Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

If you have ever read a book to a baby, you will realize it's not a linear experience. The baby wants to turn pages backward, wants to ask questions (if they're old enough), wants to examine the pages and get really excited if they can say "bear!" even if the word "bear!" is not on the page.

i write a lot of stories about musk for @dailykos.com and i take pointing this out about him very seriously. we are just a small outlet though and most of the media won't do this.

The Trump administration has once again put racist billionaire Elon Musk in a position of influence over U.S. policy, this time at the Defense Department.

Multibillionaire and bigoted conspiracy theorist Elon Musk spent millions to support Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign—even endorsing him at a cringeworthy campaign rally.

Elon has used his prominent role to say and do an almost immeasurable number of offensive, inept, bigoted things—and it isn’t journalists’ fault for reporting on them.

It was his own choice to make a Nazi salute while celebrating President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.

Nobody in the media caused his company to release an AI chatbot that refers to itself as “MechaHitler” and creates nonconsensual sexualized images of people, including children.

Republicans hoping to hold on to the party’s electoral majorities are expressing concerns that racist billionaire Elon Musk’s role in financing the GOP might backfire.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.
