This is a reminder that judges, be they elected directly, or be they put in place by another elected official, in the end they are put in place by We The People who vote in EVERY election.

Two days ago, the “peace monks” completed their 108-day walk from Texas to Washington, D.C.🌞
The sun came out and so did countless people tired of the ugliness and division.

The #BlueCrew stands with all who choose peace, unity, and hope over hate. 💙✊

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.

It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

#Merzoni, with the willing participation of 🇪🇺President von der Leyen, have formed a pact to dilute the power of the European Union and return it to national capitals in order to carry out corporate wishes.

It is the opposite of Draghi's vision. Yet they are citing him as their inspiration.
The Merzoni plan would take Europe backwards, not forwards
EU leaders will gather for a castle retreat tomorrow with Mario Draghi, who will call for Europe to federate. But the German and Italian leaders are coming to the castle with a pact to weaken the EU.

From David Brooks in the Atlantic. I’ve asked myself this question so many times. How is it that half of our fellow Americans think Trump is, in any way, a good person or good for our country? 😢

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:

Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files

Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

The DOJ is still obstructing justice, and the MSM is still failing to do its job. They should be demanding that Pedo Protector and clearly deranged DonOld tRump resign his office.

This was not an inevitability.

This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.

It does not have to be this way.
