Courage is the antidote to fear.
Love is the antidote to hate.
Generosity is the antidote to greed.
We must find the courage to face what we fear.
We must exert our love for those oppressed by hate.
We must be generous in the face of scarcity.

New U.S. jobs report shows 2025 is off to a discouragingly sluggish start
Over the first six months of the year, American job growth has slowed to a 15-year low. It's worth asking why.

The last time progressives had to save this country from greedy capitalists, muckraking journalism played a major role by exposing their corruption and the suffering of other people they caused. That's why the new Gilded Age Neo-Fascists want to replace journalism with their propaganda. #resist
Trump’s project to eliminate opposition media outlets and figures comes straight from Orban. The playbook is to:
- Use the law to force media owners to sell their companies to pro-regime oligarchs
- Assert control over (or defund) public media
It’s not censorship, it’s pro-regime oligarchy.
