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.

"'Wokeness'—in an idealized form—is an argument for guardrails against unrestrained domination by the most powerful forces in society." Doesn't sound so bad right about now, does it?

BTW, I know it's just the Virginia Supreme Court, but their overruling of the redistricting action in Virginia (based on procedural timing, not on the map) made a great case in favor of "early voting" -- including old-timey flexibility as to the day of the election. cardinalnews.org/2026/05/12/d...

Democrats have missed a key point in Supreme Court ruling: It lays out how early voting is an American tradition
Legal circumstances forced Democrats to argue that early voting wasn’t part of the election. The court, in a conservative ruling, details how the roots of early voting go back to Colonial tim…

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note
"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope."

Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war.

A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic.

Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope.
