"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

I always smile at this song from Monty Python's Life of Brian:

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!🌞

"If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh & smile and dance & sing."

4 years will just fly by, right? Well, at least we have each other.

💙Love y'all!💙

The GOP's latest attempt to suppress votes: the SAVE Act.

This bill would require citizens to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, disproportionately affecting the elderly and women who've changed their names.

JUST IN: The U.S. added 256,000 jobs in December, surpassing expectations and bringing the total for 2024 to 2.2 million. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, and wages grew 3.9% over the past year, far outpacing inflation.

Imagine a society where neighbors were turning in neighbors, accusing them of crimes to get them put in concentration camps or the implications of suspending the Constitution or ignoring certain parts, like the 8th & 14th Amendments.
That's what the Laken Riley Act will do.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at The Washington Post, says her cartoon below was killed by Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner. Bezos didn’t want the cartoon to become public because it shows him kneeling before Donald Trump.

You know what to do.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social.

I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be:

“Newspapers die in cowardice.”

Ann Telnaes, a Washington Post cartoonist, quit after her cartoon satirizing Jeff Bezos was rejected:

“I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.”

I think her cartoon of Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Patrick Soon-Shiong, Disney, & Bezos is spot on.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Everyone knows Putin is attacking western Democracies. Everyone knows Putin has used and is using Trump to attack American Democracy.

Everyone better wake up and fight back, or Putin is going to defeat us.

Read, share, and support the plan to defeat Putin.
