You may have noticed my omission of capital letters at the beginnings of the words trump, maga, republican, musk, or any of their associates in my posts. This is not a grammatical error. I do it deliberately because I don't believe any of them deserves even that small token of dignity, or respect.
trump is suggesting lowering safety standards for cheap, tiny cars as his answer to affordability. Eventually, only the most affluent will be able to afford the larger, sturdier s.u.v.s, and pickups. The less than affluent will be weaving among them on the road in barely visible, tiny death traps.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.

Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Wise words from a truly great lady....
What a beautiful human being. ❤️
I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.

I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

"a republic, if you can keep it."

Democracy died. Fascism is here. Legal residents of the United States sent to foreign prisons without due process. Students detained after voicing their opinions. Federal judges threatened with impeachment for ruling against trumps priorities.

This is what the democrats of today should be saying, rather than trying to stifle their more liberal members, and condemn socialism.
81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

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. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united
