Mom, Mimi, dog lover. Deep believer in kindness- struggling in this moment in history.
Help me understand here-

Pre election Republicans were apoplectic over the price of eggs. Now, at the grocery store 1/2 and 1/2 (half gal) is over $7, I can’t afford cereal and a loaf of bread is $5-$6. Why aren’t democrats calling out the GOP?

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky
Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

You can NOT make this Sh!t up
Kash Patel apparently runs a "America First" clothing line.

"Tired of seeing your money go overseas?" reads a product page. "Support your fellow Americans by purchasing a Protect Our People t-shirt."

Shirt appears to be made on Next Level blanks ... which are made in Central America and Haiti.

Bluesky doesn’t have to be bigger than Twitter to be successful. It just has to be inviting, engaging and big enough that people can find people and accounts they enjoy engaging with, and or following.

Then People tell accounts and friends on other platforms to come here. It’s a SOCIAL network
