Yeah okay, abolish ICE or whatever OR

Eliminate the Department of Homeland Security altogether. Move TSA back to Transportation and restore FEMA as an independent agency. Sort the other half-dozen component agencies back into their natural homes.

Less criminal abuse and around $40 billion savings.

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Them: โ€œIโ€™m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so muchโ€

SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.

That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.

For every $1 spent on SNAP thereโ€™s a $1.50 going back into the economy.

While youโ€™re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

The catโ€™s nose and whiskers are prominently visible, framed against a plain, light-colored ceiling.

I only got to hear Todd Snider in concert one time, when a friend who wanted me to hear him invited me to the show at the Great American in SF. It was such a memorable night, and not just because Ramblin Jack Elliott was on stage with him. Sad to hear that Todd Snider has passed on, far too young.

Historians know this.

As do sociologistsโ€”Critical Race Theory was/is a very reasonable attempt at tackling issues that have never been properly addressed. The backlash didn't happen because the woke went too far, but because the just never went far enough.

It happened because we let it.
