Or to quote Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat liver…”

I don’t know about you, but I thought the two Super Bowl halftime shows were indicative of the division in America. On one side you have joy, hopefulness, inclusion and tolerance. On the other, racism, hate, intolerance and control. It has ALWAYS been that way. Americans are realizing it.

Brilliant

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Italy says no thanks!

♡ H E R O ♥️ Alex Pretti ♡

In the face of hatred, Dr. King inspired us to build a society filled with hope, kindness, and love for our neighbor. Together, we must continue to work to enact his vision of equal opportunity for all.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

5 years ago today, domestic terrorists attacked America. And on his first day back, Donald Trump showed us that Rule of Law meant nothing to him.

Drug runners are camouflaging their boats so they don’t get blown up.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

What do you get when you mix the best selling single of the king of pop with the lately departed queen of MAGA? This is what we get: a parody of Billie Jean about #mtg #maga #marjorietaylorgreene 🎶🕺 youtu.be/Xr0_HN9KNCs

Accept people for who they are and mind your own business. If you have an issue it’s on you.

Just call it Pravda Social. Pravda means truth in Russian and that’s where our dunderhead in chief got the idea for his platform’s name. The Nodfather aka Sleepy Don dozes again …

trickle down economics

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Yep, it’s the food stamps.

Trump's almost done with the "ballroom".

Trump's Big Ugly Bill includes a $39B annual business tax break for millionaires. For that same amount, we could extend the expiring ACA tax credits for a year — and still have $7B left over. Priorities.

WOW... JUST WOW... In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras. Sen. Jeffrey Merkley tells us what happened :

We went from taking out terrorists to terrorizing hotel staff. What a downgrade. Are we great yet?

🤔 ... Studies have shown that chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) may impact dementia risk and progression. Less blood to the brain, less brain function.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

WHEW! Way to go Moldova!

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press. Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media. They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

Trump gets booed at the US Open today.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

Chicago Mayor Deploys Salt Trucks as Mobile Barricades to Block ICE Operations

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…
