Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Mickey Schwerner went missing in Mississippi 57 years ago today.
To put in perspective how recently that was, Goodman and Chaney - had they lived - would be the same age as Joe Biden today.

What we learned in 2020? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because heath is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they’re being paid. That we live in a society, not an economy.

In Opinion
Tom Hanks asks in a guest essay: "How different would perspectives be had we all been taught about Tulsa in 1921, even as early as the fifth grade? Today, I find the omission tragic, an opportunity missed, a teachable moment squandered."

When my silly photo “scandal” happened ten years ago I thought that we would get less judgmental about digital pasts over time. I was glad to speak w @kashhill about what went wrong in light of Emily Wilder’s firing. nytimes.com/2021/05/29/techn…

we don't let a 17-year-old open a bank account without their parents' permission but we will let them take out $100,000 in student loans that will convert to $200,000 with interest.

The oil and gas industry got billions in COVID relief, but they refuse to share how they spent these taxpayer dollars. The American people deserve to know how this money was used, and policymakers need to know so we can make informed decisions in the future.

NEW: Trump charged the Secret Service $396.15/night to use a room at Mar-a-Lago this spring.

How the rich get richer:
Charles Koch (worth $64 billion) funded groups to overturn the eviction moratorium while investing $230 million in landlord companies.
The amount spent fighting eviction bans is just 0.03% of his $25 billion in pandemic gains.

When the penalty for aborting after rape is more severe than the penalty for rape, that's when you know it's a war on women.
