There is something deeply wrong with trying to kill a person twice, then sending her to a hospital for life saving measures so that they can try to kill her again.

AN EVENING READ — Organizer Rocio Garcia said it’s incomprehensible to see these 29 alderpeople continue to ignore the overwhelming amount of Chicagoans who want to tax the rich. Here's the list of demands going into this FY27 budget season. thetriibe.com/2026/09/what...

What Chicago’s grassroots organizers want the FY27 budget to do for working people • The TRiiBE
The People’s Unity Platform says its FY2027 demands are rooted in years of listening sessions, door-knocking and organizing around what Black and brown working-class communities need from City Hall.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

It's really crucial to remember that a "gas tax holiday" means starving states of revenue. That means fewer resources for public needs. Who do you think wins in a fight between funding for preschools and highways?

Art is time travel. It allows you to communicate emotionally with people across time and space. It’s very simply not art without connection with another human being.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

This economy specifically stinks for poorer people, minorities, people in the arts/nonprofit space/government and dems seem unlikely to rebuild what has been broken over the last decade. it is all “muh institutions” until they need to fix the institutions.

A big reason that employers can treat their employees like shit and generally get away with it is because America has companies doing things that should be the role of a government(providing health insurance, short term disability, family leave etc) and calling them benefits/perks.

i point this out not so much because i think it's surprising but more to underscore how there is a modern "intellectual tradition" in this country that provides the scaffolding for their ideas even if it's dumb as hell. it makes sense to people inside the machine and that's what matters to them

Very alarming moment in Netflix's Wonka's Golden Ticket reality competition show, in which the AI Gene Wilder narrating the games went rogue and started crooning With These Hands -- Tom Jones to the most attractive Latina contestant? It was already in poor taste but this is beyond.

If you try to take a free ride on, say, public transit in New York City, you’ll get in trouble with the law. If your mode of transportation is a private jet, on the other hand, there’s a high risk you...

"Most of the increase in socialism’s positive rating through 2025 reflected increasingly positive views among Democrats, rising from 50% in 2010 to 66% last year. The latest uptick, however, comes entirely from political independents."

Socialism's Positive Rating Tops 40% for First Time
Socialism's appeal is at a new high, but it remains less popular than capitalism and well below free enterprise.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.
