Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Wonder where RWNJ's get their fodder? Right here. Because they can't understand that we can love animals and the human race at the same time. Sometimes, we just need a break.

Quick reminder:
The reason we didn't hear about polio and measles deaths when you were young-"the 'golden era'"-was because so many died, it wasn't even newsworthy. Maybe a blurb in the local. Now we have MASS COMMUNICATION and the Internet. Same reason there are more child abductions. THERE AREN'T.

One more post re: Vaccines and Autism-gate.
CDC's webpages are a mixed bag. Some are maintained by programs -- people who follow science and evidence are updating.
But political cronies seem able to alter them without approvals.
So: check them against other reputable sources.

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade.
It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

This should alarm everyone.
On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
