After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

You can condemn political violence without rewriting history about the victim.
Charlie Kirk was absolutely not "practicing politics the right way." He spread conspiracy theories, demonized marginalized groups, and called one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees a "diversity hire."

These fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but they’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.
That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.
Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.
And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?
