Dear Democrats, if you want to stand out in Texas, do what the state is not doing and help individuals in Kerrville

A CEO's number one priority is to make their company profitable. This will happen world wide.

'The Left' needs to focus on delivering a message 'Centrists' and 'Swing Voters' can believe in and want to vote for, not this tabloid BS.

Elina Svitolina, UNITED24 and Bring Kids Back UA ambassador, held a training session with children saved from russian deportation or returned from occupied territories. A moment when kids could simply be kids again. Thank you, Elina, for bringing back hope. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ’›πŸ’™

Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power.

Staying far from timid.

And never bending the knee to a wannabe king.

I hate MTG. She is a horrid person and politician.

That being said: The antisemitism from the far left is shameful. Hamas is a terrorist organization funded by Iran with the goal of wiping Jewish people off the face of the planet. *Palestinians* killed over 1200 Israeli people on Oct. 7, 2023.

If the "the Left' were focused on how to win elections instead of cancelling each other with their self-righteousness, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Moderates and Progressives need to figure out how to deliver a UNIFIED message voters can believe in and want to vote for... or get used to this bs.

'Progressives' who hate the 'Billionaire Class' yet have Spotify accounts are virtue signaling hypocrites.

Daniel Ek is worth over $10 Billion & Martin Lorentzon is worth over $15 Billion. They made their billions by not paying musicians what they deserve.

Now their investing in WAR.

Could you imagine a united 'Left' where Progressives and Moderates worked together to vote against DT47 and JD Vance? I have yet to see this happening. Why?

Dear Mr. Reich. I understand how being critical of DT47 is, however notice you never say to bring Progressives & Moderates together. 'The Left' cannot beat the Republicans in national elections without the support of each other. Why is Pete Buttigieg the only Democrat seemingly building bridges?

The Ambassador of Canada to Ukraine, Natalka Cmoc, got a tattoo with the symbol of Zla Mavkaβ€”the all-women resistance movement in Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories. Zla Mavka unites women who resist russian occupation with bold, nonviolent action.

The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

If you want to win elections, you have to go where the voters are. Why is Pete Buttigieg the only liberal doing this?

At night, russia killed at least 5 people and injured over 70, including 5 children, in Kyiv alone. The terrorist state launched dozens of ballistics missiles on innocent, sleeping civilians. Again.

russia continues its campaign of terror.

44 days ago, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire.

Every day since, russia continues their eager attempts to kill as many Ukrainian civilians as possible, targeting our cities far away from the frontline.

It is obvious russia doesn’t want peace. russia must be strong-armed into it.

Steve Bannon is one of the most dangerous people in America. It was Bannon who orchestrated the Jan 6 Insurrection and now he's trying to overturn the Constitution of the United States to get Trump elected to a third term, e.i.: make him a dictator!
