Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.
The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Just a reminder for Xmas Eve eve, it’s a great time find your closest immigrant-owned business and support them. Get a meal tonight from a restaurant if you can. Commit to buying grocery staples at an immigrant-owned market once a week. Do what you can to help people keep their heads above water.

James Talarico exposes GOP private school voucher scam:
“Elon Musk is a Texas resident and is eligible for these funds.
He has 8 children. That's $2 million in funds for Elon Musk.
You're taking tax dollars of plumbers and nurses to subsidize families who already have kids at private schools."

What this means in practice is that if you are not white, you cannot go certain places without the risk of being kidnapped by federal agents. That is not “common sense”; it is the nullification of the Constitution’s guarantee of equal rights under the law. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people
