My movie watch group is doing "9 to 5" tonight in honor of the late great Dolly Parton. Next week we'll honor Tim Curry if I can find anything of his that is streaming free anywhere. Finding free streaming movies is getting harder and harder.

Trump’s Pentagon wants $80 billion to cover the cost of his illegal war on Iran. That money could… -Extend ACA subsidies for 2.5 years -Cover SNAP benefits for 35 million people -Cover Medicaid for 23 million children It’s not about what we can afford. It’s about our priorities.

In dark times it is easy to become overwhelmed, to feel helpless. That is what your enemies want. Defy them. Deny them this, and let that be your first step toward denying them victory, and then seizing it yourself.

I'm not saying that another Warren Court will fix everything, because it won't. We'd need Landback and reparations for that. But I *am* saying that the Warren Court's mantra, "we should apply the Constitution to give the most people the most rights possible," was good and we should do that again.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

What could we do with the $12B Trump spent on the first week of war with Iran? - Housing help for ~1 million Americans - Lower prescription drug costs - Fund national parks for 3+ years - Give Pell grants to 1.6 million students - Pay the salaries of 100,000+ teachers and nurses

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
