Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

Also, OKC was in the 1990s.

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

Good news.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

what a visual

His expressions throught the whole thing were----perfect.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

And just like that, @mapquest.com pops up with a tool to support the resistance/resistors. Humor helps. Well done.

Me: makes some random reference abt Herbert Hoover and “a chicken in every pot”. (I know…)

My friend: Wow, your Dad really talked with you guys about history and politics a lot!
