I love democracy, I love cats and weird things and space, and I'll take garlic with a side of mayo

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

There's a reason democracies don't let people who tried coups back into power.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1977, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 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”?
