Tax the Rich - European Citizens' Initiative
  • Yes. That's the point.

    The whole continent just pivoted Right, and thusly endeavours like this one are dead on arrival.

  • Tax the Rich - European Citizens' Initiative
  • It's a collective “you”. Europe went all-in on Right- parties, and squaring that with "tax the rich" is challenging.

  • Tax the Rich - European Citizens' Initiative
  • If this is something you want, you shouldn't be voting for right-wingers, then, should you?

  • Alberta School Boards are Cutting Hundreds of Teaching Positions Next Year, Teachers’ Association Says
  • Student enrollment and class sizes will meanwhile continue to increase, with the ATA’s data indicating 26,000 additional students are expected to enroll next year compared to last year.

    "Public education just doesn't work, we need agile, market-based solutions run by our donors and not using union labour. Here's block grants for private schools that just coincidentally are run by our friends and/or right-wing religious groups we're using at patsies. They're agile and market based, and don't have to worry about pesky things like standards or equality. But don't worry, we'll keep the overstressed, underfunded public system for you losers that can't afford anything better."

  • BBC Censors Non-Binary Mention In Transformers Earthspark Cartoon
  • So, robots blasting each other in the face, body horror and reckless child endangerment is "meh, whatevs?" but this gets censored.

    Oookaaay, BBC.

    On a side note, Earthspark is such a neat show. The sound and visual design is fantastic, the voicework is top notch and the animation is really well done. There's a series one episode where the Seekers are attacking Prime and Megatron and it's just pure visual poetry.

  • Rate of older adults losing secure housing is on the rise.
  • I'm afraid that homelessness is going to follow the path of addiction: that it won't even be recognized until white ex-urban people are affected by it, and even then the measures that will put in place will be too little, too late and too worried about the cost on the rich to do much for the poor.

  • ‘It’s going to be tight’: Macron’s centrists struggle to deter voters from backing far right
  • Gee, maybe you should have spent more time improving the lot of everyday people and less time playing footsie with billionaires?

    A lot of neoliberal erstwhile-progressives are about to find out the consequences of selling out their principles for a seat at the rich kids' table.

    Most of Europe's already found this out, Biden and Trudeau are looking at the same thing, and I expect Starmer will be out on his ass after four years of failing to help the poor and middle class, as he's so busy right now assuring everyone that he's not a socialist like Corbyn.

  • Tractor Supply slashes its DEI and climate goals after a right-wing pressure campaign
  • All those gains that were made in the 2010s? We're at real risk of losing them as corporations try and triangulate their way to maximum revenue.

    After Anheueser Busch welched, the right smelled blood in the water.

    The progressive left is going to need to fight very hard and make a lot of allies because we're so very close to snapping back to the 1990s, if not the 1950s.

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • How much of this is decline at the expense of Windows 11, due to Steam lowering barriers to entry, fatigue with Windows' hard selling, and/or extending the useful like of hardware that W11 abandoned.
