There are millions of people who are feeling defeated and hopeless. That nothing can be done. That we're all just alone against this evil. Well, let me tell you, nothing could be farther from the truth. We're not alone. We are one, and collectively we are an unstoppable force. Never surrender.

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.

BREAKING: Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on voting rights of Native American communities. Please pass on to your Native friends. Encourage them to call their elected officials

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial
A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Stephen Harper 2.0

Trust me, Canada was a nightmare with Harper. Muzzled scientists, researchers. EVERYTHING had to be run through him. Have you heard anything from current Cons? Me neither. #PeePee ordered them to ignore us all.

Well, let's ignore them on April 28th.
