Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride

Look at the sample of headlines about the shooter. Only the UK's Guardian notes in the headline that the shooter of the National Guard troops was trained by the CIA. Wonder why US media wants to downplay that?!

Stares at you in federal minimum wage.
What are you basing this on? Average incomes have risen hugely in the last 25 years. There was a period of stagnation during the great recession, but that was paired with historically low interest rates.

Nothing says supporting healthcare like making it harder for people to become nurses.

Thank you to nurses and all the other healthcare professionals who are on the job today.

Sending gratitude to all my fellow carers. At least for a day, please try to set aside the self-doubts; focus on all that you are accomplishing for those you love and who love you in return, even when they cannot find the words.

The President of the United States of America - who is a stunning black hole of sociopathy and malignant narcissism - is emotionally incapable of wishing ALL the people of the United States a Happy Thanksgiving.

Incapable.

Oh and he threatened the lives of Dem legislators this week.

The Republican Party supports everything illegal Trump does, or else they'd use Congressional power to rein him in.

Trump isn't rogue.

He is doing exactly what Republicans want.

Two National Guardsmen have now been shot because of it.
