Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

@halsparks.com I’m sorry for your pain & grief, Hal. When someone passes on, I always imagine what an incredible adventure they must be on now. Seeing what’s next, who’s there, having answers to all the questions I have here! Although I’m definitely not ready to find out myself, I almost envy them.💙

Oh. Dick Cheney died. Finally. Put him in a black coffin, in a deep deep hole. This bag of garbage is responsible for putting excessive powers in Executive branch hands, and giving a psycho like Donald Trump everything he needed to start dismantling our democracy.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.
