We are the first generation that has sufficient resources to put a roof over every head, a meal on every table, to provide education and basic health care to all, and to care for the planet.
Yet we don't.
You have to ask what is wrong with us?

Republicans have turned the USA into the kind of police state that Republicans always warned you America would become if you didn't vote for Republicans.

It is time for universal healthcare in America because dignity & health are human rights.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Perhaps Donald Trump should sign an executive order declaring June 14 (his birthday) to be National Racial Animus Day.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

PSA for politicians:
When you are campaigning you tell us about the things you believe need doing.
Once you are elected you need to be showing us that you are doing the things.
Too many of you never make the transition from campaigning to governing.

The Hernández pardon created “a tremendous disincentive for [overseas] prosecutors, police, judges and governments to take on the risk of investigating and assisting the extradition of officials who may be released arbitrarily by the US president”, said Ricardo Zúñiga, a former senior US state department official who focuses on Latin America.
“The US was seen as a place where justice would be done . . . it really undermines faith in the US justice system.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreicyrhntrhmeqvtgwwccd7mnqezzudjvz7grtujunjymvitzvolddm@jpeg)

Remember this in 2028 when a bunch of them will crawl out from the cracks they hide in and claim they can lead the country.

This bears repeating daily: We have been indoctrinated into believing that capitalism is inherently rational, when it is not. Homo economicus never existed.
There are a lot of reasons for the failure of this narrative when it runs up against reality, but I think a lot of it is that we’ve been indoctrinated into this notion that capitalism is somehow inherently rational, which it is not
