Had to steal this.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Yeah, I’m leaning towards this.. more direct. Thoughts?

Jennifer Siebel Newsom: I will not raise my children to think Donald Trump is an acceptable American leader. He is a con artist, a predator, a malignant narcissist, and the worst president in our nation's history.

"It means his heart is failing."

How does something that doesn't exist fail?

This is an excellent idea!!!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Good morning.

The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated." ~ Tolstoy

My parents raised me not to tolerate racism, sexism, heterosexism, antisemitism, jingoism, classism, ageism, ableism... (and the list goes on). Call it morals, ethics, values, or just plain basic decency. Maybe call it a belief in fundamental human rights and an abiding commitment to love over hate.

#TCMParty All The President's Men is airing and I am torn between loving every dry, irascible moment of Jason Robards as Ben Bradlee, marvelling at the non-confirmation confirmations, and mourning the loss of a great newspaper in our present era.

Judicial Notice (11.02.25): Oh, SNAP Judges order the continuation of critical federal food benefits, AUSAs get in trouble for disrespecting January 6, and a sizable group of immigration lawyers leaves Biglaw.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

One of my favourite things over the last several months is discovering that you can get small runs of custom embroidered hats made very quickly and affordably.

Why are journalists and reporters unable to ask real questions demanding the truth behind the actions of all governments.
They sound like they went to the same school of journalistic teaching an actually learning nothing on how to make them accountable by tough question demanding truthful answers.

No kidding

I didn't see nothin'

Respectful celebration and remembrance of loved ones. Family members bring votives to light the darkness, food, drink, candy, flowers for the departed. Along a curved road, rows of seated figures with candles and tied bundles, layers of mountains, small church, and lake in the distance

How the US sets its poverty rate is shocking It's so horrible, it should actually piss you off

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward
