It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

honestly? the entire national media apparatus and so so many people give the GOP a pass because “they’re just like that.” but they’re freaks who live in fear of holding a town hall & making the president cranky & i think a lot more people could stand to call GOP reps daily & remind them they suck.

If you moved to a flood-prone area & you were told not to get flood insurance while people talked down on those advocating for flood insurance, then your house flooded, would you continue to take flood advice from the anti-flood insurance crowd? No So why are Dems doing the political equivalent?

REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That's the way it's supposed to be.
No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Pope Francis is a huge part of the reason I have a faith in a high power and his pushing to make the church more accepting of others I hope will inspire future generations of Catholic to rid themselves of the rules that don’t follow the actual teachings of Christ and try to radically lovehelp others

The Pope has passed away at 88. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was the first Jesuit, first person from the Americas, and the first person from the Southern Hemisphere to serve in the Chair of St. Peter. A lot of things will be said today, but this is important: he advanced the conversation on LGBTQ rights.
