Corporate America’s playbook:
1) Exploit workers to maximize profits
2) Use profits to buy Congress
3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws
4) Use union-busting laws to further exploit workers
5) Rinse and repeat
How we break this cycle? Build back a powerful labor movement.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It is important to understand that Trump is not the cause of the enshittification of America. He is a consequence. Unless the system is fundamentally changed, the enshittification will continue even after Trump is long gone. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-enshittification-of-everything-c94

Dem's always get freaked out by the progressives/Democratic socialists. They really do suck at reading the room. Americans are sick of the corruption and ineffectiveness, that's why Mamdani and other progressives are winning.

The Democratic establishment’s hysteria over the Democratic Socialists of America’s organizing methods has it exactly backward: the Democratic Party has almost no ability to democratically organize voters, while DSA is reviving grassroots campaigning.

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy?
In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

I was a Democratic Socialist way before it was cool. I got crucified for it. Now all the big accounts are starting to bandwagon. Just remember that they were wrong for decades and got us into this mess. They have no vision and no wisdom. They are intellectual parasites.

It is time to reorder our priorities. Not against the economy—but for an economy that protects life. For true prosperity is not found in our bank accounts, but in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the ecosystems that sustain us. What if we began to consciously strengthen precisely that? 🌱
