Avid reader, love dogs and cats and other critters. Our president and his billionaire buddy are insane. I am 78 years old and my father fought Nazis in WWII. I have been anti fascist since I was born.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.
1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.
Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
