Retiree here for political followings, mostly just to stay informed and current. Since we can't save posts, I repost instead to be able to find and share them later. I don't recommend following me, this acct is just a file cabinet for political activity.

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.
Can the president use taxpayer funds to air his old campaign ads on TV?

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the immigrant to be unwelcome, the needy to be called "parasites," all while billionaires get richer, we've completely disregarded the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

If you want other human beings to be treated in a way that you’d refuse to be treated, then I’m not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs. You’ve already told me what they are by wanting other human beings to be treated in a way that you’d refuse to be treated.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

If you are overwhelmed by all the cruelty and tempted into hopelessness, you are a good person and on the right side of history. Those in power want nothing more than to steal your hope and drive you into apathy. Keeping your empathy and hope alive is an act of resistance.

Sure, the top 1% owns about 1/3 of all of the net wealth in the country (and far more than they did in 1990), but I’ll bet you never considered how grievously oppressed you are by the 1% at the BOTTOM of the socio-economic ladder! Some typically mind bending insights from the OR GOP here.

Everyone loves to rage about the top 1%. They have the money, the houses, the influence. Fair enough.
But on a day-to-day basis, the people most actively making life more expensive and less livable for regular working people are the bottom 1%.

I found another spin-off of a little free library in our neighborhood yesterday: a "Free Little Dog House" with treats, poop bags and tennis balls for pups. #BoiseKind
A cute little wooden house on a post. It's painted cheerful colors with "Free Little Dog House: Give a treat and take a treat for Wrigley and Murphy" painted on a bone shape above the open-air shelves. Two jars hold dog waste bags and dog treats are on one shelf, and three tennis balls are below that. At the base is a stand with a water dish in it.
