In a culture devoted to bashing accomplishments of women that is also filled with men telling boys to dominate girls, there is no "war on boys." There is, as always, a war on girls and women.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.
The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Ohio State & Yale both played big roles in the rise of JD Vance’s career. Both schools benefit enormously from H-1B visa holders. Has he even once thanked those H-1B visa holders?

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

Victor is right. Promotion of the word "wokeness" allows right-wingers to pretend their racism and sexism is issues-oriented rather than hate-oriented.
Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

At one point in US history, the entire nation rallied around being anti-fascist.
But not this administration. They tell us all the time of their goals. Pay attention.
