My 30-something son recently asked how I had become such a passionate supporter of civil rights and social justice.

I thought back to my childhood. It was 1963, I was 12 years old, watching the evening news. I saw dogs

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

It is true that US has some of the top medical specialists, & Canadians sometimes come here for certain procedures. However, the insurance available to low/middle class Americans rarely covers the travel to those specialists' clinics.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Wondering why your utility bills are getting so expensive?

AI could be a big reason why.

AI data centers cost a ton to upkeep, and big tech companies are passing on those costs to local communities.

I'm pressing for answers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

What they forgot to teach us in school: An underground network of thousands of fungi called mycorrhizae allow plants/food to grow by supplying whatever nutrients each plant is requesting. Losing this “bank” of them is another planet-destroying Trump measure.

The redactions make Prince Andrew’s specific involvement unclear, but according to this report, he was present. That alone is damning, but add to the fact his titles were stripped by the royal family for a reason.

Reading this, it’s easy to believe far more than 1,000 girls were victimized by Epstein as it clearly points to an international pedophile ring.

No punishment is too great for a man who would drug and drive his own 6–8-year-old daughter to “pedophile ring parties.”

Sit with this: if this report is accurate, this child was horrifically abused. I wonder whether she’s been able to build any kind of life for herself.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

If you are following the war in Ukraine, this update is critical today. If a freezing of the battle lines occurs as result of the talks between Zelinskii and Trump, control of Pokrovsk will become a bargaining chip in long-term negotiations. Ukraine is fighting brilliantly: youtu.be/NkuQjqRDU2A?...

For years, Affordable Care Act tax credits have helped families afford health insurance.

Republicans in Congress could have acted before Jan. 1 but refused, leaving millions with higher premiums.

But we have another chance on Jan. 6, so tell your rep: VOTE YES!

Guests who saw were told not to call the police or FBI because they would "do nothing." Absolutely true as illustrated by Farmer's case.
If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.
