In this country there should be no such thing as “working poor”.
Yet here we are. Republicans are set to dismantle protections for the most vulnerable and are to continuing to up end our economies, communities, livelihoods, and security. All to make the wealthy wealthier. It is reprehensible.

Sadly, I fear SCOTUS will have a “hold my beer” moment on this… I desperately hope I am wrong. I am sorry that the world is burning and seems to like oppression more than equity.

Bondi need to be impeached and to have her law license revoked if she is advocating for lawlessness and not respecting judge’s orders. She is not in a position to make the law.

This is so absolutely disconcerting and absurd. HOW on earth is it presidential to bully and raise your voice and interrupt a head of state from a foreign county that has been (hopefully remains) an ally.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I hope you all feel better soon!

Thank you for being a great human!

Didn’t we all know that was happening when he was voting no on appointments?

While I agree and wish she had done something earlier and there are loads of places that she is still doing things that make the dismantling of our government possible… I am going to encourage and support any moment that she is subverting the will of this administration and the unelected bureaucrat.

Why does everyday need to be more and more exhausting? Why is cruelty so pervasively the point?

Shine brightly and spread compassion.

Believe the experiences of others.

Work together to lighten the load and make something beautiful.

Do something to make the life of even one person brighter.

I wish this wasn’t as true as it is. Especially since it seems like there is so little political will to stop them from destroying it all.

Same.

Exactly this.

They are completely feckless… but have power… so harm will come to many and they anticipate that they act with impunity. Let us hope that isn’t true and we can rise together to help each other and hold them accountable.

Be kind. Show love. Teach compassion.

Wow… this is a low I didn’t have on my bingo card.
An 11 yo child died by suicide due to bullying about her families immigration status and this is what is what the White House is putting out. This is what the billionaire in coup puts out. Make no mistake. Children model the adults they witness.

Is water wet?

I mean he has done that too, or denied knowing them.

I truly hope they both win… and I also know how strong the gerrymandering was in redrawing districts. It will take a lot of education and getting out the vote.

CFPB is here to to protect against scams and exploitation… CFPB is here to look out for “the little guy”… this is an attack on all of us.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

I can understand that… but it feels like it would be more diabolical.

I would love to see Denmark buy Florida…

Sending you and your wife all my love! I am so sorry we are living in such a toxic time and that bigots are emboldened.

It is weird to live in a country that is actively trying to undermine our government and the humans who have dedicated their lives to ensure that we are protected. Private for profit businesses are always going to look out for themselves, their boards, and their shareholders.

if you wanted to crash the economy, embolden criminals, aid our enemies and hurt people, these are the exact policies you’d enact
