In a world driven by power and profit rather than justice, Sudan’s rich resources — including its oil and gold reserves and its strategic location for maritime trade — made its onslaught “justified” enough for colonial powers to extract its treasures.
Here in Gaza, We See Our Horror and Grief Mirrored in Sudan
Colonial powers are using the same playbook in both Gaza and Sudan — divide, conquer, and occupy.

As much as I love snow (I love it so much), I'm thinking about our homeless neighbors. There are more people who are unhoused and unsheltered now than last year and it's only going to get worse with cuts to HUD

Thanks to the Trump admin, the IRS’s FREE Direct File tool will not be available next tax season.
This tool lets Americans file taxes without paying an expensive service.
This is just another way that Trump is helping big corporations profit by screwing over working people.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I was saying to a non-media-industry friend the other day:
IMO, the media story of Trump 1.0 was a lot of outlets/institutions failing to rise to the challenge of covering Trump properly.
The story of Trump 2.0 is that large swaths of the news media are now captured or compromised.
