New technologies increase productivity, but you don't get a shorter work day. Lifespans increase, but the retirement age gets pushed back. Under capitalism, every advancement just leads to further exploitation.

America’s 706 biggest corporations paid an average federal tax rate of just 10.4% on $1.88 trillion in US profits last year, per the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
That’s the lowest rate in more than 40 years of the group’s research, below even the 11.2% after Reagan’s tax cuts in 1982, and less than half the official 21% rate.
114 of the companies paid nothing at all, including Tesla, Disney, CVS, Citigroup, United Airlines and DoorDash.

Scott Colom will defeat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in a major upset to become the first Democrat that voters in deep-red Mississippi have elected to the chamber in more than four decades, CNN projects. cnn.it/4iEnxUo

Here are the 11 Democrats who couldn’t be bothered to show up to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth:
Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
Haley Stevens (MI-11)
Julia Brownley (CA-26)
Lou Correa (CA-46)
Laura Gillen (NY-4)
Steven Horsford (NV-4)
Jonathan Jackson (IL-1)
Brittany Pettersen (CO-7)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-1)
Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Frederica Wilson (FL-24)
If these 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would’ve been impeached 215-211.
There are no excuses left to make. The Democrats couldn’t even show up to hold a war criminal accountable who bombed an elementary school and mass murdered children.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.
Another Kevin Stefanski disasterclass this season, who will we throw under the bus this time?
Bijan is a no go, arguably the best in the game. Penix is a convenient scapegoat but coming off injury. Maybe the defense?

Mississippi used CREDIT reports to determine who is an active voter! Anyone who doesn’t have a credit card was listed as an INACTIVE VOTER!
There’s NO CONNECTION between using credit cards and voting! Many registered active voters had to fill out PROVISIONAL BALLOTS!
What an amazingly thoughtful and strategic response to the most important question facing the Dems for the next generation…he’s not wrong one bit!
Leading the last uncalled Senate race in the South by 2,574 votes, Mississippi's Scott Colom was asked on live television whether he would back Chuck Schumer to lead the new majority. He answered with a map. WATCH

One of the most eloquent and easily put answers to a question that so many of us have turned our ears away from for too long
At the same time, and on a less serious note, someone get in touch with the Senator-elect about that tie-knot 😟
MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them?
Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.

I am a scholar in the failed post civil war reconstruction, and I did my masters thesis on the damage that failure and unaccountable conservatives have done to this country for the last 150yrs to this day, and we are on a precipice here again. America must stop allowing capitalism to preclude democracy, and hold the robber barons, racists, murderers, and corrupt politicians accountable, or this “revolutionary” election doesn’t mean shit.

If you govern like Obama (no punishment for Bush admin war criminals/Wall Street), you get a Trump. If you govern like Biden (no punishment for officials complicit in J6), you get Trump again. UPHOLD THE LAW. QUIT LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING

Wow. This is amazing!
The incoming House Oversight Committee chairman @RobertGarcia just outlined the four main investigations that Democrats will be opening when they take back the house in January.
It’s about time!!

The Mississippi Senate race is an extraordinary story. If you dig up the history between the two Scott Colom (Dem) vs Cindy Hyde (GOP). This guy Colom was minding his own business and was on track to be a district judge (local bi partisan choice btw) under Biden.
But Hyde Smith the current Senator wouldn't give her approval, she blocked Colom's nomination and that was the end of his district judge path. So last year Colom decided to run against Hyde Smith. He is within striking distance of becoming the first black Senator for Mississippi since 1871, and the first Dem Senator since 1989.
Extraordinarily, Scott Colom is on track to win the uncalled Senate race in Mississippi (the last margin I saw was 39 votes but the remaining count favours him, as Kornacki shows in this clip).
Colom is a black attorney who ran on a "Common Sense" economic-populist platform aimed at daily life: gas, groceries, healthcare and closing hospitals, plus Medicaid expansion. He won many switchers, and the Republican vote collapsed. That’s how a race which was classed likely or safe Republican until the final week was flipped.
This will turn out to be a more than ten-point swing in a poor red state in the Deep South. Swing voters are more volatile than ever, especially when they’re economically hard pressed. They respond to common sense, and they’ve decided Trump and the Republicans are not on their side.
Fierce attacks on Colom’s socially liberal track record on some issues didn’t dent him. He said he was Christian and has always been “pro-life”, but that he would trust his daughters to make their own decisions.

For 18 years, corporate media effectively banned the few of us who dared to utter this lesson about Obama turning hope and change into more of the same.
I am glad @corbintrent said it - and that it is finally allowed to be uttered in corporate media.
