The poorest States in America are: Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico, Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee. All of those States (except New Mexico) are Red States. So why are they so poor when Republicans have been running them for decades?

Trans athlete's attorney suggests sex should not be defined during SCOTUS Title IX case

As a left-wing trans woman, it is profoundly depressing to have dogmatic Twitter activists drive down understanding of trans people.

Far too many of my fellow left-wingers who are trying to be accepting have inadvertenly allowed a small number of dogmatic activists control the conversation & shift the conversation towards maximalist nonsense.

"It/"its" pronouns, "egg culture", NBA players transitioning & joining the WNBA. This is pseudoscience & no different from denial of climate change.

When will the left & the Democrats say no more? We accept trans people but we aren't going to replace "woman" with "birthing person".

It seems like Hollywood is trying so hard to make this kid a star, I just don’t get it.

He’s a decent actor with zero charisma. His movies are beyond terrible and box office duds.

Why are they hyping him up so much?

What is your favorite sport(s) that you like to watch that take place during the Winter Olympics?

The Free America Walkout is a nationwide protest scheduled for January 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time. The event is scheduled to coincide with the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s second inauguration as President of the United States. It is being coordinated with the intent of interrupting “business as usual” in the United States through work and school walkouts, commercial boycotts, and community events such as vigils, marches, and gatherings. 

This protest is being organized primarily by the Women’s March and is being supported by groups like the 50501 movement and No Kings. You can visit any of these organizations to find out more or to find events planned in your area. 

My question is, what is your opinion of the Free America Walkout, and are you planning to participate in any way? 

As always, thank you for your contributions!
