We the people have spoken. Congress must do their job and represent the will of the nation. Say NO to “King” Donakd!

War kills people, and those it doesn’t kill, end up carrying a heavy burden of trauma.

Americans do not want war and they certainly do not want politicians who cheer it on.

The politicians don’t go to war, the working class does.

We must center humanity and stand against war.

You shouldn’t need a GoFundMe to survive cancer. You shouldn’t work 40+ hours and still be poor. You shouldn’t die waiting for healthcare in the richest country on Earth. This ain’t radical. It’s righteous.

It’s time to fight for what we deserve: single-payer healthcare.

I want to be clear: America WILL have single payer healthcare.

How do I know? Because for-profit healthcare is unsustainable and single-payer is the best system.

We will get there. It will be a fight. It will be hard. But we will get there.

We will.

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Every podcast should have these miners , the mayor of the town and others from the area on their podcasts and shows. Trumps name should never be mentioned. They know who caused it.
I would love to hear what they feel needs to happen next and how to get there. Not what politicians think

I work for a government contractor. Here I sit, taking my required annual conflict of interest training. Meanwhile, the President of the United States rakes in billions in cryptocurrency from people and corporations around the world who have business with the government.

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

They want people to have more children but don’t want to address the cost of healthcare, housing, food, childcare, or education.

Two things can be true:

President Biden’s economy looked good on paper, yet working class people struggled AND President Trump’s economy is getting worse and working class people are starting to struggle even more.

The ruling class wants us to argue about who is better.

The problem is, he has gotten to the edge 1,000’s of times and he always gets away with it. ALWAYS! Watching evil win all the time with him is becoming exhausting for those that still have faith in something that is good . Whatever that may be.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

Gee, I wonder if there’s any historical figures throughout time that arrested judges for following the law that we could make a comparison to. Nobody? Ok great! 👍
