You'd have a lot of volunteers, George!

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

What the country really needs is mandatory mental-health screening for presidential candidates and nominees for cabinet posts. Like, stat.

Tyler Robinson will be out of the news by Monday.

Right wing which dominates media and politics and power is already gaslighting their audience and still blaming "the left."

You can't shame shameless people who are committed to an extremist authoritarian project.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

Things are so fucked up that the only way to get wounded Palestinian children in and out of the United States for medical treatment these days would be to disguise them as Israeli pedophiles.

The Invention of “Sesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

So let me see if understand how things work here in the United States. If you inconvenience a police officer with a harmless sandwich, you face jail time, but if you rape children and extort money from colleges, law firms, and corporations, you get a free $400,000,000 jet?
