Progressive. Policy wonk. Vegan. Cat mom. Optimistic cynic. Happily married. I'll happily debate, but be nice. I block trolls. No DMs, no porn, no crypto, and seriously: no more invitations to join the illuminati. All opinions my own.

This actually breaks my heart. A wild rabbit forced to brave an asphalt jungle to eat potted greenery, instead of having access to green fields. Pretty bleak.

If she'd injected bleach to kill covid she'd sue Clorox, I guess.

Meanwhile, FL Surgeon General responds: β€œFloridians have the freedom to make informed health choices. I support the decision to consume raw milk when sought for potential health benefits and protective factors.”

It's not about protecting us; it's about silencing dissent.

Yes. That does look like a cat. The rest is catness.

So, Cuomo wants a law making it illegal for someone who isn't "poor" to live in a rent controlled apartment... Instead of policies to lift people out of poverty, he wants to make it harder for folks to survive. So out of touch with reality.

Let's add, 'peg worker and CEO pay to one another, so that if a company pays its CEO more than, say, 15x the lowest paid employee (including contractors/hourly workers) the company is taxed punitively and that tax revenue is used for social support systems.'

I'm a petite woman + have lived in and around DC for most of my life. Walked + jogged + hiked + taken public transit + cabbed + driven at all hours of the day + night, through all sections of the city, often solo. I've always been safe in this community. Feeling a whole lot less so w/the takeover.

Original report in "The Hill" was that a group of kids walked by and a couple of them made comments about wanting to take the car. So BB shoved his GF into the car and "prepared to confront" the kids. Who kicked his ass. The story has now been changed and I can't find the original.

It's worse than that. Vouchers are just the first step in a long-game attempt to defund public education. Oligarchies require cheap labor, and educated workers have more employment options and therefore more bargaining power.

I'd like to see CEO and worker pay pegged to one another - so any company paying its CEO more than, say, 15X the salary of the lowest paid employee (contractors and hourly employees included) would pay punitive tax rates, with those taxes going directly to public services.

I was in his class a few years after you and got to see some of the transformation in process. It wasn't pretty. When he started seeing himself on TV the attention went to his head and any character he had was drowned by his ego.

Bless 'em. It only took how many years? of watching Republicans do this with a thousand issues from trivial to venal before the Dems figured out how to fight back. Now if they can only manage to keep up the momentum and build from it, we might have a chance to end the madness!

It looks more like one child sex offender receiving special treatment because of her proximity to another child sex offender who is wealthy and powerful and doesn't want his crimes exposed.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

2.5 million more people without a personal doctor.

1.6 million more people taking on medical debt.

22,000 preventable deaths annually.

Oh don't worry: there are no serious members of the economics profession - or any other field - in this administration.
