RFK Jr. wants to "make America healthy again."

So he's doing that by dismantling federal health agencies and firing civil servants who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and vaccines.

Do I have this right?

This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

AI could be a tool that's used for good. Or it could be a tool that's used to pad corporate profits at the expense of workers.

None of this is inevitable.

The question is will we continue to allow a handful of people to decide the future for us?

I have 747 songs in my Spotify playlist. If I play 40-50 songs a day, and if it's genuinely a random shuffle, I should not hear "Hip to be Square" by Huey Lewis and the News three times in a week.

Spotify sucks.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than its median employee in 2024.

And we're supposed to believe that the company can't afford to bargain a fair contract for its unionized workers?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
