The corporations that have dominated our lives for the last few decades, like Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Target, and Meta, are NOT permanent. We can turn them into the K-Marts and AOLs of the 2020s AND save money at the same time.

There are a lot of unexpected things I’ve had to do as a parent, but making this sign for a rally is maybe the least expected and most disturbing.

There has never been anything like this before in modern US history: the president pardoning people who we all saw on live TV assaulting police.

So deeply disappointed by the blatant misinformation and racist dog whistles in this recent mayoral primary poll. We have two candidates with more than a decade each of experience in local politics. Surely that's enough to focus on their own records of getting things done for the people of Pgh.

"Here's What You Can Do to Keep Democracy Alive During Trump's Second Term"
Authoritarians thrive on fear and hopelessness.
For Zeteo, George Lakoff & Gil Duran outline 17 important and useful things you can do to *not* give into such negativity.

The Laken Riley Act would imprison immigrants indefinitely without due process Accused of a minor offense, like shoplifting? Not convicted -- just accused? You're detained indefinitely. No bail. No trial. No justice. Even if charges are dropped, or you're proven innocent, you stay locked up. That's not safety. That's state-sanctioned cruelty.
The Laken Riley Act would target Dreamers and legal immigrants Dreamers who grew up here, went to school here, and are part of our communities? Detained. Refugees fleeing violence? Detained. Even legal immigrants caught in bureaucratic limbo are swept up in this nightmare. This bill punishes everyone.
The Laken Riley Act would hand MAGA extremists federal power This bill gives people like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton the ability to hijack federal immigration policy. He could demand federal judges lock up asylum seekers en masse or block visas for doctors, engineers, or students from entire countries. Imagine one MAGA state deciding who can live and work in the United States. That's what this bill allows.
The Laken Riley Act would gut legal Immigration By letting courts impose blanket visa bans on entire countries, this bill risks shutting down legal immigration altogether. Skilled workers, students, and even families trying to reunite would be turned away -- not because of anything they've done, but because MAGA needs a scapegoat.
🚨 The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow morning on one of the most dangerous immigration bills in recent history.
The Laken Riley Act wouldn’t protect anyone. What it would do is create chaos that could impact millions.
Americans want and expect an end to sex-based discrimination. Publishing the Equal Rights Amendment is a stunningly simple and fundamental action that President Biden can take to help us build the world we want to see.
