The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

SCOTUS has again ruled that the president can literally do anything he wants. Further evidence, if you needed it, that conservatives don't plan on allowing a Democratic president ever again.

It occurred to me that we're arguably in a second civil war and our side--anyone who isn't a white heterosexual Christian conservative--just doesn't realize it yet. As Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings once said, "Open war is upon you whether you would risk it or not".

After years of music becoming more nondescript and creatively lacking, I am starting to sense change in the air. There are a certain subset of artists that are going weirder, more subversive. In a time when our culture has a fetish for boring and normal, it's not a moment too soon. Rock on you guys!

Langston Hughes wrote “Tired” in 1930, but it applies as much today as ever. Yes, I’m tired. I believe the world contains—and can and should elevate—good, beauty, and kindness. But the worms of greed, hate, and ignorance will devour it from within until we stop them. That is where my activism aims.

Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents

5 years ago, Trump was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands with his handling of Covid, eventually leading to over a million. Now, he’s President again and we will likely see even more. At least 300,000 have died after NSAID cuts, and this is just the beginning. STFU, Potato head…

Why is it that going too far in one direction politically is only ever a problem when it's to the left? The country can go endlessly farther to the right and the media is like "ho hum".

We're approaching a literal breaking point where our stubborn insistence on pursuing conservative policies is going to destroy the country. At what point are we going to realize the GOP is never going to help us, and will we be able to do anything about it when we do? fortune.com/2025/06/19/n...

I have been saying that everything the GOP has been doing, from alienating rural voters to completely giving up on any pretense of appealing to black voters, to giving the president unlimited power, points to one conclusion--no free elections ever again.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

My glasses don't have anti-reflective coating, so whenever I take a selfie I have to look over the top of my glasses to avoid eye-obscuring reflections, making me look like a slightly sexier version of Chuck Schumer.

So bombing Iran only set them back by 3 months in their efforts to obtain nuclear weapons, yet the Trump administration insists their nuclear capability was "obliterated". What, are we going to bomb them every 3 months?!?

I fail to understand the motivation behind not just wanting, but absolutely demanding to live in a country where everyone is exactly the same, and everyone pumps out multiple children who are exactly the same as all the other children. Isn't that kind of boring and depressing?
