Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.

A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Not surprised, I'm sure there are many more out there. Disgusting. And no one cares.
This keeps getting worse and worse.

This. So many people need go understand this.
There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly

2) Insider-trading

3) Political payoffs

4) Fraud

5) Inheritance

Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers:

“Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.”

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

So true. My students echo this all the time. Talk about indoctrination.
An important point to keep in mind.

Respect!
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

The head of the FAA was fired because he held Elon Musk accountable for SpaceX safety omissions.

Donald and Elon don't care about regular Americans dying in plane crashes, they only care about themselves getting richer.

Spread this around. Blame the republicans, it's what they do all the time to democrats. Show everyone that they don't know what they're doing and don't care.

Oh, per @nbcnews.com: Quaker groups file suit over the end of policy restricting ICE arrests in houses of worship.

Note: Quakers were some of the earliest supporters of Sanctuary, even putting out a booklet on the topic in 1984 (it's still available). www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The suit appears to be the first from a faith-based organization challenging the change in court.
