CEO compensation has grown 940% since 1978: Typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time The class division in this country is staggering, unforgivable, and untenable. epi.org/171191

RIP to the greatest Star Trek Captain of all time. Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard was generational casting. Picard didn’t just command a starship; he commanded respect through wisdom, integrity, and compassion. This scene alone reminds us why he’s the GOAT.

What a lovely story to share with all of us who are so saddened by his passing. Lovely and real. Thank you.

One of the very best episodes ever. Sir Patrick Stewart's performance is perhaps only matched by that of his co-star Paul Winfield - another acting legend.

Certainly one of the most outstanding Star Trek episodes ever. Suitable for philosophy, science, history, psychology, evolution, legal anlysis, writing ... all the academic 'departments'. Also a superb example of how to write and tell a story.

Pelosi's remark "all roads with you Mr President lead to Russia" still stands.
That's why trump wants her. Not because she's qualified.🚨🚨🚨 A company connected to Sen. Darline Graham's husband has ties to a Chinese weapons supplier sanctioned by the United States for helping Russia's war against Ukraine, according to a new report. bit.ly/4eYSGkp

"Who coulda thunk it"?
The Times has published 0 stories about an Oxford lecturer who was recently charged with child porn offences. Coincidentally she is also a right wing journalist and Michael Gove's girlfriend.

JUST IN: @ACLUaz sends a letter to @azjustinheap and the @maricopacounty board of supervisors and @Rachel1Mitchell that they observed employees of Heap's office of telling voters they must present ID when dropping off their early ballots. This is against the law in Arizona. In fact. It is against the law for poll workers to tell voters how to vote for equal protection purposes. Since it's impossible for them to talk to everyone, they are not supposed to talk to anyone. Early voters now have the OPTION of ID verification at the polling place, but are still legally allowed to drop their ballots in bins to go through the signature verification process. Heap responded in a press release calling the claims baseless. However. On October 15th he posted to X "early voting staff are informing voters of their options..."

The United States is collaborating with the Russian fascist invaders in the ethnic cleansing of Ukrainians – a crime against humanity. The two allies intend to “disappear” the residents of Oleshky to a concentration camp in the Russian Federation instead of carrying out a humanitarian evacuation to the city of Kherson.

Dozens of times. NBC News tallied 32 instances by July 2026 where Trump suggested the Iran war was almost over or would end soon. He has repeated versions of it many more times since, including "pretty soon," "very soon," "very quickly," and "whenever I want it to" as recently as this week.

Over what? Also, is "soon" the same as "two weeks"?

Bet the farm, Mr. Ralston. Some of us are really concerned about how violent this could become (a la Jan. 6th).

Someone ask @BrentTaylorTN to prove his god "forgave him". He can believe his god forgave him but those of us in the real world want to know why he wasn't required to register as a sex offender. Decent folks in Tennessee, do not vote for a pervert for a US Senate seat - ever.

It is not just bigoted and un-American, it is vile. Christian Supremacists are the most dangerous domestic terrorists in America today. Bernie Moreno should have his citizenship stripped and he should be deported.

Implying that Jews shouldn't be allowed to run for office because they don't accept Jesus is waaaaaay more antisemitic than college students protesting genocide in Gaza. Also, who wants to tell this Ohio senator about Vivek Ramaswamy's religion?
Moreno says El-Sayed can’t be a senator because he doesn’t understand that Jesus came here for our salvation.
