Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

Like the Flag the draft dodging convicted sex offender stands in front, hugs and waves every time he lies? The accused child rapist in the White House desecrates everything he touches. News outlets would be doing their job if they didn't expose the damage.

What Max Kennerly said; NOT what the fraud below said. Naturally, this false claim is salted with a fact or two, but is mostly aimed at those FOX Cable News and its imitators have groomed for 39 years to believe any lie about America's first Black Christian President.

I'm holding my breath, hoping the Supreme Court of the Heritage Foundation continues to allow free and fair elections, against the will of the self confessed serial sex offender and draft dodger in the White House.

This is on Facebook and the comments are all "there, see, he just did it to GRIFT!" but they're also the sort of people who say "go woke, go broke" so I guess the always-offended-reactionary-right contain multitudes.

When I did structural steel work, I would go to journeymen women for advice on skills I lacked at that time. Since they had to work twice as hard as most males to achieve their rating, they knew and freely shared their knowledge. The lesser skilled men did not; they called it "job security."

Did this local Republican law enforcement act on Trump's daydreams of seizing ballots to prevent the will of America being expressed by voters? And, like the felon in the White House, use imaginary claims of fraud to justify the crimes?

Good. This is MY State. The only reason the felon in the White House wants or voting data is to launch false claims of voter fraud against us who have a record of voting blue.

I always try to mention Melissa Barrera the past two years because she was the first celebrity casualty for simply speaking out against genocide. She shared an article by a scholar and that was enough to cancel her. I hope people give her the spotlight and some love. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Putting your principles first.
In September 1964, the Beatles refused to play the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida, when they learned the crowd would be segregated.
The city backed down.
The show went ahead - integrated.
Bringing that up this week for no reason in particular...
