As someone who watched my wonderful dad succumb to dementia, I hate that it is mixed in now with 47’s horribleness. People with dementia don’t deserve ridicule, but he makes it inevitable.
Um. Did he forget what happened? The dementia is really, really bad.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

Yup. I haven’t seen a word from @amyklobuchar.com @governorwalz.mn.gov @smith.senate.gov on here about yesterday’s raid in St Paul

Not all economists are a holes
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
