Please call your congressperson and ask them if they know it’s actually their job to stop billions of taxpayer dollars from being funneled into make-believe boards of peace

…and to stop the president from unilaterally declaring war

…and to demand compliance with the Epstein files Transparency Act

Sure feels that way

Only in Lawless America. It's disgraceful!!

Headline today in NYTimes: “Labor Secretary's Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports”

More USA going for the gold
in immorality
As brought to you by old men and the GOP

Two headlines back-to-back in Seattle Times today: 1) "Amazon dethrones retail giant as world's biggest company by sales" 2) "U.S. runs record trade deficit in goods, despite Trump's tariffs policy"

For sure these two stories are linked

1) stop using Amazon (definitely cancel your Prime membership)
2) start buying small & local

(btw, anyone notice that Amazon somehow is getting off easy on tariffs? Does "Melania" $70M ring a bell?)

Seattle Times headline today: “One WA CEO makes 1,794 times his average employee. Here's why”

Image shows top CEO pay to employee ratio from Seattle Times Company: Starbucks CEO: Brian Niccol Pay ratio: 1,749 to 1 Compensation: ~$31,000,000 (…partly due to ridiculous CEO salary and partly due to underpaid employees. Next CEO, Satya from Microsoft, in the table gets paid more, ~$96,400,000!!, but MS employees also average much higher pay)

CEOs making obscene amounts of pay…

When will Americans wake up and realize it’s time to tax the rich

Last Week Tonight: #FuckICE

Headline in NYTimes today: “Documents Show E.P.A. Plans to Loosen Mercury Rules for Coal Plants”

Does MAHA hate people?
Themselves?

People are going to die

People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities.

We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.

Headline in Seattle Times today: “Trump family business files for trademark rights on any airports using the president's name”

wtf

Think if was a requirement for using “Washington”

From the same article in NYTimes today: "First we need to push back on the lies; then crush the pedo/trafficking narrative; then rebuild your image as philanthropist," Mr. Bannon wrote to Mr. Epstein in April 2019

From the same article

Makes you want to puke. Then again, everything the smarmy, sleazy, Bannon & Epstein did fits that classification

put up two, identical cameras near each other and only wipe down one

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

This goddamn IDIOT.... I refuse to pay tariffs-
I'll just sit back and wait till he dies or is replaced with someone with a functioning brain-

cause this guy's brain doesn't.

and
lies, scams and extreme corruption

NYTimes headline today: "Despite Epstein's Toxicity, Steve Bannon Stood by Him, Texts Indicate"

I mean, how do they keep a straight face.

Also, the whole Qanon nonsense was really a True Crime story about GOP and billionaires

Obama clarifies that “aliens are real” merely due to the statistical likelihood of the vastness of the universe…

But “I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak

The birthday-party invitation said “siblings welcome,” which means you can bring your 11-month-old son while your husband is out of town.

Your daughter is hospitalized in intensive care and has a long recovery period.

Eight years later, your son is diagnosed with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a rare measles complication that leads to irreversible degeneration of the brain.
He will continue to lose brain function, resulting in seizures, severe dementia, and, in a matter of two or three years, death.

Headline in today’s NYTimes: “ICE Tried to Justify a Minneapolis Shooting. Its Story Unraveled. The collapse of the Trump administration's version of events in the case was another instance of an account of a shooting that was later contradicted.”

Everything about this administration and especially ICE is a lie

No wonder they feel compelled to wear masks

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

It should be obvious that criticizing ICE—or any government agency—on social media is protected by the First Amendment.

It is not a crime.

Tech companies must not comply with sweeping government demands that seek to unmask users simply for expressing their opinions online.

The longtime girlfriend and sex-trafficking associate of Jeffrey Epstein was revealed Friday to have lied on her naturalization documents, potentially compromising her U.S. citizenship.
