NEW: 1 in 5 homes in California are now owned by investors. If homes continue to be built at prices only affordable to these profiteers, then the housing crisis will be "a never-ending cycle," says IPS scholar @ocampo_IPS. @CyNeffNews in @GuardianUS: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
NEW: A new report shows that the Democrats' blue-collar exodus can be reversed with progressive economic policies like raising the minimum wage and expanding health care. To defeat Trumpism, Democrats must fight for workers. Sean Mason in @inequalityorg: inequality.org/article/democr…
When would-be developers of Hanscom Field’s proposed expansion argued “ferry flight reduction” would balance out an additional 6,000 private jet flights annually (2024 IEc Report), Chuck Collins from @inequalityorg at IPS came to @BosPublicRadio with the facts. @stopprivatejets
Primero Bolsonaro, y ahora Trump está "preocupado" por Álvaro Uribe. Este nivel de interferencia judicial no se debe tolerar, y la ayuda internacional no debe estar condicionada a que los aliados de Trump y Rubio reciban absoluciones.

Aún hay pseudointelectuales, pseudoperiodistas y políticos radicales de derecha q intentan convencer a sus seguidores y lectores de q los fascistas son de izquierda. Todos esos argumentos falsos basados en desinformación se desmoronan con solo ver este video de 3,5 minutos.

Como orgullosa colombiana y descendiente palestina considero el #20DeJulio una conmemoración de la libertad de nuestra patria y también un llamado a la libertad del pueblo palestino. Junto a la eurodiputada @RimaHas conversamos sobre la lucha de nuestras naciones por la paz🇵🇸🇨🇴
Delta Airlines reportedly wants to use AI to set individualized ticket prices for passengers. It's the latest company to embrace a shady tactic called "surveillance pricing" that weaponizes your personal data. Watch Lina Khan explain how it works.
Así avanza la Reforma Agraria en el Caribe: ✅ 227 hectáreas para el pueblo arhuaco. ✅ 263 hectáreas para campesinos en Sucre. ✅ 2.000 hectáreas para 119 familias en Bolívar. ✅ $760 millones en insumos agrícolas para 420 personas en Palenque. La tierra cambia de manos: más…
Zohran Mamdani’s well-known anti-Semitism and socialist credentials aren’t the only aspects of his character. What is less widely known is his alleged “hateful” attitudes towards Hindus. His opposition to the Bhagwan Ram Temple in Ayodhya ji, his support to Khalistani…

Me, I do. I want my tax dollars to go towards universal healthcare, permanently affordable housing, free public (higher) education. I do not want my tax dollars to subsidize already profitable corporations, war and the Pentagon who cannot even pass an audit.
Socialism is the ideology of greed and envy
Billionaires be like, "increasing my taxes by two percent would be ruinous for me so I am going to spend $25M to make sure that doesn't happen."
Inside the well-funded, likely doomed plan to stop Zohran Mamdani. A lot of donors are not behaving rationally, one operative said. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Batya with another historic feat in misreading the political landscape.
There are two populisms in America: The Right’s is built on a love of America and the belief that work provides dignity. The Left’s is built on the view that America is not worth fighting for and work is humiliating and exploitative and should be done by illegal migrants.
Hay algo llamado sanciones económicas. Te daré un ejemplo para ver si lo entiendes: Vietnam estaba sujeto a un embargo y, como resultado, era uno de los países más pobres del mundo, pero cuando se levantó el embargo, la economía vietnamita comenzó a prosperar.
Una cosa que no pueden explicar los muchachos petristas es por qué en los países donde más "derechos" han conquistado los trabajadores, como Cuba o Venezuela, precisamente, sus ingresos son los más precarios del continente.
Una pregunta: La Silla Vacía siempre fue así de malo o realmente la calidad de su periodismo ha decaído en los últimos años?
3⃣Según González, la fuente principal de la historia parece ser la Presidencia. Y existe el riesgo de que los audios, que fueron editados, sea una herramienta dentro de una "manipulación posible por parte del poder sobre el periodista". 👇👇
Trump is imposing sanctions on Brazil via tariffs just bc Lula refused to kow tow to his outlandish demands. Brazil has an independent judiciary, Bolsonaro attempted a coup, & it is not the business of the Trump administration to dictate to another country how to run their govt.
President Donald Trump’s unexpected move to threaten a 50% tariff on Brazil risks roiling global commodity markets, disrupting trade on everything from beef to coffee bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Mr Rubio, with this post you have sealed your legacy as an enemy of international law and basic human decency. History will judge you harshly. In the meantime-, the rest of us are standing with Francesca Albanese, a tireless servant of minimum ethical standards.
Today I am imposing sanctions on UN Human Rights Council Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt @IntlCrimCourt action against U.S. and Israeli officials, companies, and executives. Albanese’s campaign of political and economic…
Would it really be the FP if they couldn't reverse or contradict their position in the second half of the same sentence?
