A strong, fair, and just economy is like a tide that raises all boats and ducks. Sorry about the duck thing. I'll just duck out now. A website about writing I manage. https://www.screenwritingforums.com/ #voteblue I'm not really a duck. Or am I?

I’m watching Tom Lamas interview Donald Trump. If there was ever anyone more out of touch with reality, I don’t know who it could be. Donald Trump is literally an insane dictator. Out of touch of reality.

Nancy Pelosi warns press freedom is under attack after the arrest of an independent journalist, and on the same day the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, conducted mass layoffs of its reporters and editors worldwide.

Kristi Noem is an absolute disgrace. And if Mike Johnson is too big of a coward to impeach her, we will!

Every week it's something new. Epstein, ICE, grift, destroy another American institution. It's fukkin exhausting and it doesn't seem like anyone, R or D is doing a damn thing about it. I think we're gonna have to save ourselves, no one is coming to help. I'll never give up the fight, we can do this!

How many boxes need to be checked for a banana republic dictator wannabe to actually gain the oligarch throne?

So far:

β€’ Became filthy rich robbing the US
β€’ Formed FΓΌhrer's 'police' force
β€’ Invaded states paramilitarily
β€’ Elections takeover begun
β€’ Unchecked power sought
β€’ Unaliving citizens begun

If only people had paid closer attention to those warning us that the means to challenging every election result they don't agree with has already been put into place in many states by the GOP.

Let me get this straight.
America...
...is arresting journalists
...is kidnapping citizens with no charges
...is running concentration camps
...is killing protestors
...is threatening allies
...is invading neighbours
...
Are we waiting for photos of gas chambers?

funny how the man who cost the Washington Post hundreds of thousands in subscriptions by canceling the paper's presidential endorsementβ€”almost certainly the most destructive decision in the history of the paper, if not journalism itselfβ€”still has his job

Trying to keep your bills manageable this winter?

As the cold drives energy costs up, Boston’s city-run Boston Community Choice Electricity program can help ease the burden. Basic and Standard plans cost less than Eversource, with no change to your service.

A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to β€œcapture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
