Noah Evslin (@noahevslin) on Threads I think we need to start asking why the majority of Trump’s cabinet has secretly moved into military housing?

FactCheckJeff (@factcheckjeff) on Threads Trump announced a "$300 BILLION DOLLAR DEAL" for a new oil refinery in Brownsville, TX owned by "America First Refining". Only a couple of problems with that: 1) America First Refining is nothing more...

Sean Baggett (@seanbaggett81) on Threads Guys this is Senator Chris Murphy. You need to read it all. He's confirming what many of us already suspected about this war. I can tell you Trump is 100% lying trying to make out like the US is wrap...

A photo of Palestinians walking through roads surrounded by rubble and collapsed buildings in Al-Zahra, northwest of Nuseirat Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip on Dec. 19, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "Israel Destroyed Gaza’s Roads and Transit. Now, We Walk Everywhere." and the DEK, "Israeli bombing left cars in Gaza immobile and roads impassable. The assault on Iran has only spiked prices and worsened conditions."

While the world turns its attention to Iran, daily life in Gaza has not returned to pre-genocide conditions. theintercept.com/2026/03/09/i...

Well, you can say that again. How few men are holding the entire world hostage with their reckless egos and superficial ideologies? Warfare asymmetries & planlessness. #Iran

Things are not going to get better as long as oligarchs rule the roost in our democracies | George Monbiot If we want the kind of fair, functioning state Britain saw post-1945, we need to take on the economic powers that wrecked it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

From 1941 to 1952 in the UK, the top rate of income tax was 98%. A luxury goods purchase tax introduced in 1940 later rose to 100%.
Result? The share of incomes captured by the richest 0.1% fell from 7% in 1937 to just over 1% in 1975. That's what we need today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I wasn't intending to turn this into a thread, but it seems to have happened anyway.
It's about the great plague on our lives: the extreme wealth of a tiny number of people.
And what to do about it.
