Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month. Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day. A tale of two justice systems.

If the CDC won’t gather the data, it will be up to individual grassroots researchers and NGOs to gather and disseminate the truth… e.g., the Guttmacher Institute has been tracking abortion related health data for decades. You can learn more about their work and donate here: www.guttmacher.org

I just watched the trailer for 28 Years Later and it sampled a (very very creepy) 1915 recording of Rudyard Kipling's poem "Boots" recited by Taylor Holmes. Why does everything apocalyptic seem so suited for the current moment...? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvL...

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas. You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

A very smart piece by Helen Lewis.👇 "We have to let go of the notion that “mainstream media” is a category reserved only for journalists guided by a professional code of ethics, a mission of public service, and an aspiration toward objectivity or at least fairness."

This is the kind of leadership we need from Democrats. No Democrat can allow themselves to be used as a fig leaf over the Republican attacks on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Anastasia is one of my all-time favorite animated films (and Don Bluth is the most goated animators imo). I just came across this VHS recording from 1998 of the behind the scenes special, which also features Aaliyah ♥️ and I had to share! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNXV...
