There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

Republicans want to cut $30 billion from SNAP, because nothing says β€œsave the children” like starving them.

The follower growth in tandem with post engagement I’ve experienced over here has made me deeply suspicious that I’ve been screaming into a void of largely bots on Twitter for the past two years

PSA: Your Twitter/X account is about to change forever If you don't want Elon Musk to feed your tweets to his AI, now might be the time to leave the app formerly known as Twitter.

Starting today, the new shady terms of service for X go into effect.

Yes. What Musk is doing will destroy whole families, whole towns, and cause a recession. If Trump does what he promised with respect to tariffs, the combined effect could result in a Second Great Depression.

And Musk is doing this to protect his companies and punish enemies.

No one voted for this.

It would be great if The Onion kept InforWars going like it normally did, only slowly replacing the misinformation with actual information. Imagine all of the brain cells that could be saved!

Canada should keep all the blue states that want to join. The big blues (California, NY, Massachusetts) have the big economies. Red states are destitute, and without being subsidized by the federal funding from the city economies, they'll quickly realize what was wrong with their votes.

Sorry but all the fables and fairy tales I read as a kid led me to believe people would be learning WAY more lessons than they actually do

Hopefully the people who run this platform fully understand the many reasons why a mass exodus of people has fled toxic X, and will do their best to ensure this place never becomes anything like that.
