Discovered this artist visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art this week. I find modern art often times is so abstract and intellectual that it feels disconnected from the human experience. Not so with John Wilson which gave me the type of emotional reaction to his work I usually find with music.

Could smaller families 'rewild' the planet β€” and make humans happier? Many economists and business leaders are raising alarms about falling birthrates. But advocates for lower human populations say a less crowded world will be happier and more sustainable.

In small towns and rural communities, young voters say they feel unseen by leaders Gen Z and millennial voters will make up more than half of the electorate in 2028. They're a crucial bloc for both parties, but many are facing daunting economic realities and feel unseen by leaders.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

Labor productivity has more than doubled since the late 1960s. But workers’ compensation has barely budged.

Yes. The economy is rigged in favor of the wealthy.

Stephen Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel. When people say that there is an oligarchy attempting to undermine our freedoms and institutions to preserve their power and wealth, this is what that means. Silencing critics of the regime is the beginning steps of that process.
