Folks, I know it’s hard to keep up with all the hubbub about POTUS and his executive orders/legislation.
Here’s a POTUS tracker that streamlines it into one link.

Keeping up to date with domestic news can be difficult, but it's essential, especially in times like these.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.
The next could be you.
What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.
This is personal — to every one of us.

Honestly I know that free healthcare, housing, pensions and university would be great.
But the BEST thing about taxing the billionaires out of existence would be taking their megaphones off them.
Imagine radio, tv and social media without them.
Bliss.

Heard this on a podcast and I couldn't agree more: "Billionaires are not economic outcomes, they are economic errors."

On Tyranny - Graphic Edition Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
by: Timothy Snyder
Some of my favorite quotes from this book:
"Each story on televised news is "breaking" until it is displaced by the next one. So we are hit by wave upon wave but never see the ocean."

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.
