“What the fuck is wrong with us, as a species?!” - Mike Figueredo, The Humanist Report

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Think about this: A retired game show host may end the world as we know it. Only a master satirist could write this scenario, but Mark Twain is dead.

Can America Handle a $30 Minimum Wage? As the affordability crisis accelerates, workers around the country are pushing for minimum wage hikes that make the Fight for $15 look tame.

Edward R. Murrow famously used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

We need more journalists holding the powerful accountable like this.

If Birthright Citizenship Falls–The American Experiment Fails On April 1 the ACLU is going to the Supreme Court to defend the Constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship–here is what you need to know

My father came to the U.S. with $30 and a belief that your worth isn’t defined by where you’re born, but by what you build.

That promise is under attack. On April 1, SCOTUS will hear a case challenging birthright citizenship—putting countless families at risk.

Sometimes I’ll wake up and I wonder how I even made it through the night.

Trump threatened Iran's energy sites. Iran then threatened US allies’ energy sites and warned it would completely close the Strait of Hormuz. And Trump backed down.

Consciously practice universal empathy.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
