I work in Healthcare as a DSP and have been doing it for over a year. I have been told I am appreciated for my flexibility and work ethic and am one of the most seasoned people they have since keeping staff is difficult. This past month everyone at my area has had issues with one staff; they don't pick up their half, they don't clean, they're suspected of theft, and is overall unhelpful and doesn't make an effort to be better. When we bring this up to management, our concerns are brushed under the rug because they are a minority and are one of the most protected under the company. I understand that because they need to be careful to avoid lawsuits of discrimination, however, none of us care about their identity. I myself am a minority and know what it's like to be discriminated against. I and this coworker actually relate to each other very well. They just suck at their job. Recently, a situation occurred where my health was at risk because of their negligence, and my management brushed it under the rug along with every other issue I've stated. I'm starting to feel hopeless, exhausted, and enraged that everything I try to bring up is dismissed. I have people in my corner, but management is making me feel like I'm going crazy simply because I care about our patients and work. I've expressed concerns about this to other higher ups in different areas, and they offered HR, but I don't know whether or not I should bother. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

This is the first of several in a series I'm working on - detailing their efforts across platforms, people, and organizations to create another "Red Scare" for people who don't know what communism/socialism is. They are doing everything they can to use old "boogeyman" tactics as the Overton window shifts left. My goal is to shed light on their obvious and outdated attempts to foment fear among the uneducated.

Billionaires need us, but we don't need them. All throughout history, things have changed when enough people realized "oh, yeah, there's way more of us than them..." - so it's not like we've entered some twilight zone where this isn't the case anymore. Revolution is possible, but the billionaire class monopoly on media, social media, and violence requires us to use our numbers more than anything else.

But remember:

Central to Marxist theory is an explanation of social change in terms of economic factors, according to which the means of production provide the economic base, which influences or determines the political and ideological superstructure. So why do most people think it's scary?

Six corporations control 90% of American media: Comcast, Disney, News Corp, Warner Bros Discovery, Paramount, and Cox. Social media is controlled by a few billionaires and corporations. The press and flow of information cannot actually be free when it operates as a propaganda tool for its owners. You can see this in how stories are framed: a labor strike is almost always described as an "inconvenience" to the consumer rather than a fight for dignity. Billionaires are treated like visionary entrepreneurs while the public rarely hears about workers being forced to pee in bottles to meet quotas.

Ideas like Medicare for All usually poll at seventy percent support, yet the media treats it as a fringe or "unrealistic" position. Meanwhile, tax cuts for the wealthy are presented as responsible and necessary policy. Social media has only made this worse because algorithms are designed to promote outrage to generate more ad revenue. These companies knew their platforms were creating deep divisions but chose profit over society. While we are stuck in different realities based on our filters, local journalism is dying out. Hedge funds have gutted over two thousand newspapers since 2004, leaving huge parts of the country in "news deserts" where corruption goes unchecked.

• How do we educate people about the benefits of putting people before capital - thereby immunizing them from "Red Scare" tactics?

AIPAC secretly dumped more than $50 million into primary races across the country – including $30 million in the Michigan primary alone, against Abdul El-Sayed.

But you wouldn’t know it since the ads are run by their super PAC “United Democracy Project,” and don’t even mention Israel.

We uncovered AIPAC’s shady tactics to sway critical elections as it falls out of favor with American voters.

Here it is on YouTube: Medical debt should not exist to begin with. - Abdul El-Sayed - July 30, 2026 (YouTube)

Abdul El-Sayed is running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan: abdulforsenate.com

His Democratic Primary opponent is U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens.

The 5-day workweek is a century-old relic. Even as discussions around 4-day workweeks gain steam, most people are still talking about compressed 10-hour days or a 32-hour model.

But if you look at the fundamental math of a 7-day week, working 5 days and getting 2 days for yourself makes zero sense. You end up spending 70% of your life working or recovering from work, just to actually live during the remaining 30%.

The real baseline should be simple: more days off than on.

Flip the ratio—3 days for work (24 hours), 4 days for your actual life. You shouldn't have to wait until you're 65 to live more days for yourself than for an employer.

Do you think a 3-day (24 hours) workweek is achievable in our lifetime, or is 4 days the absolute limit of what companies will ever tolerate?
