It’s been 3,174 days since I escaped corporate life. I was 44. My children were tiny. Now they're teenagers.

Today I turn 53, and we are infinitely happier here, in our farmhouse by the ocean. No more meetings. No more commute.

If I can escape, you can too (because I'm a dumbass). #Life #Art

The way we bring jobs back to Americans is by investing in ambitious, innovative projects like diversifying our energy sector and national high-speed rail.

We are falling behind China on these things.

We can compete with China AND create good paying jobs.

Do they still tour??

a brown and white bulldog puppy sits on a counter. the computer monitor, pamphlets and model of an animal skull in the background tell us he's in a vet's office. the puppy is hunched over and begrudgingly looking over at you with an expression of disdain.

This is Tuna. You have once again taken him to the vet instead of the park. Fool him once, shame on you. Fool him twice, even more shame on you. 13/10 (IG: tunathekahuna)

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

I guess we have to get a turtle!

"What career matches your set of skills?" In the 15th - 19th centuries, many wealthy people hired "garden hermits," who were like real-life garden 'gnomes.' They would dress like druids, live in a small shack in the garden, and offer wise counsel and guest entertainment.

There’s no description of the Dragula given in the song Dragula so it’s entirely possible that it’s just a normal sedan with a funny name

Autocrats always try to dismantle universities and other sites of free thought. But the current effort to destroy American institutions is also a reactionary backlash against real progress on racial justice in this country. Backlash only happens when movements are winning the argument.

Some of those who work forces (physicists) are the same who burn crosses (mathematicians examing intersections of correlations)

A lot of songs are sung about the Freedom of Speech being the most fundamental freedom. They write poems about the Second Amendment being the one that undergirds the others.

But it’s really due process that’s the thing. Without due process, most of the other rights don’t really matter.

AOC and Bernie in front of the rally crowd in Denver

Zoomed out crowd shot of 34,000 people in downtown Denver with Colorado mountains in the background

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Older guy in a suit was on the elevator staring intense and annoyed at his phone and when he walked off I saw that he was looking at a pasta recipe.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.
