I am proudly progressive. I am here because I hope this platform allows respectful conversation and sharing minus the hate and lies on monopolies like Meta and X.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

U.S. Marines killed 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq, and documented the aftermath. For years, the military tried to keep the photos from the public.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

They’re not ignoring entrepreneurs. They see them as insignificant competition. They want to eliminate them or absorb them. They don’t see strength in a collective. They see strength in being the biggest and most dominant. I mean, just look at the abomination on wheels Musk designed with crayons.

“The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist,” she told me. “Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.”

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

Senator Cory Booker is showing America what real leadership looks like: genuine heart, fierce compassion, relentless dedication, and brilliant integrity. He's teaching a masterclass in humanity—and making history while he's at it. America, take notes. THIS is how it's done. Love him. #CoryBooker

Once Cory Booker is done, another senator should step up and read the transcript of Cory Booker’s speech into the record.

They now admit they messed up

And are refusing to figure out a way to get him back

Senator Booker: I will not stand for another American to lose their healthcare for a billionaire. (…) for another veteran who’s dedicated to stopping the suicide of other veterans to lose their job. (…) for the air quality in my community to be worse because they’re letting polluters pollute more.
