going to log off, barely a nod to the common command β€œdon’t look away!”

Iβ€˜m going to look at what I want to look at. A plant, the funny dog who smiles as his human carries him around.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

This is great! But how about a shout out to folks in hundreds of small towns in red, rural America who risked their livelihoods and maybe even their lives to come out? Everyday heroes and heroines.

We're talking to you, Tellico Plains Tennessee! And dozens more.

people wearing inflatable costumes, one holding a sign that says stop pretending fascism is patriotism, another holding a flower and standing in front of a mobility device wrapped in an American flag. Off to the side someone holds a sign that says Alexa change the president. Not pictured: lots of bubbles and some dancing. Some people will say we’re not doing this right. To that I say phooey.
