansionism.

and it kinda explains why Putin is manipulating Trump to make him believe they'll choose the US over China in a game of saber rattling. Russia is positioning itself to be the tie-breaker so it can play both sides against one another in lucrative energy/arms deals. maybe they'll even get some real estate out of it.

the 2016 and 2020 coverage of Bernie Sanders and their pushing of centrist anti-progressive agendas in the editorials was enough for me to unsubscribe forever. after what they've done in recent years, there's no way I'll ever trust them to represent working class interests.

here's an example just a couple weeks ago of them laundering Republican party talking points into man on the street style "people are saying" interviews about how 'aktually I'm black and I'm glad DEI is being ended.' receipts showing stealth edits made to cover their tracks in the linked article.

'Don't worry, this will only hurt poor people, and I'm just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire!'

this makes me so angry. congress already took away the Affordable Connectivity Plan which helped millions of Americans.

internet service providers should be nationalized and made into a public utility.
