I spoke in Warren County, Indiana tonight. The organizer of the event said they usually have around 30 folks who come to their holiday supper. Tonight there were 150 people there.

Things are changing. Especially in red states.

Breaking: The US lost 32,000 jobs in November, far worse than expected.

Small businesses were the hardest hit.

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they canโ€™t succeed, especially young men.

It's not their fault. Itโ€™s Washingtonโ€™s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to:

1) infringe our rights
2) terrorize our communities
3) disappear legal residents
4) smash into cars & private homes
5) tackle & detain lawmakers

Social media is full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped results โ€” while Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads.

As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they donโ€™t need (and donโ€™t deserve) free advertising on our social feeds.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

My trainees are sick of me saying that we have the second worst health care system ever created. (The first being USA pre-Obamacare.) Here is a stellar summary of our many problems, where indeed money has become the mission.

Developed initially to target and kill tumors, they are now being engineered to target cells that are contributing to autoimmune diseases, like antibody-producing B cells.

Healthcare Workers vs Hunger Healthcare workers vs Hunger is an annual friendly competition between teams of healthcare workers to help relieve food insecurity.

5 years ago I started a team competition on Twitter to raise $ to fight hunger.

@tmprowell.bsky.social gave us a hashtag & much needed organization

Our team of teen volunteers work wonders in the background & weโ€™ve raised >$3.1 million!

Competition starts tomorrow, join us?

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies

2. Continue building union power

3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.

Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.
