I feel like a little blue Gen X dragonfly born on a lake that is populated by red critters who consume right-wing propaganda all the live-long day and stubbornly recite talking points that are at odds with their own reality and values.

CEO compensation has increased 1,316% since 1978. And worker compensation? Just 28%. The system is rigged. We need to start taxing the rich so they pay their fair share.

This is deeply concerning. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has sent observers to monitor every U.S. federal election for the past two decades. Governors need to pick up the phone and find out if an invitation extended by leaders of states can fill that federal gap.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Nicotine products like pouches and patches are being promoted for cognitive enhancement, stress reduction, improved athletic performance and much more – with little scientific evidence.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

1,200,000 Americans dies from COVID. Trump was responsible for letting it rip by promoting conflicting messages about phony cures, refusing masks and closures and questioning the vaccine. Remember he suggested drinking bleach and shining a light on it...such a moron.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

We’ve now reached the point of “black site” hearings – secret, illegal hearings as part of Trump & Stephen Miller’s wretched crusade to detain & deport our immigrant neighbors. Quite literally: hidden tribunals that disappear people.

A reporter from The City Reporter was threatened with arrest while attempting to observe comings and goings from the new courtrooms, which have left advocates mystified and fearing the worst.

How can our President go to a meeting of World Leaders and threaten to obliterate a whole country without Congress calling an emergency session to impeach him? Come on, people. This guy is nuts & is not what we want for a leader. Even his former voters have had enough.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

So Trump has decided he can label everything he wants as a national security necessity: his ballroom, his arch, his banning of journalists and a free press. Don't doubt that he will try to undermine or even stop midterm voting as a national security risk. Note: It's all a lie.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I read Ayn Rand as a teenager. I also read The Satanic Bible by Anton Lavey. The themes were similar. You do you. Only concern yourself with your own needs and desires and don't worry about others. 👿I have come to believe their philosophy is the ROOT OF EVIL. 👿
