I love to travel and take photos of architecture and landscapes. When in the US I take my pup with me and will share reviews of pet friendly hotels, restaurants, etc. I am also a lifelong (gen x) social and environmental justice advocate.

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions.
This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

Is this true?! I hope so!
Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?

I almost feel like babies should have one name when they’re babies and then a completely different name once they’re not babies anymore. Like I’m sorry but that thing is too tiny to be a Stan I don’t wanna call him that.

The truth is I’m not really an introvert or an extrovert but an ambivert, which means sometimes I avoid talking to people in public and sometimes if they have a dog with them I’ll gracelessly insert myself into their lives for no less than 35 minutes also there may be screaming

If I were someone whose project is reviving the factional strength and electoral viability of centrist Dems, and if I was someone always banging on about meeting public opinion where it is, I think I would be counseling the centrist faction to actually be responsive to public opinion on Gaza.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I don't know what Trump and the GOP are claiming to celebrate today, but I know for certain it's not the life and teachings of a man who was illegally arrested and executed by the State on false charges because authorities feared his existence. Wishing you all a peaceful and reflective Good Friday.
