Write Justice Roberts and tell him what you think about the administration acting against the Constitution of the U.S., with a total disregard for the rules/regulations we rely on for checks and balances, and then retaliating against the judges that rule according to the law.

I just love how business leaders have the luxury of saying they can put up with the chaos because things will be better - they are not losing their jobs, their health insurance, or their lifelong work. The disastrous effects of this administration's actions won't touch them in the short term.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Does anyone else notice in conversations about illegal immigration, the focus is always on the immigrant and never on the employers? Don't they bear some of the responsibility for the crisis we are in? #immigration

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Today I read that Trump has amassed over 200 million dollars in donations since his election. Why not put your money towards something useful instead? www.jimmycartertribute.org

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

When are our elected officials going to grow a set and start doing their jobs, shutting this S!@! down? Someone making about 40 million dollars a day should not have a say in decisions affecting the American people, many of whom are living paycheck to paycheck.

While the Supreme Court heard arguments for yet another ban on life-affirming care for transgender individuals, two children, 5 and 6 were killed by a shooter in California. When are politicians going to realize the real threat here?
