Corporations should be heavily taxed. They should not be able to put $$ in politician's pockets.

I love wearable art, and regularly buy from a local artist. One shopping spree meant she didn't have to go out to the local market in the heat in hopes she would make a sale.

💚 Your artist and designer friends probably aren't as full of themselves as you think.

Please remember: they share their work and accomplishments all the time as a matter of survival. No one else will be their hype man.

That grant? It's the only thing keeping them going during these slow months.

This flashy opportunity? They have been trying to make it happen for a year with only hope to keep them going and it's finally happening!

That exhibit? It's the only one they got into out of the 15 they submitted for.

That new painting they posted? They kinda need it to sell so they can pay the rent next month.

So be kind in your thoughts. Imagine if your job required social media presence on four platforms to make sure ends meet.

And if you see your friends or acquaintances post art that you like, please share it! It can make all the difference sometimes.

💚

Very. Between that and surveillance and global warming, I'm glad I'm old--and very glad I chose to not have kids.

I live in the most rural part of Arkansas. My state highway is the least traveled. And yet--AND YET--there is a Flock camera along it. And within ten miles, two more! It really creeps me out!

Incredibly intricate. Loved the way the gates pivoted and then were reused as bridges. Must have taken ages testing out each segment and then putting them together.

This is ridiculous. They are only doing this so the rich can skim more off the top.

EXCELLENT idea! The next question I would ask is: "Why aren't you bilingual?" since most racists can only speak English.

I think Democratic candidates should be emphasizing this--and how they will, once elected, vote to rescind these cuts.

Yes I do. In the 1960s there were liberal Republicans, who were fiscally conservative but progressive on social issues. Sen. Charles Percy of Illinois is an example.

I have no problem with Jewish people. I have a problem with a PAC that supports a government that is working against the interests of all people in the Middle East. I'm against all PACs, in fact.

Plus it makes Congressional districts long and unwieldy. Those parts that are isolated from the rest are neglected. Example: Newton County AR is in AR 4, which includes all of southwest AR--and yet we are closer to MO than we are to Texarkana.

I think it is because their world is centered on themselves, their wants and their needs. The GOP wasn't always this way, but in my lifetime, it has evolved to this.

It is vital that El-Sayed wins, I think. We must break the stranglehold of AIPAC and Christian Nationalism.

I do give a d'mn. I could see the writing on the wall and chose to not have children because I was unwilling to subject them to this. For the ones here, I help as I can-giving land and money to help them out.

Ban all corporate donations and also PAC donations. I realize there are progressive PACs as well as conservative ones, but I think we need to go back to individual donations only. And maybe a cap on how much total a candidate can have to spend on a campaign.

Katie's name will go down in history for having the courage to demand release of the Epstein Files and getting them released to a judge.

Which is why we need a STRONG Democratic Party willing to step up to the oligarchs and their hirelings.

Read the WPA Slave Narratives, the abolitionist newspapers, and the biographies of people like Frederick Douglass, and you'll know what a horrendous time they had while enslaved.

I once asked my mother why she had me nearly ten years after my brother was born. She said it was so I could look after her in her old age. I did not do that--she was able to live independently for her life. I plan to also live independently as long as I can.

If this were a blue collar worker who suddenly owned a lot of property when his salary is low, that worker would be immediately investigated and prosecuted. Paxton has connections, so he thinks he can get away with it.

Never trusted corporate Dems, because they are still in the service of the oligarchs and could care less about the People.
