This is what a bold grab for public money in the name of profit looks like to me. That and an opportunity to disenfranchise whole segments of society from their right to self determination.

It's time to start standing up on a lot of issues.

Ukraine is being told to give up a quarter of its country. Invaded for 3 years and now give away its nation's mineral rights. This is seriously wrong. That is not a fair deal for Ukraine.

What do they get in return? Nothing.

Speak out!

Time for my daily musical smudge post to cleanse & purify my profile. Today's smudge is "Yes We Can Can" by the Pointer Sisters.

"I know we can make it work
I know that we can make it if we try
Oh, yes, we can, I know we can, can
Oh, yes, we can..."

As others have said, the greatest transfer of wealth in US history will not be from the Boomers to their children but from them to the US healthcare system. The US is designed to make people insolvent and to keep them poor once they're there.
Your reminder that fame is not wealth and America is broken.

Mainstream people know him as the cabbie from SCROOGED, but he’s a prolific musician and entertainer who has been at the heart of music since the late ‘70s.

Science denial by Trump in order to further an agenda is wrong. Removing data sets on diseases will kill humans and do nothing to stop the diseases. Complete and utter BS!

It seems that Musk and the technology billionaires want to smash the government to enable their futuristic visions, and Christian Nationalists like Russell Vought want to smash it to replace it with religious rule. Trump wants to smash it for money and power.

Tump is pushing the boundaries of what the executive branch is allowed. My concern is the erosion of the checks and balances set-up within our constitution.

The president does not get to pick and choose which laws he enforces and congress decides how our money is spent, not the president.

1.75 years until the midterm elections, 3.75 years until the next presidential vote.
This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Breath, make your plans, and act on the things you can locally. Now is the time to look for new charismatic leadership and choose the kind of society you want to live in.
