What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

In the 1980s and 90s, Amnesty International sent camcorders to countries that were abusing human rights, having correctly determined that by recording and distributing evidence of the atrocities, they could be stopped, or at least mitigated.

Fingers crossed for the Streisand effect.
For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

But Trump's VA has now decided it won't fill thousands of open positions.

This NEEDS to go viral.
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The problem is that Netanyahu claims any opposition to his policies is antisemitism. And that is BS.
