Retired high school finance teacher. I've also run non-profits, consulting, tech services, and stuff. Love to travel and take pictures. Pretty damned liberal and probably going to get even more so now. Unfortunate Texian. #voteblue

Exactly one year ago today I was touring the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland. I took only 2 pictures and the entire experience was filled with foreboding. As I toured, little did I know how fast and far our country would fall in just 365 days.

Spare us the patronizing 'bless her heart' comments. It took Speaker Johnson less than 24 hours to swear in his Republican colleagues.
He’s stalling because he’s scared of his puppet master Donald Trump.
This delay isn’t about process. It’s about obstruction. #ReleaseTheFiles

Whatever Speaker Johnson says:
He sent the House home for YET ANOTHER WEEK because he cares more about protecting the Epstein files than he does about protecting the American people.

Dear Murkowski, Thune, Collins, Tillis, Ernst, Cassidy, Capito,
When the ICEStapo shatters glass on a baby in a car seat… and pulls a zip-tie tight on a child’s hands… and throws a woman to the ground…
Those are your hands doing the harm EVERY time in EVERY place.
You have failed as humans.

Republicans just shut down the government to rip away healthcare and hand Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab. Instead of negotiating a budget that protects families, Republicans chose to throw working families under the bus. This is the GOP’s shutdown & they own the damage from it.
Shutdown near certain after Senate again rejects funding bills
Lawmakers are poised to barrel into the first government funding lapse since 2019.

When your country is no longer about the rule of law. I guess you elect a felon to lead you, pardon insurrectionists, arrest moms dads children, redition minimum wage workers, cheer concentration camps, and just murder boatloads of people. Do I got this right.

French hospitals were told to be ready for a “major military engagement” by next year, as much of Europe prepares for war.
This is a direct result of the Trump & Putin alliance—the Trump regime has abandoned our allies and emboldened authoritarians worldwide, resulting in global destabilization.

A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences, which play out slowly.
On average, incomes fall behind by nearly 15% over 15 years.
For the U.S., this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime, that's million bucks.
