There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Trump has: -Cut protections for national monuments to open them up for mining -Pushed to open up our national forests for construction and logging -Proposed building data centers on thousands of acres of federal lands Nothing is sacred to this regime. It acts solely on behalf of the oligarchy.

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

McDonald's is now reportedly pressuring franchisees to use AI to price food. Its CEO raked in $20.6M last year, over 1,000x the median McDonald's worker pay of $19,020. And they remain one of the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients. I'm not lovin' it.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Flamingos are not pink. They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae. This is a baby flamingo. Original post

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

I made about 3 quarts of chicken stock in the slow cooker overnight, using skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs with garlic, onion, carrot, and celery. Now, I'll shred the chicken and prep all of the veggies to mix in with the stock for my chicken noodle soup and finish it out in the slow cooker❣️🤓❤️

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.
