Why is the idea of exploiting child labor abhorrent ... except in the agricultural industry - and why is the right protecting the industry's ability to use 12 to 14 year olds in unsafe conditions? Hint: it's the same reason they're routinely xenophobic about immigration, but less so about illegal employers' hiring practices. I've a beef with Target: it's Pride Month and you caved. What happens when white nationalists get physically violent during Black History Month? Matt Gertz, senior fellow at Media Matters for America to share with us what he and the staff there are seeing on outlets like Fox News in the aftermath of the latest wave of Trump indictments. Lastly, shows like "Succession" and "The Idol" aren't just bingeworthy "must watch" television - they're cautionary tales to remind us what happens when spoiled brats remain coddled for most of their lives and how "out of touch" these petulant people usually are. We should know the dangers, after all; we elected someone like this to our highest office.
