Progressive. Podcaster. Always learning.
They must have heard you. Also, the U.S. has an addiction problem and we don’t enforce our own drug laws as we should. We could form a partnership with our neighbors to tackle distribution and consumption together.
I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

The State of TN does not require prison officials to notify the family of an inmate who passes away while in custody. WTH!

Dr. Oz has $33 million in companies doing business with the agency he's been picked to run.

The conflict of interest couldn't be more clear.

He's not fit to lead Medicare and Medicaid—it's a scam waiting to happen.

The Trumpers now want to deport all Muslims. They demand accountability from the FBI. Funny thing, though. Trumps first term closely followed the Pulse Nightclub attack. No outrage nor calls for mass deportation of Muslims

Wonder why? Was it that the victims at Pulse were mostly LGBTQ?

Robby Starbuck has no formal #business nor #education experience, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Yet some of the largest companies in the world have bowed to his anti- #DEI targeting.

Costco tells Starbuck he can go bite their $1.50 hot dog.

A friend declared that in 2025 she is going to “stay in my lane”.

That’s a real sign of privilege. Our disenfranchised, unseen, unheard, persecuted friends need us to get out of our lane and fight for them. Many are living in fear and it’s going to get worse. Be a real ally. We must!

ONLY AN ABSOLUTE HORROR OF A HUMAN BEING WOULD DO THIS…

Republicans slashed $200 million for childhood cancer research—a program created with bipartisan support under Obama—from the CR bill.

Why? Because Elon Musk told them to.

Was there headline news on this? Seems like huge news as all the bullshit over Hunter Biden and Burisma was invented.

We live in the disinformation age, ran by billionaires with very nefarious agendas.

“REVERSE ROBIN HOOD”

Seems like the comments on @GovBillLee’s latest post about his private school voucher scam aren’t quite what he was expecting: www.facebook.com/share/v/15x8...
December 13, 2024 at 3:38 PM
How many private schools in your zip code will accept this brave young man? Vouchers are no school choice. Vouchers are a money grab.
Hey Governor Lee — will your vouchers come with a requirement that voucher schools accept Anthony? Or will students like him mainly be left behind in even more underfunded schools?

We’ll hang up and listen.
👇🏽@GovBillLee shares a misleading video of Trump talking to a student with autism to push vouchers — He isn’t only “allowed” to go to public school. They’re the only schools that will serve him. Lee’s vouchers won’t fix that.

And Trump doesn’t get it: States do control education.
