Tom Morello was right.
And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era.
It is time to organize.

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.

Stargate is a good reminder that, when we talk about the political right in Silicon Valley, we don't talk enough about Larry Ellison. He's been out here flaunting his brash style of right-wing misogyny since the 1980s. He walked so Elon could run.

As Trump touts the $500 billion Stargate plan as "the largest AI infrastructure project by far in history," we take a look at the man behind the UAE wealth fund who is joining hands with OpenAI, Softbank and others to make it happen.

He controls a $1.5 trillion fortune—and wants to dominate AI:
