Extreme capitalism, US
Bernie Sanders condemns the US economic system of extreme capitalism
as little better than indentured servitude, saying that many US

choose a
different master.

Abortion rights, mifepristone
Several Democratic states have sued the FDA demanding an end to the
restrictions on buying mifepristone.
I basically agree, but all depends on the bizarre Republican lawsuit
that they filed before a judge who is a trumpet,
in a state in the 5th circuit
which is full of biased right-wing judges too.
The suit offers that judge a chance to try to ban mifepristone nationwide,
To fix this could require massive civil disobedience.

US Constitutional amendment to end Corporations United
A proposed constitutional amendment would
reverse the Corporations United
decision
that allowed corporations to donate ad lib to political campaigns.
I hope to see a fuller description so I can see how this compares
to the amendments previously proposed.

Putin war tactic, disinformation
Putin put children and teenagers from Mariupol on TV so they
could thank a Putin forces soldier for
"rescuing them"
… from
the devastating shelling by the Putin forces.
They didn't put 2 and 2 together in the TV presentation, and didn't
mention the relatives that were killed by the Putin forces in
Mariupol.
It is possible that they were speaking honesty when on TV — that they had
been taught to forget how their "saviors" intentionally caused the danger
they were "saved" from.
Putin's disinformationists persistently misrepresent the situation. I
expect that some will refer to the "gratitude" of Ukrainians "saved"
from Mariupol, citing this TV program as "proof".

Anti-mask, NYT piece
The New York Times published an
"opinion" article that attacks masks
by misrepresenting the conclusions of a medical study.
Apparently the Times skipped the fact-checking on that article.

NPR funding cutbacks
National Public Radio runs mostly on funds from corporations rather
than public funds. Lately corporations have preferred to put their
money into stock buybacks, so they are donating less and buying less
advertising, which is causing
big cutbacks at NPR.
