Humanity's self annihilating drives are very manifest in the unprecedented acceleration of change in the last 200 years.

There is no such thing as objectivity, and the truth, that slippery little bugger, has the oddest habit of being way to hell off on one side or the other: it seldom nestles neatly halfway between any two opposing points of view. The smug complacency of much of the press—I have heard many an editor say, “Well, we’re being attacked by both sides so we must be right”—stems from the curious notion that if you get a quote from both sides, preferably in an official position, you’ve done the job. In the first place, most stories aren’t twosided, they’re 17-sided at least. In the second place, it’s of no help to either the readers or the truth to quote one side saying, “Cat,” and the other side saying “Dog,” while the truth is there’s an elephant crashing around out there in the bushes."

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Many on the far-right believe we’re going too far when we call this administration a fascist regime. But we’re simply watching its actions & speaking the truth of what they’re doing.

Decide for yourself. Look at what they’ve done & how it matches up to fascism.

Felon/GOP’s politically motivated military occupation, like what you would expect from a hostile enemy nation, is an ATTACK on USA prosperity! Blue states/cities are the economic engine, providing the MAJORITY of funding for red states/cities! Crime rates are higher in red states/cities/rural areas!

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

Imagine, christians accusing others of a fraud scheme.

The Trump-worshipping state of Alabama has a homicide rate that’s 3 times higher than the rate in New York City. But you never hear Trump talking about the crime crisis in Alabama.
