Who needs to be seen today? We grow best when we grow together.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I refuse to pretend that claiming “both sides” are the problem is a sign of intelligence.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

To paraphrase the Declaration of Independence...

We hold these truths to be self evident, that if you can rent the city of Venice for your wedding party, you can afford to pay your employees a decent living wage.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.
Best of luck to you! We need imaginative, intelligent and humble leadership. 🌹

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

The United States is the cruelest place on earth. It has the wealth to care for millions upon millions in need and it chooses not to.
No, let’s keep daylight savings time so we can have more light at the end of the day. Actually California voted for that and we still haven’t seen it applied.
They don’t care. They’ve gone beyond the rule of law. We are in a real constitutional crisis and a rule of law crisis. We’ve got to start getting creative here, folks.
