If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons merges with drone manufacturer Merger to take drone firm public is latest business move by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr as father is in White House

A Golf club firm owned by Trump’s sons is merging with a drone manufacturer.

But nothing to see here, right? Cause a golf club manufacturing company and drone manufacturer with Israeli ties merger is perfectly fucking normal.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history

"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

Illustration of a pinkish-beige pigeon perched on a small, detailed branch with moss. The pigeon has a black band across its neck, wings shaded in gray and beige, and a long tail with a distinctive dark band near the end. Its feet are pink and gripping the branch. The artwork is delicate and precise, showcasing the bird’s smooth feathers and rounded head with a soft pink eye. The text below identifies the bird as "Colombe Blonde" (Columba risoria), emphasizing its pale coloration. The background is plain and off-white, highlighting the bird as the main subject.
