persists as always.

Republicans own this shutdown by refusing to fund your healthcare.

The Democrats fight to defend your fundamental rights.

Because of Republicans' health care cuts, families will be forced to the brink of bankruptcy from one bad medical diagnosis.

That's what this shutdown fight is about.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress own this government shutdown.

imagine if the teevee media repeated this fact just once an hour

that’s probably all it would take to re-inform audience opinion

but that’s not their job

no society has ever been failed by an institution more completely than the american people have been failed by the collaborationist court media

Racism hurts everyone.

Don't forget the Supreme Court, They control that too.

5年前の今日、10月4日、わたしはフランキーと一緒に近所の水辺に腰を下ろし、秋空を眺めながら、天国ってこんな風景かなと思った。

天国にいるフランキー、そちらはどんな風景ですか？ I miss you.

その通り。

全然小さくないですよ。トランプが当選したのは、こういう小さな心配事の積み重ねの中で、「ハリスよりもトランプの方が自分の生活がよくなる」と思わせることに成功したからなんですから。

世の中のニュースを見ていると
自分って銀行の毎月の手数料で怒って、ERの支払いを今から心配したり…
小さな人間だ！と思うけど

でも自分のような人間が普通の一般中間層だと思う。
そんな細々したお金を心配する必要のないお金持ちになりたいけど…

頼りは宝くじ(に当たること)

😂😂😂

はっはっは、２回もトランプが大統領に選ばれたときの我々の気持ちの1/10くらいを日本の皆さん（の一部）も味わっていらっしゃいますでしょうか

「ライフワークバランスを捨てます！」とかいうのはね、捨ててもいい／捨てても困る家族がいないひとだけがいえるセリフで、「捨てられないひともいるんだ」ってこと、忘れてんだよね、あのひとは。

たとえば小さな子供さんがいたら、保育所や学校に子供を迎えに行かなくちゃならない、ご飯たべさせなければならない、お風呂にも入れたり、病気のときは病院に走らなくちゃならない、仕事だけしてればいいってわけにいかないだろ？

わたしは現役時代に文字通り馬車馬のように働いて働いて働き続けたけど、それは、「馬車馬のように働くことができる状況」だったからであって、もし状況変われば、あんな働き方はできませんでしたよ。

しかし、「ライフワークバランスを捨てて」と意気込んでいる姿は、男女雇用機会均等法施行後まもなく総合職に就いた先輩たちの一部が「男性並みにバリバリ働こうとする私たちの足を引っ張らないで！」と言わんばかりに肩に力を入れて廊下を闊歩していた姿にホントよく似ている…

あの時代から感覚が進化してないんだと思う。

バッドバニーさんの件でメルトダウン起こしてるマガとトランプ政権、なんなの。NFLのハーフタイムショーは娯楽なんだから、どうでもええやんか。プエルトリコ人は米国籍持ってるんだから、ICEといえども国外追放はできないでしょ？

（アメリカンの行事なのにプエルトリコ人はアメリカンじゃない！とか言って騒いでる無知が勢ぞろいしてるからな・・・）

これを受け、世界各国、特に欧州では強いプロテストが各国主要都市で勃発。トルコ政府は、自国民の乗組員がイスラエル軍により被人道的な扱いを受けたとの報告に、事態を重く見て、調査を始めるとのこと。
