Our government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Not corporations. It's time to overturn Citizens United and put power back in the hands of the people!

Cancel your Paramount plus subscription today it’s the one thing they’re afraid of and it will harm their attempt to buy WB / CNN
It’s interesting that the administration wants you to know that Bari Weiss is in league with them.

It is terrible. And I suspect, one of the many reasons for the decline in educated Americans. Everyone gets a participation award.
1. This is terrible.
2. This is such a BS claim from a university: “We are committed to teaching students how to think, not what to think.” No! We do, in fact, commit to teaching you what to think. You sign up for a psych course, you have to learn psychology. You can ignore it later if you choose.

The CBS of old no longer exists.
WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

It’s so important to have independent agencies that operate without political interference. The BLS and the Fed are supposed to be the gatekeepers of data and decision making that informs the steering of our economic ship. Without independence, we may be heading straight for the iceberg.

While racism from the right is more blatant, it’s just as prevalent on the left.
Black voters are the “BlueMAGA neoliberal centrist bootlicking corporate shills” & Black politicians don’t receive recognition for their accomplishments, are held to a higher standard & expected to risk arrest.
