Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Mitt Romney said the quiet part out loud: the rich should pay more in taxes.

Hate saying this but we must boycott everything/everyone at the Kennedy Center for the next 4 years (and any future after that which continues to exclude the queer people who have always defined US performing arts). I know the artists will be in a tough spot, but it's the only way to send a message

Release the files and let the chips fall where they may. We’re not worried about party, but there’s one main character who’s been gaslighting and trying to prevent the release. That screams a lot of things, but innocence isn’t one of them.
