If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. And we certainly wouldn't have public executions. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It's about cruelty.

Not just how we are now. Our history is rife with public executions. Our roots in cruelty are deep.

So when Meta says it's investing a billion dollars into a town where it's building a data center, check to see where that money is actually going. And also compare to the costs to the local community near the data center. Meta is not being generous....

Money the Trump family has extorted during his Presidency should be used to tear down anything built & then named for him, to remove his name from existing buildings, to raze the ballroom to the ground, to get rid of the gaudy gold he's pasted everywhere, & to fix other vandalism he's committed.

Derailing the midterms is the point, isn't it? They fear a blue wave and will do everything, anything to ensure power stays in (blood) red hands.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured nearly $670 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, who died of brain cancer at 47, was the recipient of the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the 2026 ESPYS. Here is the video essay (narrated by Colman Domingo) and the speech from his twin brother, Jarron Collins ❤️😭

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
