Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

He clearly has serious cognitive deficits, and cannot carry out the duties and responsibilities of his job.

THIS IS ELDER ABUSE‼️ We are officially in weekend at Bernie’s territory folks.

I'd like to enter this into the "best thing I've seen on the Internet this month" contest. This racist piece of shit called ICE after these fellas built his fence to avoid paying them. They handled their business. And I love the music this is set to. "You've been, THUNDERSTRUCK!"

This is a big deal and it deserves a lot more attention. A federal whistleblower is sounding the alarm about a nationwide DHS operation called the “Unlawful Voter Initiative.” According to the disclosure, hundreds of employees at U.S. Citizenship and

The War on Terror began 25 years ago today, when Congress passed the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force. Only one member of Congress had the courage and foresight to oppose this blank check for forever wars: Barbara Lee.

The video of this is genuinely unsettling. He literally appears to have no idea what the journalist is talking about when she mentions January 6—even when she clarifies that she is talking about 2021 and about the rioters at the Capitol that day. He looks at her blankly. Scary.

Trump claims he was at Ground Zero on 9/11, but people’s pain has always just been the set dressing for another Trump lie.

The smoking gun evidence in the hush money trial that convicted Trump on 34 felony counts included a $50K payout to Red Finch Technologies. Red Finch artificially boosted Trump's polls. Just making sure no one forgets Trump has been fixing the polls for a decade.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

Dear Humanity, I sincerely apologize for taking the wrong person again. I will be going on a listening tour to hear from the community and promise to do better in the future. Thank you, God

Whatever you call it, you just made all the goods we buy that come across our border more expensive. Michigan, he’s asking us to pay for his vanity trade war with our money.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library gifted more than 332,000,000 books since it was first created 31 years ago.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

When America is gone, remember NYT headlines like this and never again ask what role corporate media played in normalizing the most dangerous man on Earth

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.
