There are 2,781 billionaires in the world.

Their combined net worth is $14.2 trillion dollars.

If you don’t think that’s a problem, then you are part of the problem.

Donald Trump on FEMA:

"FEMA is going to be a whole big discussion very shortly, because I'd rather see the states take care of their own problems."

Texas, Florida, and Louisiana have been among the largest recipients of FEMA direct assistance since 2015.

Have fun with that.

Toni Morrison's words from 2015, as timely as ever:

“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

No office is too small to fight for.
This is an excellent longer read that shows the power of university boards and the way a few key people can change the direction of an entire institution and their local area

I’m both proud, grateful, and not surprised nearly all the leaders who’ve been on the level about where we’re at are @runforsomething.bsky.social alum. We’re building a better party from the ground up - got a long way to go but it’s a start.

Over and over again, it is clear: the generation of leaders that got us into this mess won’t be able to get us out. We need new people to get in the fight.

On the first day of Trump’s first term, there was no AOC, no Maxwell Frost, no Mallory McMorrow or Anna Eskamani — the leaders who will take us forward from here weren’t on our collective radar this time 8 years ago. We may feel rudderless but a lot can & will change fast, maybe for the better.

They should ALL be attending. MLK DAY events.
Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist and yet hundreds of Democrats in Congress will be attending his inauguration.

Do these Democrats want to normalize a rapist being in the White House? If not, they should stay home!

Taxing scholarships and other financial aid programs is one of the many options that House GOP is proposing to pay for it's tax cuts for the rich. Another example of how Republicans plan to enrich the wealthy at the expense of everyday Americans.
