CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

we need to abolish this shit

I’m shocked.

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson. Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million. This week, Trump returned the favor. Follow along for details.

If you didn't want Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish in the US, you should've thought about that before you colonized the island and forcefully made it a part of the US.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Spot on.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

New from 404 Media: airlines are selling *5 billion* ticketing records to the government for warrantless searching, per new docs we obtained. ARC is a data broker owned by United, American, Delta, etc. Then sells peoples' travel info to ICE, Secret Service, FBI etc www.404media.co/airlines-sel...

“There is no where in the Bible where we are taught to honor evil and how you die does not redeem how you lived. You don’t become a hero in death when you are a weapon of the enemy in life” ~Pastor Howard John-Wesley of Alfred Street Baptist Church In DC #CharlieKirk (🎥: Etan Thomas)

This is something the Republican Party has been working on for some time. I first tracked it in Florida where a bill gained traction that would have taken away nonprofit status from lgbt nonprofits. Even wrote a story on it. We are very much at increased risk of these kinds of fascist crackdowns.

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

if this shooter winds up being a red-pilled groyper the Kirk newscycle length will be mysteriously cut from two months to two days

guys, we have a tone shift

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

Charlie Kirk was a man so deeply committed to freedom of speech and enlightened, reasonable debate that you are not allowed to quote anything he said ever again.

Writing something up

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

"If you really want to restore faith in the judiciary, stop lifting injunctions against this administration without explanation."

This Trump-packed Supreme Court is ramping up its reckless practice of providing ZERO rationale for striking down orders from appellate courts that rein in lawless acts by the Trump Admin. Calling this ‘temporary’ doesn’t change the reality: they are enabling authoritarianism.

America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected. What else did people expect? All of this could have been avoided. Alas. We're in it, friends.

This was my take for the NYT's profile on Bari Weiss and The Free Press.

WaPo says defense officials “declined to address…the legal authority used to justify the strike”, but doesn’t bother to ask a single legal expert themselves, who could have told them unequivocally that attacking a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
