Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system - a party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, not a party that buckles and capitulates.
If Democratic leaders can't understand this, then they must be replaced with a new generation of voices who do.

#AltText4You: The Meta sign at 1 hacker way
@arstechnica thanks for covering this, and thanks also for sharing it here ... but could you please include alt text on your images?
But consider what could happen in a year or two when search engines get smarter. I click the Search button on my keyboard, or tell a search engine, 'I want to buy a pair of shoes.' It supposedly heads out on to the Web to find shoe stores, but in fact brings me only to those shoe stores that have deals with that search engine or hardware company. The same with booksellers. Insurers. News. And so on.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

Trump: I think he should say. I think he has a shot. He’s running against a communist.

Finland Didn’t End Homelessness With Magic
They Just Didn’t Treat It Like a Business Plan.
You can still run a café. Start a band. Sell socks online. Capitalism still works in Finland.
But they decided that housing people didn’t need to turn a profit.
Because sometimes, the moral thing is the practical thing. And no one thrives when their neighbour is sleeping in a tent by the river.
You can’t KPI your way out of a crisis. Sometimes, you just have to give a damn.
