How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Priorities. [Cartoon by Michael de Adder]

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

The most disturbing thing I see is the number who are eager to sign up to be Trump’s secret police thugs Not reluctant. Eager. Eager to beat the shit out of fellow Americans who challenge Trump

Needs more cowbell.

The problem is not that we don't have the money for things like school lunches or universal healthcare. The problem is we don't have the humanity to prioritize those over things like murdering people in Gaza.

Not now kids, Daddy's busy arguing online with people I'll never meet and whose opinion means nothing to me.

Right?

It’s my firm believe that everyone should have to work in food service or retail sales for a year before they “move on to the real work”. It’s a great way to establish empathy

After the pandemic I joined a small community choir. For the first time in over 40 yrs, I sang with a group. The sense of community & pleasure of creating something beautiful has brought me so much joy. I encourage you to find your own creative outlet, whatever it may be, as a balm to your soul.

Oh no, the gummy was stronger than expected. I’ll need to be caref…ummm… oh look, we have banana bread.

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋

Genius!

In good times and bad, I’ve always used Kermit as a role model above any politician or sports hero. I’m not sure if that says more about my mindset or our public figures’ shortcomings.

The LGBTQ+ community has always been with us, but they’ve seldom been given the same rights and an equal voice. It is well past the right time to change that.

Staring down 4 more years of stupidity…

Pick one carefully. .

How do you maintain political peace with the relatives during Thanksgiving? Here's the 10-step plan.

The GOP has demonized a small percent of our population to create political outrage in their base. They ignore the fact that every Trans person is entitled to the same unalienable rights as a cis gendered person. I will die on this hill if need be.

Great for the Holidays

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now
