Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

American workers are more than 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s. But all of the economic gains are going straight to the top. Workers deserve more. It’s time for a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay.

🌿☕ The word flower comes from the Roman Goddess of flowers Flora, & the English word for flour 🍞. The echo of Roman history remaining in words like florist & flourish Some flowers can hear approaching bees & quickly make nectar sweeter in response to the sound 🐝 🌺 I think that's rather lovely 🌹

observing the bird feeder from my porch I see male cardinals are the epitome of the patriarchy. chickadees and tufted titmice are the cool kids breaking all the rules. the largest of gathering, the mourning doves are the humblest. house finches are the guests no one invited. #birding for amateurs
