The reason the minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation is because the rich don’t WANT it to. Keeping wages low and desperation high keeps workers compliant. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a STRATEGY.

Project 2025 called for gutting the EPA's scientific research office. In under a year, the Trump Administration has done exactly that, taking a division of more than 1,500 scientists down to 124, reassigning doctors and epidemiologists to finance offices and hazardous waste permitting desks that have nothing to do with their expertise.       For more than 50 years, that office produced the independent science behind every major clean air and clean water protection this country has. It existed specifically to be free from political interference.       The scientists who remain answer to Trump appointees, and their work must now conform to the Administration's agenda.        No other institution in the United States can replace what's being lost. Once that expertise is dismantled, it doesn’t come back in a year or a decade. It’s a generation of progress erased, deliberately, methodically, and exactly according to plan.   nytimes.com/2026/04/27/cli…

In news that will get very little coverage, Mariska Hargitay's "End the Backlog Campaign" achieves rape kit reform in ALL 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. It's women who are going to save us. Thank you Mariska Hargitay.

Tobacco is one of the toughest drugs to quit, but psilocybin shows promise for helping people kick the habit. In the latest study, a single dose combined with talk therapy allowed half of participants to give up smoking. bbc.com/future/article…

Psychiatry has thrust 'illness identities' on a 1/4 of the population. Yet, recent research confirms that once we adopt an illness identity, we often behave in ways that confirm & deepen it' becoming chronic 'treatment'-consumers. This isn't helping & healing - it's exploitation.

The move for Trump to review psychedelics seems good on the surface but why should the government have any say in natural materials like mushrooms, peyote, mescaline, ayahuasca, marijuana, etc? Regulations breed corruption and anything that is natural should not be legal or illegal. It’s your personal business if you want to use these substances.

2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.” They did. 2023: “Stop overreacting, they won’t let women die rather than get an abortion.” They did. 2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.” They did. 2025: “Stop overreacting, they won’t turn women into incubators.” They did. 2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.” They did, today. Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.” They will.

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.

I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.

The new Banksy sculpture in London is brilliant

A police dog sniffed the shooter out while he was assembling the weapon behind a door. The handler pulled him back. The shooter came out and ran right by him. The dog was held back from chasing him, too. This keeps getting worse for Secret Service.
