I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Trump to impose $100,000 fee per year for H-1B visas, in blow to tech The Trump administration said on Friday it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas, prompting some big tech companies to warn visa holders to stay in the U.S. or quickly return.

If he were president five decades ago, my parents would never have made it into this country

I wish I had the strength to think everything and everyone is beautiful.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

All this, because what? A black guy was kind of in charge for a while? Women asked people to stop raping them and getting away with it? Black people asked to stop being murdered in the streets? Some strangers want to live and love without hate?

White patriarchy is really bad.

That’s one regal cat

Man, I feel like a woman

What exactly does sex and candy smell like? I can’t imagine that it’s very good

Harris put 226 points on the board despite an electoral college that is skewed to inflate the influence of sparsely populated states.

The Republicans may have a lock on the federal goverment, but the true heart of the nation is still very much up for grabs.

How to root out Trumpism So many of you have asked me how one of the most loathsome people in America was just reelected president that I thought you might find it helpful if I shared with you some personal history. This may ...

The 2024 electoral catastrophe could present our best shot at rooting out the influence of corporations on Democratic politics.

Then we can wrest control of the great national desire for change that Trump has hijacked.

Christian nationalists dream of taking over America. This movement is actually doing it. The New Apostolic Reformation is "the greatest threat to US democracy you've never heard of."
