I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

I know Greta Thunberg said the story isn't about her.

But it's really important she speaks out and tells exactly what abuse she received.

When the world sees what Israel is capable of doing to her, they will know the horrors they inflict on Palestinians are all true.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

The return of ‘Reading Rainbow’ on YouTube is what the country needs www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
Opinion | ‘Reading Rainbow’ returns to a country far more hostile to books — and diversity
"Reading Rainbow" returns after 19 years and, fittingly, lands a day before 2025's "Banned Books Week."

They tortured and imprisoned Nelson Mandela too.

But they never beat him.

The Chancellor should protect workers’ pay packets and level the playing field on how different forms of income are taxed.

As things stand, wages (and some dividends) are taxed more heavily than many other sources of income.

A peerage can only be removed by an act of parliament. The last time that happened was in 1917.

Our House of Lords is completely unfit for purpose, and the likes of "Lady Mone" can keep her position for life without consequences.
