It just being announced that there is another school shooting. This time it is a Christian School. The one commonality is the use of guns. When will children be more important than reasonable gun laws? Yesterday was the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

Nothing moves Republicans. Now, on top of the threat of guns, our kids may face a world without proven, safe vaccines. They’re ok with polio making a comeback?!
I will never understand why the GOP seems to hate the kids that they INSIST be brought into the world.

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy!
Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

I like to point out that it’s called an entitlement because it is my hard-earned money, which I am entitled to.
The weaponization of the word is a strategy by evil-doers to one day separate us from our hard-earned money without an uprising.
If we follow in Russia’s footsteps, our pensions are next.

Someone please explain this to young people:
Reading might not make you cooler.
But it does make you smarter.
And wiser.
And kinder.
And more interesting.
And way more attractive.
And okay, I lied, it DOES make you cooler.

Of course, where "quietly secure forbearance" = bribes and favors.
I think we could see mass deportations selectively applied: In blue areas, highly-publicized raids; in some red areas, Trump-allied Rs and favored industries quietly secure forbearance.
There's some historical precedent for this, as I document here.

Is anyone else appalled by Anthem Blue Cross’s plan to have time limits for anesthesiologists in specific surgeries. They can still perform, but the extra time won’t be covered. If one insurance company is allowed to do this, others will follow.

The Secretary of Defense is too important a job for someone with Pete Hegseth’s sick personality, lack of experience and zero qualifications. He’s a danger to the nation.

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour
The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers
What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?

When I was hungry, you took away free & reduced lunch
When I was thirsty, you gave me contaminated water
When I was homeless, you made me illegal
When I was a stranger,you sent me to detention camp for mass deportation
I was sick and you took away healthcare
I was poor and you took away my SS.
