You Are Stealing Our Future: Greta Thunberg, 15, Condemns the World’s Inaction on Climate Change


“The year 2078, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children, maybe they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask me about you. Maybe they will ask why you didn’t do anything while there still was time to act. You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes”

America’s $1.5 trillion student-loan industry is a ‘failed social experiment’


“The researchers hope to shift the conversation about student debt from one that assumes student loans are a useful tool for improving individual’s economic prospects to one that acknowledges that higher levels of debt and education haven’t necessarily boosted young Americans’ financial futures.”

America’s $1.5 trillion student-loan industry is a ‘failed social experiment’

As 1.5 Million Flee Hurricane Florence, Worries Grow Over Half Dozen Nuclear Power Plants in Storm’s Path


It’s a good thing we’ve spent $6 trillion improving our infrastructure and hardening critical facilities over the past 17 years…..oh wait we spent that on wars in the Middle East instead….

“The storm’s potential path also includes half a dozen nuclear power plants, pits holding coal-ash and other industrial waste, and numerous eastern hog farms that store animal waste in massive open-air lagoons.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just won a seat in the House of Representatives with 15…


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just won a seat in the House of Representatives with 15,897 votes.

The 14th Congressional District (CD) of NY is so heavily democratic, that it is all but impossible for a republican to win. By winning the primary, Ocasio-Cortez has basically won a seat in the House, with only 15,897 votes! Let’s put that in context.

NY’s 14th CD has a population of 712,053. Of those people, there are 29% more Democrats than republicans meaning a Democrat will always win the general. With 15,897 votes, which equals only 2.2% of the population, Ocasio-Cortez has won a seat.

This is how obtainable office is. A young, first time office seeker just destroyed a career incumbent in a primary. Running on an unapologetic progressive platform of Medicare for all, federal jobs guarantee, rebuilding and supporting Puerto Rico, abolishing ICE, and cracking down on Wall Street criminals, she won the seat.

If you’re not registered Democrat, you wouldn’t be able to vote for her. You are resigning to let the party pick whichever hack kissed the most ass to be your representation. No more!
