[ad_1] We’re basically ruled by emotional toddlers who never learned to rein in their egos. They’re trying to control the planet in the same way they tried to control their access to toys and candy when they were small. Reading by Tim Foley: Humans create empires for the same reason they create egos. It’s all about the impulse to control. We come into this world boundless and free with eyes full of wonder, but within a few years our minds create and solidify a sense of self around which our mental lives revolve. We do this because we are helpless…

[ad_1] The sanctioning of German journalist Hüseyin Dogru establishes a new precedent in the West’s repression of anti-imperialist speech. Chris Hedges The war on information in the West has tread new grounds since the genocide in Palestine. Journalists and media outlets who report on the imperialist endeavors of the ruling class increasingly find themselves under the boot of legislators who concoct fascist legislation to act as imperial henchmen.

Skies roiled over Washington, DC, during June 2015, one of the wettest Junes on record to date, with thunderstorms, street flooding, hail, tornadoes, and winds that toppled trees. Weathermen forecast which way the wind would blow from the remnants of Tropical Storm Bill, now moving up from Guatemala. Meanwhile, a six-day…

[ad_1] Austin Sarat Melat Kiros, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Brad Lander and Claire Valdez, are hardly household names. But if President Trump and his MAGA allies have their way they will soon be. Kiros who won the Democratic nomination for Congress and the other three who prevailed in Democratic congressional primaries in New York are all Democratic Socialists and to hear what the president says, their victories signal the takeover of the party by “communists.” Others in the Republican Party are amplifying that message in the hope of making the Democratic brand even more toxic than it already is.

[ad_1] In a recent New York Times op-ed, the senior socialist senator from Vermont argued that artificial intelligence was “built on our collective intelligence”—our “books, songs, artwork, journalism, computer code, scientific research, videos, conversations, images and ideas spanning generations.” The most important question, he said, is not whether AI will change the world but “who will own and control that future.” He proposed a one-time 50 percent tax on the largest AI companies, to be paid in shares held by a government-run sovereign wealth fund.
