"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Israel is just 2 days away from a critical election, and thousands of protesters are filling the streets of Tel Aviv demanding Netanyahu’s removal! They’re demanding accountability for October 7 security failures and an independent commission of inquiry.

Unfortunately true. Women can be misogynistic too. Thousands of years of brainwashing has resulted in generations of women identifying more with their aggressors & oppressors (men) in opposition to their own gender.

Bernie Sanders: "I know conservative parents want to raise their kids to be honest, not to be bullies, not to lie and cheat all of the time. If we want to raise our kids to be honest, not to be narcissists who think the world revolves around them, then we need to hold Donald Trump accountable."

This was always going to happen. My guess is that Trump will issue a blanket pardon for every political appointee. Signaling a move like this will embolden his underlings to disregard and break the law. And that's the point.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

'Hitler's Gestapo: AKA Secret State Police Operated as Nazi Germany's political police force, responsible for investigating opposition, enforcing regime ideology, and executing internal security, surveillance, and mass deportations.' --it's. just. History. ICEStapo, who's YOUR Heinrich Himmler?

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO. She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation. They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO. When will it be enough. #ShedShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Blue states are like the roommate who pays the rent and buys all the groceries. Red states are the roommate who eats all the food, complains about the slow Wi-Fi, and still asks to borrow money to fuel their vape habit.
