It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.

Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA.

Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.

Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.

Integrity fading
Losing justice and empathy
Country in crisis

(There is hope when we rekindle the light of compassion within us)

Fantastic news: the Supreme Court ruled to NOT revisit the landmark Obergefell decision which legalized same-sex marriage.

This is a victory for all Americans, as no one should be discriminated against for who they love.

While it's lovely that our country has two days a year to honor those who served & made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, yet everyday, many vets suffer food insecurity
are homeless & have poor health care. This is reprehensible and must change.

Happy Veterans Day
and thank you to all who served or are now serving and their families.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide.

Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.

The news is clear: overshooting 1.5°C of global warming is now 'inevitable'. ⚠️

But by how much, and for how long, is still something we can change. 🌍

As #COP30 kicks off in Brazil, all eyes turn to the world leaders in attendance. Will they take this opportunity to change course?

As an European , it has been an eye opener , watching the maga cult in the USA . that fetid dark cloud almost obscuring all that I love about the USA. I long to see the end of this shameful chapter, I long to see a handful of republicans find their decency and condemn trump and co.

Not for one second.
Someone please explain to me how will a vote NEXT month on ACA Subsidies work? Rates are out and up enormously. Will there be a special enrollment period if the subsidies are continued? I mean this is ALL hypothetical anyway, because does anyone really believe that there will be a vote on this? SAD!
