I’m the daughter of parents who had different political views, educational and nationality backgrounds, and religious beliefs. I feel very fortunate to have been raised in a household with all these different views.
The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Sending healing light this Samhain. May old aches and hurt ease, and hope grow within your heart.
May loving allies watch over you and light your way forward.
May your boundaries be strong, and intuition gently guide your choices.

"They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuffed me. They searched me, and they figured out I had nothing. Then, they went over to where I was standing and found a bag of chips on the floor.” -Kenwood student Taki Allen

Good morning, friends. When you notice someone lagging, stand beside them. If they're being overlooked or excluded, bring them into the circle. If they've been knocked down, pick them up. Validate their value. A simple act of kindness can have a profound impact on their life.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?
Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.
They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

If we write off all news media, we’re playing into Trump’s hands. Some outlets are doing well while others stink.
