American corporations are on pace to spend $1.1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, an all-time high.
Buybacks don't create more jobs, increase wages, or grow the economy — but they do help juice CEO pay that's often tied to stock performance.
Nothing trickles down to workers.

Trump doesn't care about crime in D.C. — which is at a 30-year low. He's creating another fake "emergency" in an attempt to show force. If he actually cared about keeping the city safe, he wouldn't have stoked insurrectionists to attack the Capitol on Jan 6. Hello?

D.C. is not crime-ridden.
D.C. is not a war zone.
D.C. is not in danger.
The only threat to D.C. is the Trump regime’s authoritarian takeover.

This morning, President Trump declared a “public safety emergency” in Washington, DC and deployed the National Guard onto our streets. This is NOT safety. It is an unconstitutional power grab that threatens the rights of DC residents.

Great data on confirmed measles cases in the US. cori.centerforhealthsecurity.org/resources/me...
For comparison, if you counted England as a state it'd come in at #2 for 2025 in absolute numbers; adjusting for population it's #6.
Not sure the US is really justifying that "measles free" status tbh.

I suggested to my wife that it seemed pointless to continually fill the bird feeder, as the squirrels always empty it in hours. Behind me, my son said, “It’s in your interest for the squirrels to be on your side when the Great War begins,” and ate another spoonful of Froot Loops.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.
