I do a convincing job of looking put together when I'm largely just winging it and living on a prayer. :)

This isn’t an original thought but I was reminded of it by someone in one of my feeds & reporters have been writing about it since 2016. Trump is in an abusive relationship with us: the gaslighting, the isolationism, the financial control, the surveillance, the violence, our failed attempt to leave.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

So tired of this idea that billionaires are our "betters" whose opinion is super important because they have a lot of money. It's bullshit. They're mostly greedy sociopaths who have no problem destroying people who get in their way. That doesn't make your opinion one to be valued, in my opinion.

Genuine question: is there any authorization, anything at all, for a so-called Department of Government Efficiency? an executive order? Anything?
Is anyone working for that “department” a government employee? Or is it just a straight up private sector takeover?

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.
Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .
Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?
