The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

A meme that reads Me when I realize practicing self-care challenges capitalist narratives of constant productivity with an image of Margot Robbie from the Barbie movie saying Do you guys ever think about how self-care acts as political defiance by rejecting the culture of burnout? Meme by Meg Slay

Take care of yourselves this weekend. Self care is resistance 🖤

She pretty well summed it all up 👇👇👇👇👇

“Police have used Ring footage to spy on protestors, and obtained footage without a warrant or consent… It is easy to imagine [cops] will use their renewed access to Ring information to find people who have had abortions or track down people for immigration enforcement” - @mguariglia.bsky.social

Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesn’t lie—people do. A buried NSA‑authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

This should be a Five Alarm Fire on every G'ddamned media outlet in the world.

I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

Agreed. We all know gerrymandering is wrong. Let the GOP make the first move on this one. I’m all for proactive response, but not in this case. Have a plan but don’t enact it yet.

I would deeply enjoy supervising a PhD thesis about this advertisement… please get in touch 😅

(Yes, it’s a real advertisement!)

Right there with you.

STUDY: Denmark tracked over a million children for 21 years, and found vaccines linked to zero extra cases of autism, asthma, or 48 other conditions.

Vaccines are safe, effective, and the best way to eradicate preventable disease. Period.

This was so good. I hope @maddow.msnbc.com plays it on her show tomorrow night.

Iconic punk band pulls out of festival over organizer’s Trump donations This band has historically expressed its opposition for Donald Trump, even performing at rallies against him.

Dropkick Murphys will no longer perform at Punk in the Park.

I love this band more everyday.

Our 13 yr old Lab does the Walk n Poop. Step-poop nugget-step-poop nugget-step step-poop nugget. Sometimes while in the house. No warning.

That is so wrong!

Don’t they have an ICE deportation contract? Please, stay out of California.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Rude!

Hitting easy targets with no concern for citizens. Currently targeting California, but coming to your state soon.

Tell a friend to tell a friend NO buying produce July 16,17 & 18th. #USA #Strike #KeepGoing #Cali #California

So much for that “line.”

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard.
This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

‼️PASS IT IN: The majority shareholders in private prison companies GEO Group and CoreCivic that operate Trumps concentration camps are Vanguard, Black Rock, State Street and Goldman Sachs. THESE are the oligarchs who own Trump, are getting tax breaks, and exploiting the misery of humans for profit.

direction.

Small town living - I took my car to the shop and walked 2 blocks to the local grocery store. On the way there I got a call from a friend asking why I was walking down the road. On the way back a stranger with grandma energy stopped to see if I wanted a ride. #kindness
