The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

The families care not at all about this irrelevant ruling which affects only two of the 19 claims they all share. Jones still faces over a billion dollars of liability, so this changes absolutely nothing. All it does is highlight the absurdity of Texas law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

Nina Simone spent her entire career proving that refusing to compromise usually costs something real, and she paid that price without apology.

2. How can you be part of a political party that thinks that hiding the historical fact of these murders by erasing these truths from historical markers and textbooks, and think you aren't just aiding and abetting these hateful momsters? I just don't get how you mentally square those circles.

Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to, which he used to inflate its stock price and cash out before the stock tanked. But his opponent is a Democrat. Our rating: Lean Republican.

Given that the poem is anachronistic itself, and that making a "historically accurate" version is literally impossible (not to mention the sea monsters, cyclops, sirens, and witches), this is pretty standard Elon. Insist his tech can do something entirely impossible with no definition of success.

The cover by Violent Femmes was their revenge because Tom had to back out of producing an album with them. At least, according to the liner notes from "Step Right Up: The Songs of Tom Waits" which has some amazing covers.

This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?
