Always feverishly opinionated. Women’s rights are human rights.
Democrats failed, & continue to fail, to counter the lawless oligarchs’ now pervasive right-wing media. I’ve been disappointed about that for a long time, but carrying on for goodness sake!

I can't fathom why ANY court is allowing the U.S. to deport ANYONE TO third-world prisons, AND paying for the prisoners to be held w/out due process or, apparently, any humane-treatment oversight.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

BREAKING: Mexico’s president just called on the UN to STOP Trump, humiliating him on a global stage.
A new poll shows about 60% of Americans strongly oppose any invasion of Venezuela, yet Trump keeps pushing toward chaos anyway. In comes Mexico's president to save us.

This hasn't received much attention but with 2nd seizure of oil tanker of Venezuela it will.
The two tankers seized are oil China purchased. Seizures violate International Law.
China has taken the issue to the UN.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

Interesting aspect of this one: Trump had argued his decisions on the Guard were effectively unreviewable by the courts. Apparently, SCOTUS isn’t quite ready to put itself completely out of business.
Finally a ruling from this Supreme Court that makes clear what all patriotic Americans know:
No Kings.
No Kings.
Supreme Court hands Trump a major defeat on National Guard deployment
The Supreme Court holds that the president’s authority to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement purposes likely only applies in “exceptional” circumstances.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

Trump: We need Greenland for national protection. They have a very small population. They say Denmark, but Denmark has no military protection. They say that Denmark was there 300 years ago with a boat—well, we were there with boats too I’m sure.
