Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students.
They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe.
At least one was detained.
They’re not going after criminals.
They’re grabbing anyone they can.

This is wrong in every way! The Biden Administration had implemented a new rule that was supposed to take effect 10/01/25….but DT & his band of merry traitors have ruined that legislation & are attempting to defund the CFPB.

A report published Wednesday by Greenpeace exposes the plastics industry as “merchants of myth” still peddling the false promise of recycling as a solution to the global pollution crisis, even as the vast bulk of commonly produced plastics remain unrecyclable.“After decades of meager investments acc...

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

A recount is necessary. Republicans have now proven they can not be trusted with democratic procedure. This whole situation stinks to high heaven, of vote manipulation by the right.
Never concede until the recounts have been certified.

This is the kind of legislation that should not be difficult to pass. Rep Dan Goldman is introducing the ROBINHOOD Act to tax loans Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other billionaires use to evade taxes. It'll generate $276 BN for universal childcare and other programs.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

I saw someone say they don't consider ICE to be law enforcement. But the reality is that they serve the State, and they're most certainly not on the side of the working class. Many people still believe that law enforcement/police are meant to serve the people, they don't, they serve Capitalists.
