It is entirely possible
that the United Health CEO was killed by a corporate-hired hitman due to the huge lawsuits happening,
Like the Boeing whistleblowers who were killed
and that evidence was planted on Luigi Mangione to frame him.
I dont know- but its possible.

3/ 🔭 Extractivism is a lens through which we can look at capitalism. When we look through that lens we see... violence.

So now we’re in an awkward situation where a lot of centrists agree with Bernie’s basic critiques and recognize the value of the enthusiasm he inspires while also being unwilling to fold themselves within his project because they still want to be the ones directing the agenda.

The last 8 or 9 years have shown that having graduate degrees, Phds, even renowned awards and high professional standing in the academy gives less political insight than it does sophisticated tools to express your views.

Remember that time Joe Biden had 4 years to declare a climate emergency to fast-track urgently needed action, and didn't do it. And then Trump just made up an energy emergency on Day 1 to fast-track oil & gas projects we didn't need at all? That was cool. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

Democrat voters made a conscious choice to ignore the suffering of the Palestinian people because they thought it would ensure Kamala Harris' victory. Instead, it did the opposite.
Now they're lashing out at the people who refused to vote for genocide. It's ugly to watch.

This story is absolutely fucking insane in the most exemplary way.
Mordechai Brafman, 27, tried to kill two strangers he happened to see because he thought they were Palestinian. Turns out they were a father and son visiting from Israel nbcmiami.com/news/local/man-…

Biden never had to end the student loan repayment pause; he did so because he wanted to. This decision threw millions of borrowers into financial distress:

ALT Restarting student loan payments forced millions more borrowers into financial distress. This red line graph shows that before the repayment pause, 51% of borrowers had difficulty paying household bills. This figure dropped during the March 2020 through September 2023 pause. In 2024, the figure is 61%. Data: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Student loan repayments paused in March 2020, restarted in October 2023 (after CFPB collected its 2023 data).

Loads of high profile experts spent a long time reassuring people that the virus that causes covid can't persistently infect your body and paper after paper keeps proving them wrong and now they've gone all quiet

1/6 It was an absolute pleasure to co-edit this special edition of Lumpen journal in collaboration with the Class Work Project. Centred around the theme of the just transition, it features writers from across the Global North and Global South...

Not a surprise to anyone who was paying attention (and in my case writing about it in 21-22). I think a lot of liberal econ discourse reaction is driven by fundamental snobbery and paternalism about the working class

For the record: the Democratic establishment greeted Adams’ mayoral election with elation, as a triumph of black law-and-order centrism and a popular rebuke to the left. The left responded that in fact Adams was a freakish and unhinged black Democratic Donald Trump.
