We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury.

No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty.

You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse.

Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

Does anyone know of a news program that is honest and telling us the real deal of what's up with trump vs acting like it's just musk being too fast on his minimizing government, rather than telling how he's taken our country into an authoritarian government & abandoned all our allies!

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

BREAKING: The Trump regime is weaponizing the FBI against Habitat for Humanity. Their crime? Accepting EPA grants to build homes for low-income families. This is pure political persecutionβ€”targeting a charity to dismantle climate action.
