Do you ever wonder why it seems like billionaires have suddenly become outrageously powerful, while the rights and needs of average Americans are, at best, ignored, and at worst eviscerated?
Hi, I’m Robert Reich, here to talk about one of the most destructive events in our recent political history: a Supreme Court ruling from 2010 called Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission.
This decision was the final nail in the coffin for nearly a century of reforms that h...

Minimum wage is actually $27 an hour, and the only reason you don’t make $27 an hour is because the people who owe you that money spent it on propaganda and political lobbying to make you think that the extinction wages you’re being offered are an acceptable alternative to the living wage you’re actually owed.

With just a stroke of his pen, President Joe Biden could secure a landslide win for Democrats in the 2022 midterms, and coast to a second victory against Trump in 2024 - and it wouldn’t rely on cooperating with far-right conservatives like Joe Manchin.
Right now, Biden is facing garbage approval ratings for Democrats across the board, and inevitable catastrophic losses in the Congressional midterms, that will lead to Republicans easily able to terrorize the poor, outlaw the lgbt...

Going to college might be the worst investment you can make in your future. Now, we’re not saying that you shouldn’t go to college or that it’s not worth it, but the idea that our parents and teachers have been telling us since the 90s - that a college education is the key to lifelong career success is, unfortunately, bullshit.

Being homeless is a choice. Not THEIR choice, of course. But people who have the power, money, and resources to end homelessness — TODAY — are choosing not to. The fact is, we don’t know how many homeless people there are in the United States - and it’s not because we can’t find out, or that it’s too expensive, it’s not. We just don’t care. Ending homelessness is simple and surprisingly cheap. 2022-04-22 23:03:30 +0000 UTC

If you’re a young person today – GenZ or Millennial – I'm sorry to say you've been shut out of economic opportunities that existed for many of us older geezers. No matter what “influencers” or financial gurus on TikTok tell you, no amount of “hustling” or gig work can replace a system that was once designed to help you prosper.

Facebook is paying the largest Republican media firm in the country to launch a coordinated attack against TikTok by planting misleading stories and negative op-eds claiming that TikTok is dangerous, and promoting made up TikTok trends like “slap a teacher challenge” that don’t actually exist.

Over the last 22 years he has officially and unofficially ruled over Russia as a dictator, through open threats and assassinations against his opponents and critics. Putin’s rise to power is marked by allegations of false flag terrorist attacks against his own people, aggressive human rights abuses, and so much embezzlem...

Would the US ever reinstate the draft, and how would that even work? It’s an interesting question: technically, yes they can. In the US, if you’re a male between the ages of 18 and 25 you’re legally required to register with the Selective Service System which is a “draft list” that has been continually updated since 1940. In fact, failing to register is a felony punishable by up to years in prison or a $250,000 fine. (Although in reality, nobody’s been prosecuted since 1986.)

Russia is unexpectedly testing its strategic nuclear reserve, by practice launching intercontinental ballistic and cruise missiles within striking distance of the Ukrainian border. Simultaneously, Russian-backed separatists are firing explosive artillery shells into eastern Ukraine and they just hit a kindergarten, wounding three teachers, but thankfully no children.

A few days ago, police in Minneapolis, Minnesota broke into a apartment with a no-knock warrant and within nine seconds, shot and killed Amir Locke, a 22-year-old Black man, who was asleep on the couch in the living room. This happened in the same city by the same police force that murdered George Floyd in 2020, and under the same hypermilitarized no-knock raid tactics that led to the murder of Breanna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky.
