My teenage son gets into violent fights at school. We're always at the principal's office. One of the girls he beat up was hospitalized. He gets $75/mo allowance. He wants $10 on top of this for brass knuckles. We agreed but stipulated he can only use one hand/fist to bully. Will this "rein" him in?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Grocery prices HIGHER under Trump.

(Reality is even worse than graphic given corporations are temporarily eating tariff costs).

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The perfect encapsulation of Politico.

"Of course the White House is lying, but it's a pretty savvy lie, so let's see how it plays?"

It's all a fun little game with no stakes to them. It's like they're recapping episodes of Real Housewives.

Can we agree baseball isn’t all about analytics? Chemistry and team spirit used to matter. Mets season is an example of percentages and payrolls not = wins. Keep a player like David Robertson who wanted more than anything to stay w/ the Mets. Keep Iglesias. Butto. Low cost, big heart. #lgm #metssky
