The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

I wrote about George Santos. Then he made a violent threat and lied about it

NPR reported on new federal investigations examining the former Congressman's bets on the prediction market site Kalshi. Then he threatened the NPR reporter who broke the story.

If you were interested in learning about Jesus and his teaching, well, I'm trying to think of a bigger disgusting turn-off than Trump or Hegseth. I think most sane people would say, "Well, it's not for me, then, if this is what it entails."

President Trump has repeatedly threatened to destroy infrastructure that makes up the foundations of civilian life in Iran — attacks that in most cases would be considered war crimes. He said on Wednesday that the U.S. would bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

The US is spending more than $1 trillion on the military for the first time in history. That apparently isn't enough. Now, the Pentagon wants $200 billion more for an illegal war in Iran. The answer is NO. We need to invest in the American people, not endless war.

I wrote last week after the fans of the T-Wolves and then Doc Rivers spoke out that hopefully this could be the start of a wave. It's horrific that it took the murder of Alex Pretti to make that wave, but a wave is here. Shout out to Victor Wembanyama for being part of it over the advice of Spurs PR
