1. Rick Steves has spent $2 million of his own money to rescue a single-screen theater in Edmonds, WA. This is part of a multi-million-dollar effort he has made to invest in community properties in order to preserve local institutions and keep them serving the communities they were built for.

Gloria Steinem has passed away. Long ago, my parents used to force me to go to church each Sunday. One time the pastor made a comment about "people who were destroying America, like Carl Sagan and Gloria Steinem." I liked Carl Sagan. Gloria Steinem was new to me. I took it as a recommendation.
My original trade paperback of Gloria Steinem's "Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions" (1st edition, 1983).

Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner met today to see what they have in common. It turns out to be only one thing: A stupefying fear of progressive Democrats accomplishing lots of things that will help people.

No problem, Darline. We don’t need senators who are “informed on national security.“ We just need senators who are related to dead guys who were senators.

Republicans took away health care for millions of Americans. They didn't do it because the country couldn't afford it. They did it because their super-rich donors wanted to become super-richer.

After I published this piece calling journalists toadies and suck-ups if they hold a correspondents’ dinner with Trump as guest of honor, I thought of one way they could redeem themselves: When Trump gets up to speak, shout in unison: “Quiet, Piggy!”

The average U.S. gasoline price is $4.12 a gallon. It was $2.37 when Biden left office 15 months ago. The Trump regime wants you to think a 74% increase in the price of gas is no big deal. It is.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

It's hilarious when Americans pity my Norwegian tax rate. And yes. We pay more to the state. In return, we get free healthcare, free college, and 49 weeks of fully paid parental leave. We do not have to crowd-fund our cancer treatments. Your 'low taxes' just mean you pay private corporations a premium for the privilege of still going broke when you get sick. Our system is an investment in human dignity. Yours is a GoFundMe waiting to happen. The math is really not that complicated.
