Any nation that live streams executions is a shithole country.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas. In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners. The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold. We really are not a very good-natured country.

There should be nationwide marches against all the gigantic concentration camps.

If you’re in the Epstein files, you should lose your job, your wife, and your comfy life. You should be castigated by society and spend your days in prison, being trotted out once a day so the public can boo you to your face.

If the Epstein files are this vile and incriminating already, just imagine all the stuff they’re still hiding.

Thou shalt not whine about ‘participation trophies’ for years and then beg others to give you their trophies.

It’s been 29 days since 100% of the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released. Thus far less than 1% of heavily redacted and unexplained files have been released.

I didn't understand why everything is a profit center. I don't even understand why National Parks have a nominal fee instead of the United States again taxing billionaires and corporations to pay their fair share.

As much as I oppose religion I think Francis was a decent man with the right message. He was certainly not perfect and I didn't agree with everything he said or did but I do believe our world lost an important leader. Hopefully his successor will be even more progressive.

The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Trump's USDA will roll back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing. This will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker health and food safety. Last year's listeria outbreak tied to Boar's Head killed 10 people. We need more regulation, not less. Hello?

Jeez...Not even two months in and they all seem to be taking vacations. Every job I've ever had, I had to wait sooooo long before I earned vacation time.

Hey Donold, if everyone is born perfect the way 'God made them' then why do you wear so much orange bronzer? Answer that you lying prick!

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Ever notice that groups vocally calling to ban surgery for trans kids (which generally can't happen until age of majority) never calls for an end to circumcision? But barbaric religious genital mutilation of our infants is okay for religious reasons? I thought god made us in his likeness/perfect?

US plane going from Minneapolis to Toronto crashed today... All accounted for and 8 injured. Just another day in 2025.

Trump has begun firing several hundred FAA employees. Guess who is visiting the FAA command center today to "suggest improvements"? Elon Musk, of course. The billionaire grift continues. https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437

Deborah Rutter was fired this week after a decade as president of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She says the center worked hard to expand its audience by broadening the programming, inviting "all manner of arts and artists to our stages. ... I pray that that can be sustained."
