Russian military trucks heading to occupied Crimea through the land corridor are forced to weave around the wreckage of vehicles destroyed by Ukrainian strikes, with burned-out trucks at times partially blocking the road.

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Yes, they were. We were. In the Orwellian way — the courage to see the absolutely obvious. But the most important way they were right was in the insistence on speaking out, on showing up, on organizing. (1/2)

SNYDER: You can't imagine Trump or Hegseth visiting Kyiv. It's not that it's not going to happen. It's just unimaginable. It's psychically impossible for them. They can't be in a world where people are actually taking real risks for real things. That would be too much for them.

He’s right we have to go through every file and convict and send a prison every single ice agent that shows up without a warrant in a mask with no identifying information they all need to go to jail for a long, long time. I think each of these guys should get 50 years cause they are the terrorist.

Because major news channels ignore large-scale ICE raids, many people are unaware they happen. This small sampling is from July 2025 to July 2026. This does not include prison transport vans or exiting vans, that will be a whole other video. This highlights why documentation is essential.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

So when Barrack Obama was running everything in 2016, and Trump won, the election was fair? But when Donald Trump was running everything in 2020, and Trump lost, the election was rigged and stolen? How does that make sense? Oh, it doesn't! It's a lie.
