“Governments are making wrong choices to pander to the elite and defend wealth while repressing people’s rights and anger at how so many of their lives are becoming unaffordable and unbearable.”

Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state. Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process. Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

I have had every vaccine & booster. Yesterday I had the new COVID and flu vaccine. No arm pain & nothing today. Had the summer COVID booster. I had pneumonia vaccine last year. I had the RSV last year too. I have had the shingles vaccine. I am going to talk about the MMR at my next checkup.

Let me state the obvious that seemingly needs restated. You can BOTH condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, and still disagree with what he said. This is the USA.

There’s a terrible situation at an ICE facility in Chicago. ICE GOONS are forcefully arresting people, pushing through protesters, and even lobbing tear gas at reporters.

Converted the money I saved by cancelling my D+/Hulu/ESPN bundle into a shiny, new, PBS Passport subscription! Holy crapola, there are a LOT of available shows! 🤗 If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen with Julia Child.

EVERY ECONOMIST ON EARTH told us, clearly, BEFORE THE ELECTION, that moron fool Trump's 1930's style Trade Tariff War was A FOOLS ERRAND that would CRASH THE ECONOMY. Harris told us, Obama told us, ALL REAL NEWS stations told us ( NOT FOX/RW propaganda networks ), that TRUMP WOULD KILL THE ECONOMY!!

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

There's much worse about to come than just silencing Jimmy Kimmel
The FCC chairman just threatened to pull ABC’s license because of a comment Jimmy Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk, and ABC just indefinitely took him off the air. This is the sort of thing you’d expect...

Disney Stock ending the day down and will likely drop until they declare bankruptcy and long after. 📉 The Disney brand is TOXIC now and like Putin , it will always be seen as slimey Nazi evil. 🤷 Disney are the bad guys now like Tesla. Their European & Asian parks will go bankrupt. #EpcotEpstein
