A little context: My mom (d. 2019) was a stay-at-home housewife, and dad (d. 2013) comfortably raised 5 kids on his salary. Mom did her main grocery shopping at Safeway a few miles away.
Big box stores, beginning w longtime โ€˜cancerโ€™ Walmart - have been killing thriving local businesses for decades.

Indeed. This post triggers happy memories of being a kid in the late 50s / early 60s in white middle class Olympia (WA), and Mom sending my brother - he made a mad dash - to run through the vacant lot behind our house, then across the street to the little store to buy a loaf of bread. Simple times.

July 4, 2026 should be designated Occupy for Independence Day.
Americans against the regime should create human barricades around the White House, Congress & the Supreme Court and demand the resignation of Trump, Johnson, & Roberts.
These are the destroyers of American democracy. They must go.

The US is on the brink of yet another Forever War in the Middle East โ€“ this time a war with Iran. Iran poses no imminent threat to the US, meaning a war against Iran would be a war of choice. #TrumpsStateOfDelusion

O'Donnell is so eloquently and concise in his opinions - and factual and true. Wish more people were exposed to his show.

Pam Bondi is refusing to prosecute anyone related to the files and refuses to speak to any of the victims.

A formal impeachment hearing to remove her would be important if for no other reason than to have it on record who else is siding with the perpetrators over the victims.

Force them to own it.
