Retired after 20+ years as an IRS Agent. I was also a union steward and officer with the federal employees union. During the 1980s, I was a union steward with the CWA and watched as Reagan and the republicans started the destruction of the middle class.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

JD Vance has said he is “doing as much of God’s work as possible” and that he is OK “if that leads to the end times”, which he says “are coming”. We are nuclear powerhouse / christian nationalst terrorist state ready to destroy in God's name! Disgusting! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

In 2025, 29 Palestinian journalists were killed by the Israel Defense Forces, making them the top killer of journalists. Reporters Without Borders calls for justice and denounces the rising number of murdered journalists worldwide. Will we stand up against this assault on press freedom? #RSFRoundUp2025

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

The sad fact is, if Tyler Robinson had used his gun to murder students at Utah Valley University, instead of just fatally shooting Charlie Kirk, Republicans wouldn’t care this much.
