We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:

We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.

Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

The level of global donations for supporting the Gazans is decreasing bc ppl think the suffering has ended.
The suffering hasn’t ended. Income sources are still cut off. Reconstruction hasn’t yet begun. The crossing out of Gaza is closed.
The suffering is ongoing. Why are you giving up on us now?

None of this is acceptable to European strategic defence, let alone to the Ukrainians!

It is a plan to create a weakened Ukraine, ready to be turned into a satellite state, like Belarus, that can be used as a launch pad for a Russian invasion of NATO countries.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.
