Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

A command line diagnostic tool that traces any process, port, container, or file back to the exact chain that started and explains why is running in your system, not only that it exists

Very important concept. An additional reason why the WHCA dinner was grotesque and the harms of journalists and news orgs normalizing and democracy-washing the fascist MAGA movement From our pro-democracy election coverage recommendations:

Journalists can defend democracy. Make threats to democracy clear! • Inform voters of the freedoms they will lose if the MAGA movement wins. • Abandon false equivalence between traditional and fascistic candidates. • Expose candidates who foment political violence. • Call out lies and bad behavior in every piece of reporting. • Prominently cover the Big Lie-fueled attack on election legitimacy and voting rights. We're demanding that newsrooms improve their 2024 election coverage: tiny.cc/prodemocracy2024 MEDIA

Important corollary: people are LESS likely to support authoritarian leaders if people around them don't. This is where "social proof" comes in. Be vocal and visible to social circles and neighbors about your resistance against authoritarians AND your support of pro-democracy candidates and causes

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Trump's $4 billion Presidential windfall is unprecedented in scale & source. Obama's wealth grew from royalties from books written before office, and Bush's largely came from a sports‑team stake from over a decade prior. Trump's new billions are from deals made in office.

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

Warning! ⚠️ Things are going to be bad this midterm election. The Trump administration has fired the remaining commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the independent bipartisan agency without any sitting commissioners.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

A personalized vaccine for melanoma cut the risk of cancer returning after five years

If the vaccine is effective in a late-stage trial, it would be “paradigm-shifting,” one expert said.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇
