I packed this poem w/rhythm & rhyme so Americans of all ages won’t forget the bloody attack launched on our Capitol four years ago on #January6. Please share w/young people who might not remember.

He built the bomb.
He lit the match.... (1/10)

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

Love this. I'd quadruple the minimum wage, not just double it, because if it had risen at rate of worker productivity, the minimum wage would be at least $24/hour, not $7.15.
Also add massive carbon taxes on FF production & use by companies & the 1% and a 'Marshall Plan' to save the planet.

With Americans STILL waiting for Republicans to propose ONE viable "concept of a plan" to replace Obamacare, Dr. Oz explains key benefits of the billionaire president's personal, 100% government-funded (with no exclusions for pre-existing conditions) healthcare plan, Trumpcare.

I don’t care whether a politician identifies as “moderate,” “conservative,” “progressive,” or anything. What I care about is whether they faithfully represent citizens rather than donors. And if they don’t up to make health care affordable for all, they aren’t doing that.

Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.
