Rent and groceries are too high, and the amount people make is too low.

Talk to your coworkers about how much you all make, talk about the issues you are facing financially, these things are not shameful.

Working class Americans from all backgrounds must stick together.

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.

I’m so glad I have divested from legacy media because I would be enraged all the time.

Everyone could use a good scare, but sometimes you don’t want to jump headlong into the hard stuﬀ. Matt Goldberg suggests some PG-13 horror ﬁlms that provide a useful bridge into the genre—without the R-rated material. boxd.it/2LG

Here’s an example of what happens when the unregulated supplement industry meets the multi-billion dollar fitness/wellness market - high levels of lead in widely-used protein powders.

You’d think 🧠🪱’s MAHA movement would want the FDA to do something about that…

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.
