Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

MELIA

Full of love, sweetest girl once she gets to know you, enjoys car rides, peaceful walks, playing, will be you best friend. All she needs is a calm adult only home. No dogs. Cats ok.

Yesterday, I told you that my law firm is litigating 66 voting and election cases in 35 states. By the end of today, it is up to 69 cases in 37 states.

When you grow the pie, everyone gets a bigger slice.
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.

Remember this.

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

One photo a day.
One moment outdoors.
One small habit that quietly changes everything.
My books share how the daily challenge began, they might just inspire you to start your own challenge too.
Who is up for it? Or a book or two? 🤗

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer
