The BS of college sports:

"These schools aren’t broke. They’re just wildly irresponsible spenders."

Schools are clamoring for a way to control student athlete payments. We've yet to hear about coach contracts, of course.

How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs

U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

Happy Birthday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
As a water protector at Standing Rock in 2016, her experience protesting against DAPL led to her wanting to do something more. In 2018, at age 29, AOC became the youngest woman to be elected to Congress. She serves the New York 14th congressional district.

Trump has been inciting violence against Democrats for years.

His goal is to instigate a civil war and genocide.

Fascism is eliminationism.

“Make America great again” means “Eliminate all Democrats.”

Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america
