When did being a vegetarian become a rage inducing liability and go-to insult? The right treats it like a moral failing. Corruption, domestic abuse, child sexual abuse, and down right thievery seem to be more acceptable to them then choosing not to eat animals. It's weird.

Microsoft has laid off over 5,000 workers since July. Its CEO made $96.5M in 2025, a 22% increase from the previous year. Microsoft made $101B in net income last year — and raked in up to $12.5B in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill. This is what a rigged system looks like.

"Much of them in urban areas ..." where most of the blue votes are. There must be a reason they keep accusing Dems of cheating in elections ... like maybe projection and a guilty conscience?

Tommy Tuberville spent nearly 20 minutes on the Senate floor demonizing trans people and ranting about flight attendants being “furries.” Because talking about that is a hell of a lot easier than explaining $6+ diesel while farmers are getting crushed by record fuel costs.

Income growth has changed radically in the past thirty years. Who do you think it’s benefitted the most? (Hint: It’s not the bottom 99% of us.) My course Wealth & Poverty discusses how our economy evolved into a system that overwhelmingly benefits the wealthy.

Our target is Russia’s ability to finance this war, to drag it out, to make it more brutal & destructive. Russia’s finances & Russia’s production are what must be stopped if Putin is to be stopped”
