If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

CU signs $2M OpenAI deal for ChatGPT access Students and faculty will gain access to ChatGPT Edu starting in March under a three-year deal.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

This is incredibly offensive. To see the California Governor's office -- and a former san francisco politician! -- promote Reagan as an example of goodness + humanity is outrageous when it's widely recognized that his anti-gay and AIDS-phobic bigotry contributed to killing how many Californians?!

It's amazing to me that Americans listen to some semi-rando who admitted to snorting cocaine off of a hooker's ass, over doctors and scientists. Just heartbreaking. Gift article.

RFK Jr. made promises to get his job as health secretary. He's broken many of them In his confirmation hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told U.S. senators that he would not cut funding for vaccine research or change the nation's official vaccine recommendations. He did both.

Drug addled, incoherent, unqualified, conspiracy theory spouting ⁦‪@SecKennedy‬⁩ lied under oath in his confirmation hearings and still profits from spreading vaccine disinformation while undermining the lifesaving, science based mission of the NIH.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace.

In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace.

In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

I was diagnosed with MS 12 years ago after an attack of full body neuropathy. I’ve been really lucky that I haven’t had any subsequent attacks. Still, the possibility always hangs over me, and the possibility of taking that stress from others was joyous to me. This is so awful.

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
