The greatest US story never told (or hardly ever) is about the replacement of democracy with an oligarchy (I call it plutocracy).

The tobacco company Philip Morris is running a worldwide campaign to harass states that adopt regulations to reduce smoking.

As activists rebuke China for keeping effectively prisoner Liu Xiaobo as he died, and perhaps for making sure he couldn't be treated, the troll praises the tyrant of China instead.

This is surprisingly consistent, for the troll. He sincerely admires tyrants, and sincerely despises those who defend human rights that often get in his way.

Precarious workers deserve all the rights of other workers, not a tiny fraction.

War veterans often end up in the gutter from their experiences. When this happens to US veterans that are not citizens, they face the danger of deportation to countries they haven't seen for decades.
