They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

There really is no such thing as race. We all came from Africa. We are all of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

"Star Trek is too political now"

Bro we had a black lady and a RUSSIAN serving on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 60s. Pretty fuckin political then.

First interracial kiss, too. First lesbian kiss in the 90s in DS9. Several races of aliens that don't adhere to a gender binary-- need I go on?

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:

Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.

I've told my family to stay away.

Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙

Hezbollah exists as a DIRECT result of Israeli violence in Lebanon. Literally.

They formed in 1982 following Israel's invasion and occupation. They drove the IDF out of southern Lebanon in 2000.

Western news media defiantly fails to report these facts. #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Tesla. Disney. CVS Health. United Airlines. PayPal. Billions in profits. $0 in federal corporate income taxes.
That money should be funding schools, healthcare, and public services.
This is why people are mad as hell.

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail.

An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.

BREAKING: We just won our antitrust trial against LiveNation and Ticketmaster.

Live Nation has raked in billions in profits from an illegal monopoly that coerces venues, restricts artists, and exploits fans.

This is a massive win in the fight for fairness for local venues, artists, and fans.

Mark Rufalo warns Congress against the Paramount-WBD merger:

"You don't have to watch 'Citizen Kane' or read '1984' to understand that the concentrated oligarchic control this merger represents is a threat to a free press, an informed populace & democracy itself."

I have read so much work like this, but this might be the single most painful one because, well, everything is local.

I drive through Florin often (It's now South Sacramento), SF is where my mom lives, his dad was my age when

The Epstein files really show us that we've been underestimating how much men hate women and children.

Marijuana Activist Group Asks People To Share Their Arrest Stories To Show The ‘True Impact’ Of Criminalization As the unofficial marijuana holiday know as 4/20 approaches, a leading pro-legalization organization is asking people to share their personal stories about being arrested for cannabis, saying that doing so can help shine a spotlight on "the true impact of the ongoing scourge of prohibition." The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) said in an email alert to its supporters that the organization is preparing to release a new report on cannabis arrests and that it is "vitally important" that the document not just compile raw data on enforcement but also "include the real human stories that illustrate the harmful impact that prohibition and criminalization have on individuals, families, and communities."

Marijuana Activist Group Asks People To Share Their Arrest Stories To Show The 'True Impact' Of Criminalization: "While cannabis arrests have been in decline nationally in recent years, there are still more than 200,000 arrests every year."

It is a profound irony when the nation under attack feels more empathy for the attacker's citizens than the attacking government itself.

ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart

ICE Arrests 85-Year-Old French Widow Who Married Her G.I. Sweetheart

After Marie-Thérèse Ross-Mahé’s husband died, an inheritance battle exploded. Her stepson then used his influence to have her arrested by ICE, an Alabama probate judge said.

And why did Pope Leo put a Muslim prayer room in the Vatican?! Fr. Chris Vonderbruggen I can’t imagine why this has to be answered again, but here goes. Because there are Islamic scholars who professionally use the library. Muslims pray five times a day on a very strict schedule. They do not just pray sitting down quietly. They have physical gestures to do and words that need to be spoken out loud. The scholars asked if there would be a room that they could go to where they could privately do their thing without interrupting any of the other library patrons. The Vatican said yes, and provided them with a small space.

Trump just lied that Epstein survivors refuse to go under oath and lied that Pope said Iran can have a nuclear weapon

And nobody will bat an eye
