People live in fear. It is one of our most basic drivers. Thus it is perhaps unsurprising that the concerted effort of the wealthy elite was able to create the second Red Scare after World War 2, and less surprising that people who regularly listen to right wing pundits make socialism into a scary monster that enslaves people under evil dictators and destroys economies talk about socialism this way and wrongly attribute it to corrupt politicians instead of actual socialists.
The truth is that socialism is the next level of economic evolution. From feudalism to slavery to capitalism the structures of power have not significantly changed, only the tools of control have. The wealthy elite are still the wealthy elite and the poor are still peasants.
When we embrace a system that prioritizes everyone's basic needs over a system that prioritizes profit, we will end homelessness- we'll end poverty. And only THEN can we truly work on a system based on justice. Until that time we are simply wrapping plumber's tape around a leaky pipe for the umpteenth time and hoping it holds this time.
Socialism is working in multiple countries and it is lifting people out of poverty, despite the intense efforts of the US to weaken socialist countries. Our government does not want you to know that, and so it spends enormous energy to make socialist countries look like shit holes run by authoritarians. In contrast the US has many more vacant homes than homeless people and is the only place in the industrialized world where medical bankruptcy is a thing.
The censorship of anti-establishment voices needs to stop! This video of Katie Halper, who is employed by Rolling Stone and who has interviewed numerous members of Congress AND who happens to be Jewish, in which she explicitly lays out ways that Israel is an apartheid state got her fired as a contributor to the Hill.

By the way, Wikileaks dropped The Israel Files a few weeks ago, showing that "influential entertainment magnates attempted to whitewash Israeli crimes and present the situation as defending itself from an impending “genocide”, liaised with Israeli military and government officials in order to coordinate their message, attempted to cancel those who spoke out against the injustice, and put financial and social pressure on institutions who hosted artists criticizing the apartheid government’s actions."
It is likely that the US committed a terrorist attack against Germany, by blowing up the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Why would Russia blow it up when they control the on/off switch?

The US said referendums in Donetsk and Lugansk were shams even before voting started and say people are being forced to vote at gunpoint. Is that true? Listen to election observers.

The west says residents of Donetsk and Lugansk were forced to vote to become part of Russia at gunpoint. Were they? Independent journalist Patrick Lancaster interviewed people on the street. Here is a resident of Mariupol, which was destroyed by the Ukrainian military.

In 2019 the US military commissioned a study that found that the US could advance its interests by weakening Russia with proxy wars in Ukraine, Belarus, central Asia and some other areas. A year and a half later, Azerbaijan attacked Armenia and Ukraine signed a military cooperation treaty with NATO and began holding war games off Russia's coast with the United States. Then a couple of months later, there was an uprising in Kazakhstan (in central Asia). A couple months after that the most popular Prime Minister in Pakistani history is ousted by an alleged US-backed candidate. If you can't see how all of this relates to the study, we need to talk.
Shame on for-profit dialysis centers for offering sub-standard care and not maintaining the presence of a doctor, and shame on them for spending millions to advertise against improving care and threatening to close down if they're forced to have a doctor present. Dialysis is a multi-billion dollar industry. This is nothing but an attempt to protect their profits. Disgusting! Our healthcare system is predatory.
How can Gavin Newsom oppose taxing incomes over $2 million to help low income families get electric vehicles and fund charging stations in low income neighborhoods and still call himself a Democrat? Gavin Newsom is an absolute total fraud. The argument against this is that Lyft and Uber, which only connect drivers with people seeking rides, should be buying people cars. For real. Please vote YES on prop 30.
From the Napa Vision 2050 newsletter: "American Canyon has built a stunning gem of wetlands, nature walks and bird preserves in this same area along the waterfront. The popular 500-mile walking and cycling Bay Trail also runs through this area. Life sustaining marshes have been restored. In 2009, Ducks Unlimited organized the funding of a major estuary restoration project. Walking trails and informational kiosks about wildlife and wetlands were added.
These wetlands provide the principal habitat for migrating waterfowl and are critical to overwintering birds along the Pacific Flyway. They also provide spawning and rearing habitat for fish, especially the endangered green sturgeon, whose juveniles are found in the lower reaches of the Napa River. In addition, critical wetlands sequester and store large quantities of carbon in the vegetation and sediment below.
Measure J on the American Canyon ballot threatens all of this impressive restoration and flourishing wildlife."
This is how Joe Biden's occupation forces are stealing 80% of Syria’s daily oil production while he's giving grandiose speeches at the UN about sovereignty and respecting international law.
The United States has sent $3.5 billion that it seized from Afghan families to a Swiss bank, because our government is a crime syndicate. Why should other countries invest in the dollar if they're just going to get their money seized? This is wrong.
Joe Biden, lord of war and death, sewer of lies, installer of puppets and backer of Nazis did what he's famous for at the UN - lying. Here independent journalist Benjamin Norton dissects his speech to the UN.

Vallejoans came together and painted Black Lives Matter on the street in front of city hall on September 24th. It was beautiful to see it happening.
