“the neuroses of the poets today may be a form of health, the only possible response of soulful people to an age of which recognizes only money and numbers and has lost its soul.” Hermann Hesse

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

WARNING: Do NOT try this at home. Sen. Schmitt brought a poster board, a perjury trap & zero fact-checkers. Result? Atlanta Hawks ≠ Iowa Hawkeyes. Jack Smith was watching Caitlin Clark in Maryland. Lesson: Research first. Gloat second. Or you ARE the cautionary tale.

El Salvador is still imprisoning ICE deportees from the U.S., even after Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case sparked a backlash. Some are disappearing.

I didnt know it gets funnier than a whole ass United States Senator accusing a man of being at a Hawks game in ATL when he was at a Hawkeyes game in MD, BUT... He let every media outlet know he had a big moment coming so they all saw him clown himself and watched Amy Klobuchar clean up the pieces.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

A 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister was among more than 80 people arrested outside the Labour Party conference in Liverpool while demonstrating in support of Palestine Action. The arrests came as Ed Miliband told critics of the government’s policy on Palestine: “We hear you. You were right"

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.
