Today, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi announced that she will not seek reelection and is retiring at the end of her term.

From her time working with Harvey Milk in San Francisco to her tenure as the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is the definition of a champion for equality.

billionaires need something else to own and farms are their target. Break the farmers backs and buy 'em out. Simple (and despicable).

Elon can manipulate the stocks all by himself and the trillion dollar prize at the goal is a mighty big incentive. "B"illionaires are a major problem but heck when the trillionaires start poppin up the "B" guys will be finally feel some relief from mean comments.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

In this litigious country, it’s hard to believe that Kenvue, the manufacturer of Tylenol, can’t sue RFK Jr. into oblivion for his claims about the product that are not based on scientific research.

The VA’s unilateral termination of union contracts for ~360k workers represents a loss of 2.5% OF ALL UNION MEMBERS IN AMERICA.
I’m not sure what it will take for the labor movement to get into crisis mode, but the crisis is here.

The 14th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1868. It guarantees:

✔️ due process for all
✔️ birthright citizenship
✔️ equal protection under the law

Now more than ever, we're determined to protect these essential rights.
