Thursday's Thought - What really bothers me about The Felon's ballroom beyond the illegality and Un-American opulence is - The Felon cut down 100+ year old trees planted by Andrew Jackson and Chester Arthur.

Blaming the poor and the hungry for needing help due to systems that have failed them rather than holding those who profit off the systems remaining as exploitative as they are accountable is one of the most enduring and disgusting forms of hypocrisy of our time.

People don't stop getting sick when they lose insurance, but they may start rationing meds or skipping doctors' appointments.

And when people delay regular treatment, emergency rooms end up crowded & overwhelmed.

We have to make sure health care remains accessible to everyone.

The rhetoric being used against disabled people, Trans & Queer folk, immigrants, People of Colour, etc... Is textbook Fascism.

If people don't like this or get defensive, then they should look seriously at themselves... Because they're causing history to repeat itself.

In 10 years, you won't be proud to tell someone that you sent clever memes while the President of the United States murdered people in boats, stole healthcare from 15+ million Americans, built up #ICEstapo , and literally tore down the White House.

Trump wants to end judicial oversight. As cases from California, Oregon & Illinois move toward SCOTUS, you would expect the Supreme Court to object to the effort to render it irrelevant, but the question is whether this Court will.

John Singer Sargent painted Robert Louis Stevenson at his house in Bournemouth a coastal resort on England's South Coast. Unlike previous portraits where Sargent captured Stevenson’s nervous energy, here (1887) he's in frail health and is depicted sitting down.

Senate Democrats will offer 2 bills today from Chris Van Hollen & Gary Peters—each is co-sponsoring the other’s bill.

Van Hollen’s bill would pay all federal employees during the shutdown and bar more layoffs. Peters’ proposal would pay all federal employees up through the day the bill is enacted.

Prior authorization for healthcare means that an insurance company is involved in your healthcare. An Insurance company is a for profit company. It makes profits when it denies you care. We MUST move to a single payer universal healthcare system!

Trump is tearing down the East Wing of the White House because he wants you to feel violated. He wants it to serve as metaphor for what he thinks he can do, at his whim, to your life and the lives of your loved-ones.

Do not submit.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

The beautiful 124-year-old East Wing of The White House, all of which is owned by The United States National Park Service, is being destroyed this week without any authorization.

And yes, that includes the demolition of the first family’s beloved movie theater, constructed in 1942.
