β€œMelania” Is a Forty-Million-Dollar Journey Into the Void The First Lady’s lavish new documentary portrays world events as B-roll between wardrobe changes.

The book is extraordinary, and a reminder that all of our modern problems are a direct result of Reagan’s policies.

It’s time to protest Apple, too, but will people actually do it? The brand that can do no wrong for far too many has a leader doing everything wrong.

You can’t cancel Prime, but keep feeding Apple, and think you’re taking a stand. You’re not.

I don't know, call me crazy, but maybe instead of "falling out of love with liberalism," how about they're "falling out of love with its transphobic monstrous author?" Have you considered that?

The Black Antifascist Tradition by Jeanelle K Hope | East Bay Booksellers The story of the fight against fascism across the African diaspora, revealing that Black antifascism has always been vital to global freedom struggles.

I have no interest in using β€œcurrent events” to sell books. Certainly when those events are so horrific. I don’t much care how/where you come by this exceptional book centering our current fascism within that which has existed (& been resisted) for far too long.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

Anyone thinking of going to the Olympics or World Cup, don't

Every country should be having a very serious think about the safety of athletes, players, officials and fans.

It's morally wrong to go and give affirmation to the regime in the US

Every day gets more disgusting, ENOUGH
