The 2010 novel “Super Sad True Love Story” describes a world that feels very much like the one we live in today — hypervisual, looks-obsessed, post-literate. Our columnist Ezra Klein spoke to its author, Gary Shteyngart, about how he sees the world today.
Do you know how much the typical worker would be making today if their wages had grown as much as CEO pay?
This graph holds the shocking answer.

The Seven Social Sins are:
Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Worship without sacrifice.
Politics without principle.
-Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925
I just watched the replay of The Obama Presidential Center Dedication Ceremony on C-Span. This was exactly what my heart needed💙 I have not felt hope & joy like this for the longest time. Michelle's speech was so powerful, and Barack's reminded me what integrity, intelligence & conscience look like.
Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.
Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸
Mamdani: And when we win these elections.. let it be heard by every pundit who sees a Muslim last name and tells that candidate to prepare a concession speech. Let it ring in courtrooms that mistake the Voting Rights Act as a suggestion, not the law of the land.
It's not enough to oppose Trump’s wars and his gestapo. Unorganized discontent is politically irrelevant. Our job is to organize that discontent into real opposition. If you're looking to help build it ahead of the midterms, check out the organizing that’s happening near you.
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
"I am not a politician. I never wanted to be a politician. I don't want to be a politician. I am not benefiting from the PACs that are opposing Alex Bores because it's not about me. It's not about a career in politics. I'm committing to serve just one term...
@chrislhayes.bsky.social My understanding the reflecting pool is constructed out of granite. Granite possesses self-cleaning mechanism that was understood when it was constructed. Please check it out because it’s not a “pool” in the modern vernacular. It’s merely a water monument…
"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"
These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.
Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.
Bruce Springsteen is out to save America with rock and roll.
On Friday night, in a Moda Center packed with screaming, singing fans, it felt like he might just do it.

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand.
A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)
2/2 The other side of the Great Bridge in Exeter, NH this morning. Unflagging! So much support from people driving by!

War, what is it good for? 🙌🏽
Absolutely nothing‼️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Springsteen aka The Boss still knows how to shake the ground & remind us what really matters. 💃🏽🤘🏽🎸🕺🏼
Apparently, the Bridge spanning Tehran was double tapped.
Explains why many U.S Generals who do not condone such crimes were removed.
Iranians are rallying around their flag even those in the diaspora who initially celebrated.
This illegal war is becoming an all-around abysmal failure.
If you want independent media that will never peddle both sides, is unapologetically pro-democracy and will never bow down to Trump, subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
The Bay Bridge dazzles again with brilliant new lights.
Glad the bridge is once again illuminated for all to see, and thank you to all those who brought this thrilling display back to the skyline.

Now that mainstream media has abdicated their duty to truthfully inform the public, the heroes of the day are the cartoonists.
They tell truth.

For the first time ever, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will stream the two opening songs of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hope & Dreams American Tour kickoff in Minneapolis — live and free at approximately 7:30 p.m. CT tonight!
This is what the current President of the USA, having taken his country to war, chooses to discuss via his social media account...
May he burn in hell.
Never did I ever expect a U.S. president to handle outgoing communications and international policy via poorly written tweets. How do you expect anyone or a country to take you seriously when everything you do and say is utterly childish or a lie?
What an embarrassing moment in time 🙄
Now TACO Trump wants to walk away while Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, meaning that country gets to decide who transits it with what toll paid to Iran. Art of the Deal!
