"Trump and Vance imagine, because it has worked thus far, that they can grift endlessly...Were there not Americans who actually worked and cared and tried to live right, there would be nothing and no one to grift."

Watch "Orwell 2+2+5"

"It’s deeply concerning that some of the richest people in the world...Bezos,...Ellison,...Murdoch,...Musk,...Zuckerberg...—own much of today’s traditional and social media, giving them huge influence over what people talk about and believe."

www.amazon.com/Orwell-2-5-R...
Watch Orwell: 2+2=5 | Prime Video
George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels, 1984 and Animal Farm, foretold a chilling, authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro) interweaves clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and modern-day footage to craft not only a portrait of the writer, but a fresh take on how prophetic his work has become.

"immigration advocate Aaron Reichlin-Melnick wrote: “We paid El Salvador to torture, abuse, and rape completely innocent Venezuelans so that [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio, [White House deputy chief of staff] Stephen Miller, and Donald Trump could claim they were tough on immigrants.”

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

Leavitt, this week: "President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep."

Trump, asked in 2019 if he had “any suspicions” that Epstein was molesting underage women: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea."

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

I don't give a DAMN what your political inclinations are, behaviour like this is completely and utterly unacceptable!

Grow the hell up!

Uderstand that there is a time and a place to express your displeasure. A Remembrance Day Ceremony honouring our fallen is neither!!!

Girls; Children. Many knew, many enabled it.
My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
