Secular Humanist & social progressive who is completely aghast at how so many conservative friends, family and acquaintances have openly embraced the fascist policies of Trumpism. WTF is happening to our Republic?

This is Kherson. russian drone operator hunts down a civilian fruit seller and attacks him. ​The russian behind the controls knows and sees exactly what he is doing. A vile sadist, a subhuman who deliberately targets a poor man. Reports say he survived. ​#Ukrainianview

An amazing Haitian man I know was just sent a notice of deportation. He is supposed to turn himself in Tuesday. He is not a criminal. He's not the "worst of the worst." He's a gainfully employed taxpayer, a human being, grateful to live somewhere he isn't fearing for his life He's my neighbor.

There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

The U.S. State Department has issued a Worldwide Caution for Americans overseas, citing increased tensions in the Middle East and the possibility of unexpected security threats. Officials say the global security environment remains unpredictable

Detroit auto executives, as well as Michigan voters, have decided to kill off the U.S. automobile industry. If everyone agrees EVs are the future (and are increasingly the present) and if Detroit continues to insist on not building EVs...well you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.

The American E.V. Has Been Crushed. Will It Take the U.S. Auto Industry With It?

The largest U.S. automakers have backed away from electric vehicles, even as global sales are booming. The decision may make them obsolete.

STAY TUNED ON THIS Republicans may have poked the bear. They used gerrymandering to weaken Black voting power. Instead, new data suggests they helped drive higher Black voter turnout across parts of the South. 1/2
