Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

If everyone in America would consume less beef, just 10% less consumption, the carbon emissions savings would be enormous. Then consider the savings to the health care system. All you have to do is visit a public place in Texas and you'd get my point.

Staredown In The Wild... Late evening. Madeline The Moose, keeping both eyes on me, as she lifts her head from having a sip of water. So beautiful. I was honoured to be in her presence.

stuck around just long enough for Easter and to tell J.D. Vance to repent his ways, and then peaced out.
Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

I was talking to a teacher who works at a low-income school and was dreading the upcoming book fair.

Me: Why?

Her: Most of the students can’t afford to buy a book

Me: Not this year

Happy Easter

Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees

Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security

Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Trump exhibits classic narcissistic abusive behavior. You don’t know what to expect day to day.

You never know if he’s going to bring you flowers or knock the crap out of you. Either way, he’ll tell you it’s your fault.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning
