In her new book, legal scholar Lisa Graves walks through all the ways that Chief Justice John Roberts "betrayed" Americans and "delegitimized the once-trusted institution" — all for President Donald Trump.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

I too, create images... here is a small sample:

We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

'Had dirt on Donald Trump': Jeffrey Epstein's brother says White House had motive Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark Epstein added heat to the inferno that’s already scalding the White House this week. Epstein was a guest on the Friday edition of Don Lemon’s ‘Lemon LIVE at 5 podcast’, ...

“We know that Jeffrey had dirt on Donald Trump, We know that’s a fact because he said in 2016 with the election that if he said what he knew they’d have to cancel the election. He didn’t tell me what he knows, but that’s what he said. That shouldn’t come as a shock.”

All of my favourite passages in The Hobbit and LOTR Trilogy books, as well as the Peter Jackson films, are those set in:
The Shire

‘I have to be the history’: The work still isn’t done for Mavis Staples – Matter News The music legend and civil rights icon, who performs at the Columbus Jazz & Ribs Fest on Sunday, July 20, continues to remind us both how far we’ve come and how far we have still to go.

When I once suggested to Mavis Staples that new generations of her listeners might be unaware of her history as a civil-rights activist, she nodded. “People forget the history or some don’t know it at all,” she said. “That’s why I have to be the history.”

It is galling for this puritanical pixie, who has the secular power to (1) prevent deaths in floods by making sure the National Weather Service is funded; and (2) help now by making sure FEMA is funded, to pretend that all we have as a nation to respond to disasters is the free placebo of prayer.

The Escalation Is Coming Trump's new legislation funds mass deportation—and his loathsome desires—to a staggering degree. We should not be suprised.

The biggest increase to immigration enforcement in the history of the USA w/more cash than the Federal Bureau of Investigations; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcoh-Tobacco-Firearms & Explosives/U.S. Marshals Serv/Bureau of Prisons combined.

A national reckoning is coming for America The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. The Fede...

We need a Natl Reckoning for more than the actions of The Dark Lord-
There are 1000s of DJT clones to take his place.
The Reckoning must address the mentality behind men/women of such thought/values/actions.
Anything else is placing a Band-Aid on the wound.

"People constantly speak of 'the government' doing this or that, as they might speak of God doing it. But the government is really nothing but a group of men, and usually they are very inferior men."
