Show me a rose, and I'll show you a stag at bay. Show me a rose, or leave me alone.
It may just be a coincidence, but I've noticed that the smarter, more educated people I know tend to be progressive, liberal Democrats.
AND WHAT ABOUT MY KUMQUATS?

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Acton: I’m running against a guy, Vivek Ramaswamy, who has said that people are struggling in Ohio because they’re lazy, they’re mediocre, they’re not working hard enough. And I can absolutely tell you that is not the Ohioans I know or see. I think he’s completely out of touch.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

In case some of you are unaware.
Some service members that have gone unpaid are being targeted by unscrupulous loan companies.
Although they will receive back pay, these loans are averaging around 18% interest.
That’s evil and outrageous but, also a byproduct of the government shutdown.

My blind/disabled daughter receives SNAP benefits. We are willing to wait for the remaining 35% of her disbursement so families like ours aren’t permanently saddled with doubling or more of our healthcare/insurance costs.
Don’t let our sacrifice be for nothing.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

What percentage of Trump's voters actually understand the political implications of our country's president propping up and supporting the likes of Orban and his regime, Xi and China, and Argentina? Our allies have drifted away while Trump cuddles up with Putin and these other dictators.

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.
Many Republicans won’t do town halls.
They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.
We deserve much better.

Do you remember when the White House had good taste?
Back when the art had meaning, the rooms had soul, and the President had both.

Humanity is doing great
The most evil American is the President of the United States
The most evil man ever to become a US citizen after years of living here illegally will become the world's first trillionaire
And the center of global democracy, the White House, will soon host an MMA cage match
