Folks, we're living in a Second Gilded Age.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.

The U.S. has kept Puerto Rico as a territory for more than 125 years. Over 3 million people have been denied full political rights.

Colonialism was wrong in India during my grandfather’s lifetime. And it is wrong in Puerto Rico in 2024.

The immunity case before SCOTUS concerns whether inciting an insurrection is a prosecutable offense. Of course it is.

By blowing it up into something else, the Republican justices are blowing up Trump’s trial — which is exactly their intention. https://t.co/PbHjecHusO

This should be illegal. There’s no way individual homebuyers can compete against this. The housing market is broken.

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

CNN believes that journalists should be neutral. That has two enormous problems. It's boring - and hence, the terrible ratings. But much more importantly, it's the wrong standard. Journalists aren't supposed to advocate for the midpoint between two political parties, they're supposed to advocate for the truth - which isn't necessarily on either side of the political debate. You're supposed to be objective, not neutral. If they were objective, they would harshly criticize both parties. Instead they do the opposite, where they try to appease both sides. That isn't journalism, that's marketing for the powerful. Firing Don Lemon or Chris Licht was never going to solve this core problem.

I am running for truth and justice as a presidential candidate for the People’s Party to reintroduce America to the best of itself - fighting to end poverty, mass incarceration, ending wars and ecological collapse, guaranteeing housing, health care, education and living wages for all!

This is Carly Burd, she grew food to help feed over 1600 people with her A Meal on Me with Love program.

Someone didn't like what she was doing and salted her garden so she won't be able to grow anything anymore.

@alwayshgolden …it was all a dream indeed. 🤦‍♀️

[BethThinks @BethThinks]

@alwayshgolden I can’t believe it’s happening for her either…. 😂😂😂 How embarrassing to make up a story like this.

Pastor Joel Osteen pays himself an annual salary of $54,000,000 from his church profits. He had a custom garage built with 20 car stalls for each of his custom vehicles. His favorite is a Ferrari 458 Italia that cost $270,000. He lives in a 70,000 sq ft mansion.
In the New Testament, four different times Jesus tells his followers to always pay their taxes. Why is it in the United States that churches don’t have to pay taxes? The IRS figures if all churches paid their fair share of 15% taxes that it would total over $2 trillion a year.
More than enough to solve the homelessness in this country, since it looks like these Pastors would rather spend your donations on New Cars instead of feeding the hungry.
