Everyone deserves dignity — with access to housing, healthcare, and education. The opportunity to thrive regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, or job status. We all deserve safety, clean air, clean water, and communities free from violence.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

These contiguous posts in my timeline show how companies, both big and small, can either devote themselves to the trivial and evil or the substantive and good.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

The only emergency is the runaway mad president and his administration.

The government shutdown isn't stopping Trump from amassing 'emergency' powers

Congress must take back its rightful powers, narrow emergency authorities, sunset delegations, and relearn the civic discipline of saying "no."

Trump is sending ARGENTINA $20B and increasing their beef imports while STARVING AMERICAN FAMIILIES.

There's funding available to help keep food benefits, but Trump just doesn’t want to provide it.

What'll it take for him to start leading the country he actually lives in?

CNN: “Trump's Argentina beef deal angers America's struggling farmers: ‘You're selling us out’”

The US Supreme Court was created to enforce the Constitution and protect the American people from their government. It no longer embodies that purpose. It has become a rubber stamp for a dictator. It needs to be replaced.

They're… demolishing some of the East Wing of the White House, where the Presidential Emergency Operations Center nuclear bunker is, to then build a monstrously gaudy ballroom… damn near on *Top* of where the Presidential Emergency Operations Center nuclear bunker is.

Is that… do i have that right?

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Arizona announces they are suing Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.

She is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
