Trump’s “friendship” with Epstein is suspect on its face. 15 years. Epstein’s best friend 10 years. What could be the “wonderful secrets” they shared? Blanche speaks to Ghislaine, the CONVICTED sex trafficker, to find mitigation for his client; but there couldn’t have been an Epstein without her!!!

"The most dangerous creation of any society is the man who has nothing to lose.” ~ James Baldwin

One of Baldwin's many prescient, and still painfully true musings on self-belief, prejudice, income inequality, and more.

Wealth inequality is real!!!
In 1965, the CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 21-1. Last year, it was 191-1.

The ultra-rich will try to distract us with culture wars, but we need to stay laser-focused on corporate greed.

I don't want Greenland.

I want our government to protect earned benefits like Medicare and Social Security.
I don't want Greenland.

I want our government to combat climate change.

I was pregnant and homeless after my husband at the time deserted me and took my credit cards and money.
I wish more people would realize that struggling with poverty and homelessness is not a moral failure.

So many people look down on them for their struggles without realizing they're just one bad unforseen circumstance away from the same thing happening to them

I’ve been saying this for years. This is the real fix to Social Security’s funding:
MIND BLOWN 💥

Just after midnight on New Year’s, the richest 229 Americans maxed out their Social Security tax for the year. The cap is $176,100—so anyone making that salary, pays the same as Elon Musk.

If the oligarchs who are about to run our government really want to fix SS—they’d raise the cap.

America's land borders with Canada and Mexico are the busiest and most economically vital conduits for North American supply chains, with about $3 billion in daily cross-border trade. That’s back and forth daily!

More horror from my birthplace. It’s another sad day in Missouri 😢:
Missouri HB.1739 contains provisions for the immediate dismissal and 4 year suspension from employment for any nurse, teacher or social worker who calls a student a name other than that which is on their school registration forms, or fails to report a non-cis identity.
