Sorry for the late notice! The holiday weekend pretty much obliterated all of my plans. 😆

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.
See the problem?

We are watching @kenlburns.bsky.social "The American Revolution". It's a 10/10 @pbs.org and we highly recommend it. It is also grand to tune into something so intellectual and so accessible. Watch with your kids because this history is not being taught in our schools. www.pbs.org/kenburns/the...

All decent Americans must resist the criminal regime in the White House. Do it for patriotism, or do it because it's getting worse and everyone you love will suffer.
You can try to avoid politics, but politics will not avoid you.
