  • UPS workers approve new contract with hard-fought pay and safety wins, ending strike threat

    Jump

  • Spoke with a local UPS worker, he was able to let me know about the wins!

    I informed him about the potential Auto strike, also.

    Small wins, need to keep them up!

  • Trump Voters Trust Ex-President More Than Their Family and Friends: Poll

  • It is sad to hear how we let the wealthy class and politicians divide us on culture wars and identity politics.

    We should be talking more to the people we don't agree with and come together over class lines, working class vs. wealthy class.

    Trump and Sanders were both able to create a grassroots movement for a reason.

    Talking is the way to get to what we share in common, instead we focus on what we disagree on.

  • I switched from Windows 10 to Linux. Its great!

    Jump

  • Great to hear!

    Now that you have a couple of days since the switch what are you missing or not missing aside from what you pointed out? Any little things that stick out?

  • Maui residents targeted in scams to grab land after tragedy, officials say

    Jump

  • I thought most of Hawaii was already like that, that is why it is a tavel destination. The companies own the best land and they build hotels and resorts to bring in the wealthy.

    I heard Oprah was making a big deal about the fires, not because of the people, but due to her owning 3000 arces of land around the area. Briahna Joy Gray, on Rising with The Hill goes into it a bit: https://youtu.be/Fn2X4V_Lde0?t=299

    Similar to how the wealthy have taken over the smaller islands around.

    If anyone has more info, please feel free to reply!

  • TIL about the "'New York Times problem'—the dilemma of indicting Assange for the very same kind of investigative journalism that mainstream media engages frequently"

  • Wow, thank you for the article!

  • I would rather give him a medal for his journalism and leaks.

    Freedom of the Press is important.

    Censorship does not stop at just things you do not like.

    Russiagate was false and overblown, to my understanding the Clintons had a hand in it.

    I am way more critical and distrustful when news likes this breaks out know, while also the MSM follows suit in agreement.

  • What the!

    What kind of Real Meat (TM) is that?

    The one on the right does look more appealing though...

  • There is a reasob to fleeing to Russia and other places.

    Do you know what happens to the ones they catch?

    Even someone like Epstein only lasted a bit before going to hang with the reaper.

  • Massachusetts passed a 4% millionaire's tax last year. Now every public school student is going to get free lunch

    Jump

  • Yes, you are right!

    It is always the go-to for politicians, I see it workong less and less as more people get informed.

  • Thoughts on Yanis' view on crypto technology? Do you agree or disagree?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the article, learning aboutnthe positives.

    On another note...

    In February, President Joe Biden urged lawmakers to pass his billionaires' tax proposal, which would impose a minimum 20% tax on households with a net worth of more than $100 million.

    It is a start, but may be too late in the game for the blue administration for 2024.

    I have also heard of other positive things being pushed, in my bubble of politics.

    Might be due to all the military conflicts around the world and union strikes, that are also starting to ramp up in the US.

    Great post on the positive news. Thanks again!
