@nytimes.com is useless.

Anthony Bourdain on revolution: “The minute everybody in the room agrees with you, you’re in a bad place... “The best revolutionaries of course are martyrs who died before they could turn into disgusting, self-serving, corrupt pieces of shit. As they all do.”

If you made one dollar PER SECOND you would have a billion dollars in 31.7 YEARS! And billionaires are spending millions on campaigns so they won't pay millions in taxes. #billionaires #california #washington

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

Voters in Missouri passed a constitutional amendment in 2024 protecting reproductive freedom, including the right to abortion. Now, Missouri voters are being asked to overturn their vote with Amendment 3, which would again ban abortion in the state. Vote NO to stop the ban.

MASSIVE BOMBSHELL: DAN GOLDMAN UNLEASHES TRUTH! Congressman Goldman just went live with FBI 302 receipts. Evidence shows Trump unzipped his pants, forced a 13-year-old’s head down, and when she bit his p*nis in self-defense, he punched her and called her a "B” We knew it was coming! 😡🤬
