The student protests that are growing across the United States are reminiscent of student protests throughout the 20th century that changed the fabric of our laws and society.

Everything costs more, inflation is rampant, and monopolies are largely to blame. Despite the fact that we have effective anti-trust laws on the books, they haven't been enforced in over 4 decades, allowing for the conglomeration of all major industries in the United States. This means that everything here is more expensive than it is in other similar countries. That's a problem. This is how anti-trust laws will save us all.

After Alabama’s recent IVF ban and the ongoing debate over abortion and mifepristone, the conversation has shifted. Conservatives aren’t just going for abortion. They won’t stop until all our rights under the 14th amendment (marriage equality, contraception, and more) are gone, too.

Every single city in the United States is still largely segregated by race. But this isn't just because of coincidence or personal preference. It is because of a systematic, government-sanctioned process over the course of the 20th century that forced Black Americans into low quality, over-crowded housing, and barred them from receiving financing or assistance to buy the few homes that were available to them. We can still see the e...

Let's discuss!

Popular right wing Twitter account, Libs of TikTok, loves spewing anti-trans hate to its 2.9 million followers.
