A 3-4 day work week. Guaranteed income for all. Free healthcare. Free school at all levels. And a radical transformation of our relationship to earth ecologies. All what we could do with our collective resources if both parties didn’t use our collective wealth to bomb the world.

My cats have a particular meow which means "I have a mouse in my mouth at this moment, please come admire my prowess." As soon as I lay eyes on the cat/mouse combo, they lose interest, drop the mouse, and wander off as it scurries away. 🤦♀️

More people need to start viewing Trump's victory as what it was, a vote of no confidence in the Democratic party. And stop discussing it as though he "won" or that the democrats "lost" since that implies there was any kind of fight.
