Mallory McMorrow is currently attacking advocates of Medicare for All for wanting to "eliminate private insurance as it exists today."

Private health insurance companies are parasitic middlemen who get between you and your doctor. They provide nothing of value and should not exist.

Jesse Welles Is the Antidote To Everything That Sucks About Our Time Rough, warm, and human: in the age of AI slop and billionaire rule, we need a 21st century Woody Guthrie. Fortunately, we’ve got one.

Welles is steeped in the American dissident folk tradition, the heir of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrieβ€”although his voice sounds like John Prine, and in his ripped-from-the-headlines topicality and bitter satire, he is perhaps best compared with Phil Ochs.

Eric Adams' first act as a civilian is a crypto scam.

Demolishing Lies About Somali Americans Right-wing ideologues like Christopher Rufo are pushing a narrative that paints Somali immigrants as welfare-dependent criminals. It’s nonsense, and the data prove it.

Conservatives rip their hair out over migration from the Global South but ignore how it’s shaped by their policies of destabilization and plunder.

When rich white people commit fraud, they enjoy the privilege of being treated as individuals. When Black Muslims do it, they are viewed as representing a culture. www.currentaffairs.org/news/demolis...

The lies about Somali Americans serve to distract attention from bigger fraudsters and divide working people from confronting those with real power over their lives.

This NYT article hilariously claims Trump is creating a bizarre new reality where the United States is aggressive, imperialistic, and invades other countries.

Every Argument Against the California Billionaire Tax is Wrong The ballot measure’s loudest critics in Silicon Valley are way off-base. Unfortunately, Representative Ro Khanna has some misconceptions too.
