“Prof Stiglitz argues that extreme inequality is a policy choice, turbocharged by financial deregulation, weaker labour protections and privatisation. Highly unequal countries are seven times more likely to suffer democratic backsliding or authoritarian drift.”

A man whose brain was eaten by a worm and who use to put live mice in a blender to feed his pet snake, and who has no medical background whatsoever is making decisions on the health of our children. That man is Robert Kennedy Jr.

I am sure this is a film that would get a lot of crowd source funding if Lilly wanted to go that way.
Lilly Wachowski, who co-directed The Matrix franchise, is opening up about the struggle to get financing for her new film that features a “wall-to-wall trans cast.”

Vote for Democratic Socialists and progressives when possible.
The government we see today is one run by and for billionaires. They don’t care about affordable healthcare, well-paying jobs, or quality education. They only care about making themselves richer at the expense of everyday Americans.

It appears Bari Weiss is cooking the news at CBS for the president.
A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

I have heard differently from people who know @Gavin that he never said this. Do you have sources other than what was previously reported from WSJ? Also you should let people know Ari Emmanuel has a 7.7b sports deal with Paramount. Not reliable.
