Every Western European country scores higher on the global ranking of freedom and democracy than the U.S. does, according to Freedom House, a U.S.-based nonprofit that ranks countries according to measures such as election process, rule of law and individual rights.

Imagine you had millions of people in your life who ignored everything you ever said but would show up once a year and make a huge deal about your birthday, claiming they were your biggest fans.
Crazy, right?
Anyway…Merry Christmas.

No people are “garbage.” That is the language of fascists. We need to rein this racist lunatic in.

Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Absolutely sick of these thugs standing like they are ready to empty an assault rifle into a Chicago playground at a moment’s notice.
Next Dem president needs to put all these GI Joe wannabes on desk duty, armed with nothing more than a cheap plastic water gun.
This behavior is vile.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.
Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

Federal employees like air traffic controllers are not being paid. Food aid is being cut for our neediest citizens. Republican Mike Johnson has adjourned the House for weeks. Why are they getting paid when hard working federal employees aren’t?

It’s enraging the extent to which the corporate media is not relentlessly covering and showing this brutality.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
