Retired USask education professor. 🇨🇦 Grew up in a Keynesian society, thought it was fine. I despise the neoliberalism of my adulthood. What is trying to replace it, global authoritarianism, terrifies me even more.📎🌎
Although on one level these headlines are quite sad, taken collectively they are kind of amusing.

What did the Hated 8 Dems have in common besides voting against the American people last night? They all received donations from American Airlines PAC. Their vote was not about a vote on ACA or even SNAP. Their goal was to get American Airlines at full capacity again. Bought and paid for #ProudBlue

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I like Pope Leo.
Among other laudable perspectives, Pope Leo despises Trump for behaving as though he’s never even heard of Jesus. He probably doesn’t know what Jesus stood for.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
Obscene.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.
