Electoral #politics is beyond repair; #democracy isn’t.

The Europeans say that G7 was a success and that the US and Europe are getting closer again.
I hope that's true, but I feel Trump just says whatever pleases the other side and won't follow through on anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Labor Wins When They Run Union Members for Office
A new report from the Center for Working-Class Politics, Arizona State University’s Center for Work and Democracy, and Jacobin shows how labor can play to its strengths — and win. The secret? Run more union members for office.

I just realized yesterday that Trump's August 2025 deployment of the national guard to DC never ended and he's still spending over a million dollars per day of tax payer money to have them walk around the city.

If a company breaks the law and profits from it, and the penalty fine isn't more than what their profit was, then they have not been punished. They've just paid their extortion fee to the government.

"Finally and most abstractly, but no less importantly, Democrats need to present the American people with a vision for the country that isn’t defined negatively against the character and politics of Trump, who, execrable as he is, will not be around as a galvanizing villain forever. He might carry them to victory this November, yes. But he can’t carry them much longer."

The last known sane thing a US Republican tried to say:
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
–- Former U.S. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld (a famous liar), 2002
He failed miserably...

Perceived inequality is a breeding ground for populism, say researchers

Perceived inequality is a breeding ground for populism, say researchers
In recent decades, income and wealth disparities have widened significantly in many European countries. At the same time, support for populist parties has grown. Previous studies have already pointed out that rising inequality may be contributing to the growth of populist movements. But how can this correlation be explained? Why are more and more people turning to populist parties?

Oh the irony! Politicians in the UK like to describe their parties as a "broad church", when the reality is that most denominations, especially the Anglican communion, seem intent on tearing themselves apart. #BroadChurch #politics

Tax the rich for a fairer Britain #Britain

Tax the super-rich for a greener, fairer Britain
Britain is crying out for national renewal, and it’s climate solutions that can improve people’s lives starting tomorrow. Solutions that are achievable if those with the broadest shoulders - who also emit the most to pollute our climate - chip in and do their bit. I’ve joined Greenpeace in demanding a one-off National Renewal Tax on the super-rich 0.1% in the UK - with wealth over £10 million - to help rebuild our country. Will you also add your name?

In Denmark, the Center Did Not Hold
Tuesday’s Danish election punished the Social Democrats as well as their center-right government partners. The result again showed voters’ distaste for managerial coalitions spanning the neoliberal center ground.

The grift never fucking ends.

"Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul on Friday joined a coalition of 22 other states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's recent attempt to exert federal control over mail-in ballots and voter rolls.
"An executive order isn’t a royal decree," Kaul said in a statement. "The President can’t unilaterally dictate how states should run elections.""

It's the White House that's saying this so I am guessing that an end to the war will be announced on Friday and then they will announce that the war is restarting on Tuesday.
"The White House believes it's getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and set a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations, according to two U.S. officials and two other sources briefed on the issue."
