It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Bruce Hornsby hits #1 today in 1986 with “The Way It Is”.
“Just when one thinks we are making progress,” he said, “appalling incidents will occur that shock and sadden anyone who is interested in equality in American life,” he said. “So sadly, the song still retains a bittersweet topical quality.”

It's backfiring badly on the GOP, because the myth that Louisiana is a red state is being LOUDLY exposed. They control LA due to voter suppression schemes, but are the minority. People now see they need only VOTE for the majority to prevail. The sleeping giant is awake.
