60 years ago today, BATMAN was released in theaters, and not only is one of the great underrated comedies of the '60s, but when it comes to delivering the message "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb," it's second to nun.

My worth as a human being is not defined by what I can sell to the capitalists but by what I give everyday to others freely. Power to the people, down with Capital, long live the districts.
Editor's Note: This might be our easiest Rising Star pick so far, given how anti-human rights the incumbent has been. 50501 is proud to announce our newest Rising Star, Brent Hennrich, who is a Democrat running in Washington's 3rd Congressional District!

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has been an accelerator for the energy transition I told @npr.org. In an uncertain world, many countries found that investing in renewables and EVs give them energy security – and makes economic sense. And that's not going away. www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...
The Iran war has pushed some countries away from oil and toward clean energy
The new round of bombing in the Middle East has underscored the precarity of relying on fossil fuels. The war is speeding up the global transition to EVs, solar, and batteries, experts say.

Trump‘s intervention spoiled a wonderful tournament. Our players lost a soccer game, and I can live with that. But Trump sold out our integrity in an act that should he forever condemned.

The first thing the Bill of Rights says, "Congress shall make NO law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..." NO MEANS NO. You don't make laws about it, you don't prohibit anyone including Muslims or Atheists from practicing. Anything else is unamerican!
Judges aren't just neutral umpires who call balls and strikes, they're competing on the field and making decisions that reflect their personal preferences. Eric Scarfee's latest looks at how the Supreme Court has devolved its neutrality in court and uses some recent cases to illustrate that.
Well the conservatives/GOP/Leonard Leo have proven definitively that natural law is not a thing. All law is arbitrary and exists to maintain the economic status quo. There is no such thing as stare decises and decisions are made purely on the ideological make up of the Court. A change gonna come.
He used our tax dollars to pay for it. He ruined it. Now we’re being treated like trespassers.
