Old lady Democrat rediscovering voices I've missed. Once called "delightful" by a Trader Joe's cashier

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit.

Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Tomorrow, I will begin posting Black, Latino, Asian, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ owned businesses where you can spend your money online or in person, rather than participating in the usual Black Friday corporate nonsense.

You can also do a search for businesses in your area.

Can you imagine a woman of color, say a Black reporter, who was caught in an affair with a Presidential candidate THAT SHE WAS COVERING, getting completely rehabilitated less than a year later with a cushy new job and puff piece profile in the paper of record?

Nope.

This is how the New York Times covered a staggering breach of journalistic ethics, one that contributed to the disintegration of American democracy and the needless deaths of tens of millions of innocent people.

NYT is not a legitimate newspaper. Everyone who works there should quit.

We're headed into the holiday season, so two things to know:

- The only items in the store that are more expensive due to tariffs are: two leather bookmarks. The other 2,100 gift items and 47,000 books haven't gone up. thehauntedbookshop.com

- A trip to a local bookshop is a present in itself 📚❤️

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

This is odd, it looks like the DOJ skipped suing Texas entirely. The Justice Department is now suing California over the new congressional district boundaries that voters approved just last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday in a post on X. Who are they going to sue, the voters?

A Democratic project could be to hold clinics to help everyone get a passport. If Republicans insist on ID, then help everyone get a passport. A good way for democrats to step up for young USians. @democrats.org Also, having a passport means more chances to travel.

Women have lost substantive rights. But there's almost zero discussion of it. Punditry, media, politics have pivoted to "poor men are very sad and politically we must DO SOMETHING." Imagine how sad men would be if they didn't control their own bodies.

Hmmm, what's changed since 2014?

Americans have elected a serial sexual predator/rapist & pedophile twice to be President

Misogyny is now celebrated & encouraged by the GOP, Evangelicals, & the MAGA base

Worst thing that ever happened to the USA👇
