Screenshot of a Threads post by user β€œkuroscharney.” The text reads: β€œThe reason trickle-down economics never worked is it assumes that if corporate billionaires pay less in taxes, they’ll use the extra wealth to hire more workers or raise wages. But the goal of corporate billionaires is not to rescue workers from poverty. It’s to maximize profit while spending as little as possible on everyone else.”

Basic econ taught me this: Tax cuts for the rich don’t help workers. Profit follows returns, not generosity. When gains move upward, nothing trickles down.

Real prosperity comes from fair wages, strong public services, & rules that make the economy work for everyone.

Happy #marxistMonday comrades.

If you watch "Friday the 13th" backwards, it's a beautiful story about a man resurrecting people with his machete.

Just look at their faces! This sweetest scene is at Utah’s Hogle Zoo, in the African Savanna barn where their new calf with parents Minka and Ja is being housed. Thanks @taniel.bsky.social

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "listen mate, life has surface noise."

Fact check: The US trades a lot more with China than Canada does - not just in absolute $ but also relative to each country's total trade.

* US trade with China = 10.9% of total US trade

* Canada's trade with China = 7.9% of total Canadian trade

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Kyiv residents gathered for an outdoor party as russian strikes left them with no energy grid, heating, or water in the dead of winter.

​"We have more electricity at night than during the day. Water comes and goes. We have almost no heating. But we have strength of spirit and a desire to live."

Filming the police is not obstruction.

Filming the police is not resisting.

Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting.

Holding onto your phone is not resisting.

Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

Thinds Id love clarification on from members of MAGA:

1. Are you for compliance with police or against it? You saic Renee Good deserved to be killed for not listening, but Ashley Babbitt wasn't.

2, You said you were against new wars, but seem to suppor? what's happening with both Venezuela and Greenland.

3. Did you actually want pedophiles to be locked up? l'm confused why you were loud about the Epstein Files until we started to see Trump was a part of them.

4. I thought masks were oppressive, too hard to breathe through, and not something the government could tell us to wear, but you support ICE agents terrorizing citizens while wearing them?

5. You said he'd lower grocery prices and make it easier for the middle class family in America, but prices are higher and the middle class family can barely get by.

6. You voted for the pro-life party, yet new bans have increased infant deaths, mother deaths, and abortions. And now fight against feeding students lunch and following science based vaccine recommendations.

7, You boast of a Christian nation but clap when we turr away the foreigner, ignore the hungry, encourage systems that disparage the poor, and think empathy is a weakness.
