"did you make that logo signifying Europe's grim duty to rearm in the face of a hostile United States and expanding Russia?"

"Sure did boss, made it real goatse just like you asked,"

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Community is the antidote to despair.

Happy to host! 🌹

I love pottery!

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.

Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.

This is what oligarchy looks and feels like, one of the wealthiest men in the world buys a newspaper and uses it to support an administration designed to help the already rich and powerful.
