Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

This is unconscionable. I have worked with UNC's Center for European Studies for years. I cannot believe this. What a way to destroy a university.
UNC-Chapel Hill is closing all six of its area studies centers to save $7 million dollars.

UNC's football coach, Bill Belichick, makes $10 million a year.

In total, the football team now has a $40 million budget.

Make this make sense.

CNN and CNBC have announced they will now integrate Kalshi’s "predictive information" -- that is, news gambling -- into their journalism. We could joke: "What could go wrong?" But, seriously, what could go right?

For the first time since she turned pro after her junior AO win in 2019, Clara Tauson actually made a profit as a tennis pro in 2025 with a WTA 1000 final and a semi, moving from in the rankings 50s to WTA #12. Tennis is an expensive sport to play. Danish paywall #tennis borsen.dk/nyheder/plea...

City officials – including the police chief – expressed outrage over the federal agents’ conduct. City comptroller Brad Lander:"I really do want to ask the NYPD to remember who you’re sworn to protect and serve, and it is the people of New York City,"
The vibe shift today is, I think, due to the fact that New Yorkers were on the offensive instead of the defensive.

Usually with protests, demonstrators have to defend the space, defend their right to march, etc. They get beat up and pushed around and antagonized into chaos and trauma.
