My Thanksgiving Contribution: Butternut squash gnocchi (made from scratch) on my brown butter, garlic and sage sauce. Managed to capture a pic of the leftover at least.

Undocumented immigrants are not responsible for most crime in the U.S. Studies show they offend at lower rates than native-born Americans. Whites have the most total arrests and African Americans have higher rates per capita. Ultimately, POVERTY, not ethnicity, remains the strongest driver of crime.

This is counting 20% of how much we'd save from vehicles sitting on traffic jams. To further increase savings we need: - Very frequent service on major bus and train lines - Reliable buses with dedicated lanes - More Park-and-Ride routes - Transit oriented development - Traffic pricing policies

Lazy Sunday

Meanwhile in Kentucky ... more #FAFO www.newsweek.com/kentucky-whi...

I am United States citizen and was born so in nature of Puerto Rico being a territory of the United States of America. My first language is Spanish and I have a bit of an accent. I may look like the white majority, but I can assure you that I do not identify as such and I will stand up for others.

Europe's approach to aging population: Free healthcare 1-2 years of paid parental leave for both parents Free or subsidised child care Sensical (not perfect) immigration laws and refugee protections USA's: ACA 👋 12 weeks of UNPAID FMLA for the mother only $7,500 Childcare FSA 🖕 non white immigrants

Could Obama replace Durbin as US Senator for Illinois? The last time a former President was elected to the Senate was Andrew Jackson in 1874.

In the Philadelphia DA race, incumbent Larry Krasner (D) defeated Democrat turncoat Patrick Dugan (R). With votes counted, Krasner has received 74,723 votes (80.8%), while Dugan received 17,796 votes (19.2%). Krasner had previously won the Democratic primary on May 20, 2025, with 64.36% of the vote.

YES and BLUE

Also from Argentina

Hey everyone, most of you will probably scroll past this, but I want to make something clear. Argentine beef is fine and has been for decades. This is nothing more than a desperate move by Trump and his DOA appointee to prop up the US beef industry, the same one that’s been voting red since 2016.

Looks like my go to Hispanic supermarkets are getting raided. Cool cool cool. This one happened in July and I didn't even hear about it in the news. whyy.org/articles/nor...

So much winning.

The beef industry in the US has lobbied for decades against importing from the competition, Brazil and Argentina. It overwhelmingly voted for the regime thrice. Now a desperate regime is trying to get Argentine beef imports to qualm inflation and help its buddies who got into bad investments. #FAFO

Since my Amazon Music yearly subscription is expiring next month and Spotify has decided to cozy up to the fascist regime by donating to it and running ICE recruitment ads, I have chosen Deezer as my new music streaming service. I suggest y'all check it out. www.deezer.com/us/

Not really much of a baseball fan but I'm happy to see a World Series with the team from Canada facing the team from LA.

Yes, you pay for undocumented immigrants’ health care, just not the way Faux News wants you to think. Without access to Medicaid or ACA coverage, hospitals still have to treat them. The real freeloaders aren’t the folks the GOP blames. It’s the insurance giants increasing and cashing your premiums.

Starting the week without a foot, I see. Maybe a sick day is in order.

Nor'Eastern and a visit to the dentist call for my Butternut Squash Harvest Soup

Taking a break from my usual posts to share some happier thoughts. Just planted 18 new native perennials and shrubs with my (almost) 3 year old who loves making the Earth beautiful with his dad. This included 3 that are a threatened species in PA. Here's to hoping that they all thrive!

You might look at the major U.S. indexes and think the markets are performing well. However, a quick glance at the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index tells a different story. It has nearly doubled the year-to-date performance of the Dow Jones and S&P 500. So, are we winning yet? Today it's at 28.8%.

It’s time to debunk the claim that certain U.S. states would rank among the world’s largest economies on their own. Red States like Texas and Florida benefit heavily from being part of the U.S. - from federal funding to talent and investment flows from Blue States, like California and New York.

Why push gerrymandering so hard? It’s not just control, the regime is at risk. If Democrats retake Congress, they could impeach and remove both the President and VP. Although unlikely, with enough GOP senators breaking ranks under public pressure, the Speaker of the House could become president.

Just heard the use of the word "subversive" and it brought me chills. I remember the stories from my mother and my grandparents about the Argentine Dirty War. In short: State Sponsored Terrorism was used to torture and kill the opposition. Is this the end goal? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_War

Hit the broadcasters where it hurts, ratings. Stop watching ABC, CBS, and NBC. We know we can't hurt FOX but everyone else is fair game. Are you watching the Superbowl next year? I know I'm not.

Stock buybacks and wealthier individuals are driving the gains in the largest indexes and inflating the stock market. At the same time, there are investment artifacts that investors hedge with are also increasing in price (f.e. gold and silver), likely in anticipation to a massive crash.

If we needed more proof the stock market isn't the economy: Inflation and unemployment rose in August. Right wingers threaten retaliation over the murder of one of their own. The regime threatens more civil rights violations with impunity and a possible war with Venezuela. Yet indexes are up.

The regime is illegally occupying Puerto Rico against the will of most of the United States citizens who live there. This isn’t about drugs or national security, it’s a distraction. By staging a fight against cartels and Venezuela, they’re diverting Americans from the real crises unfolding at home.

The United States is not losing the energy war, we already lost it. China already produces more energy with just solar and wind power. We could have regained ground but here we are, with a low IQ demented cheating loser destroying the future we could have had.

The United States is far more dangerous than other developed Western democracies when it comes to violent crime, particularly gun violence. Even after adjusting for population, the U.S. homicide rate is several times higher than peer nations. It is a gun problem!

America constantly tells teachers that they’re supposed to do it for the love of the job, not to get “rich” at 50K. But then you’ve got members of Congress making almost 200K acting like they’ll starve if they can’t do insider trading and manipulate the stock market

This is outright fascist. For those of you who may not know, these are the same type of laws that Francoist Spain and the Military Juntas in Latin America rolled out during their respective peaks.

MAGA: "It's Free Speech until it hurts Daddy Don."

Headlines lie: most of the $550B in Japanese investment predates TACO: like Toyota’s $14B EV plant and Nippon Steel’s $15B US Steel buyout, approved after Biden blocked it. June saw a 33K private-sector job loss (ADP), offset by DOGE rehires and security hires. Most other federal hiring is frozen.
