It’s also the color of the Jewish star that the Nazis made them wear in their occupied European territories during WWII.
On Oct. 18th, millions of us will join our neighbors at #NoKings rallies across the country to stand united against the authoritarian regime in the White House.

Our power is our unity, and our unity will be seen in YELLOW!
Join Us!
Prescription drugs should be a cost+ enterprise like Mark Cuban’s pharmacy, not for profit. If California can do i, the rest of America can do it too.
California leads the way!

"We have a rising new Dem star who really engages with people, and is sure to win their next election."

DEM LEADERSHIP: That's fantastic.

"What are the next steps?"

DEM LEADERSHIP: Simple. Force them to step aside and throw their support behind this 80-year-old lifetime politician.
Soft secession = blue states withhold federal income tax in escrow until the administration restores the funding to those states appropriated by acts of Congress it arbitrarily cancelled.
MONEY TALKS.

Everyone needs to know that Dolly Parton responded to a climate disaster in her community with a temporary universal basic income for everyone who lost their homes.

Here's a short documentary about it:

How much are your insurance premiums going up in 2026?
The Gerald Huff Fund for Humanity published a study predicting that 25% of American jobs will be eliminated by A.I. within 3 years:

That is the same number of jobs that were eliminated in the Great Depression that led to the Social Security Act. Now is the time for UBI.

"Evidence suggests that compared to the boomers we studied, a larger proportion of Gen X are susceptible to hard falls than their predecessors. This demands a structural solution and a universal basic income might be the answer."

UBI is indeed the answer.

If you're so inclined, you can read or listen to my memoir, "Force of Nature" by Gisele Huff which is available on Amazon in soft cover, Kindle or audio. One-third describe my 22-year career as executive director of the Hume Foundation that focused on K-12 education. AI may revolutionize the field.
I spent 22 yrs making $4 million/yr in grants to organizations focused on K12 education. For the first half, I tried reform but found it hopeless. It became clear to me that transformation was necessary and that technology could enable it by actually measuring what and how children learn.
Education in America stopped working a few decades ago - see "A Nation at Risk" a report published in 1983:
"If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war."
Despite decades of education about the dangers of Nazism and fascism, many people today either fail to recognize similar patterns when they emerge or refuse to acknowledge them.

It’s a commentary on historical amnesia and willful blindness.

This failure is collective, moral, and intellectual.👇

We need a new minority leader asap.
What a pathetic and disgraceful statement from Hakeem Jeffries praising Eric Adams.
This is one of the two people (Schumer is the other) who is going to face off with TFG and his minions before the government shuts down. Mealy-mouth, spineless, clueless - the Ds personified.
WHY ARE WE PRAISING CORRUPTION???
NEW: Jeffries praises Eric Adams in a statement, saying he has "served courageously and authentically for decades" and that "meaningful progress has been made" during his mayoralty.

Says he will "publicly weigh in" on the mayoral race "well before the start of early voting.”
Twelve thugs arresting one man, not investigating fentanyl, not policing NYC subways, not monitoring suspicious activity - your tax dollars at work.
A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.
Monopolies, anyone? Capitalism = competition . . .not so much.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
Now, let's do a week-long general buying strike when we don't buy anything but for emergencies.
