Capitalism has nothing to do with democracy. In fact, capitalism functions best when democracy cannot interfere.
That’s why — putting their dishonest and misleading rhetoric aside — capitalists *always* oppose democracy and will seek to shut it down. They’ll keep up the pretense, waving a flag of freedom 🇺🇸 while in reality disabling democratic processes and choking freedom out of existence.
It is one thing to take inspiration from ancient religious texts.
It is a completely different thing to take them literally.
If the authors of those texts had known what we know today about physics, cosmology and evolution their messaging would likely have been quite different.
We live on a rare, small planet in the habitable zone of a stable star.
We are part of nature and have an extended family of millions of species.
All we need to do, is fit in.

Did Trump Hire the Wrong Blanche?
Streetcar siren DuBois would know best how to rely on the kindness of the strangers in the jury.
Imagine if we could spend two and a half TRILLION dollars to slow climate change, protect endangered species, re-wild the planet, and bring billions of people out of poverty while promoting equality and social justice.
But where could we possibly find that kind of money? 💵 💵 💵

#Pay to stay: #Florida inmates charged for #prison cells long after incarceration
Not only can the state bill an inmate the $50 a day even after they are released, Florida can also impose a new bill on the next occupant of that bed, potentially allowing the state to double, triple, or quadruple charge for the same bed.

The SNP has ended the coalition with the Scottish Green Party. This leaves @thesnp as a minority administration at Holyrood.
There is some talk - only talk at the moment - of Humza Yusaf resigning as SNP leader.
Either way it's chaos at Holyrood with doubts over the continuation of the SNP government in its current form.
Time for a vote of no confidence in the SNP administration in my opinion.

Speaker Mike Johnson is drawing closer to a career-defining choice for a Republican speaker — whether to rely on Democratic help to stay in the job.
With three Republicans endorsing a motion to terminate his leadership, Johnson will need Democratic support to survive if Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) follows through on her threat to force a vote on his removal.
