Yesterday, I was proud to stand with New York’s labor movement to rally for worker power and demand a city that works for all of us, not just the wealthiest few.

The Odyssey cost $250 million to make. Guess who got a tax break worth more than 30x that last year? Amazon—after firing 30,000 workers.

Trump’s interviews today about the passing of Graham made one thing clear, again, as he immediately promoted the “save” America act: He is incapable of compassion. He made it all about…. Himself. He is a empty hollow “man”

Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it.  If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.

Speaking of Mann and America (see last repost), Ebert really stepped up to the plate in his review of The Last of the Mohicans. It ends with an all-timer kicker (in my humble opinion), a perfect, almost horror-flecked appendage to the movie itself www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-...

Jul 3rd 1984 - A chemical gas which reanimates corpses was accidentally released. 📽️📅 The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
3 Screenshots from the movie "The Return of the Living Dead" (1985): First, white text on a black screen reads, "The events portrayed in this film are all true. The names are real names of real people and real organizations." Second, a wide shot of a concrete building labeled "UNEEDA Medical Supply" with several parked cars and two people standing outside; overlaid text reads, "JULY 3, 1984 5:30 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time." Third, inside a dim industrial setting, a man in a light shirt leans over as greenish gas or smoke escapes, with a sense of urgency or panic.

I don’t remember President Ford being on any currency during our Bicentenial which was a very badass event. Trump and his sycophants are gross, I cannot wait for this bizarro nightmare to end. The dumbest timeline ever, with the stupidest people in charge.

Texting is not helpful. In this context I know privilege won’t help me. I am in the field. I have been doing it since high school. I’m 61 years old. I’m well aware of the bullshit that goes on , but making a crack about women and abortion yeah that just struck me wrong.

It’s not about being a good one or a bad one. I’ll definitely own the White part, absolute unearned privilege. But I’m still a woman. It was the crack about abortion and the other stuff that pissed me off. The system works as intended. We don’t need strongly worded letters. More of us than them.

Yes, he's also a horrible person and one of the worst sheriffs in California. But it's Riverside and the county is overrun by redhats and Riverside Bros. A lot of imate deaths in Riverside jails, and a deputy busted for smuggling drugs and other contraband in one of the jails.

we used to. The Supreme Court started dismantling it below over a decade ago, death by 1000 cuts. There used to be bipartisan commissions in those states that seem to have the most didifficulty with letting anyone who isn’t white or male vote.

Decades. Dems wasted time waiting for the GOP to govern with decency and bipartisaship. From Clinton to Biden Dems gave up good policies to appease the GOP. And look where it got us. No more BS & fake outrage from the right, it's about classism greed,racism, sexiam & white supremacy

A drastic increase of unhoused people in SD, since I started work in the city and surrounding area. My clients are with one of the ACT programs, all have severe MH disorders, many dual dx with SUD. New federal regulations, state, local budget cuts hit our clients first, the most vulnerable citizens.

It’s 11:30 p.m. in a quiet Portland neighborhood. The streets are empty, but the air is thick. ICE is offloading round after round of tear gas and chemical agents into the night. Now, the frontline isn't the street; it's our living rooms. We’re trapped in our own homes, struggling to breathe.
