thought for the day: In the class war between the rich and poor, the rich want to make themselves richer at the expense of everyone else, while the 99% want to make the rich less rich in comparison to the average person, and thus more like themselves.
The rich divide, while the 99% seeks to unify.

"Post it on your social media." Thank you, Mr. Acosta.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Trump gets sentenced today, and we don't care because nothing is going to happen.
If you are a normal American you must follow the rules.
If you are an American with any sort of power or status, then you can basically do anything without consequence.

"The future of collective bargaining in Wisconsin now depends on the future of the state supreme court, just as unwinding the gerrymander did. That’s precisely why the multipronged, incremental approach that Wikler and other Dems have undertaken is so effective."

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.
He had help.
It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.
Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.
70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.
There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

Democracy requires active participation in both it's function and it's defense in order to work. With voter turnout as low as it is, and the amount of unchecked disinformation being pushed on us, it's shocking but not surprising that we poor results from our elections.
