So unaffordable groceries, gas, and rent are a "hoax," but pretending tax breaks for billionaires and corporations will trickle down to us is "smart economic policy." Got it.

Swastikas are a symbol of Nazis and violent antisemitism, and they should NEVER be tolerated in our country — much less by our military. This is absolutely horrific. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing. People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.

Today, parts of the USA celebrate Indigenous People’s Day. The rest celebrate a convicted criminal who couldn’t read his navigation instruments right and returned to Spain in chains, leaving Amerigo Vespucci to figure out the hemisphere bearing Amerigo’s name (and not the other guy) wasn’t Asia.

Some folks haven’t spent decades fighting a GOP-dominated government and it shows… The GOP always lies. They are corrupted by big donors. They cover up both lies and corruption. They never admit to any wrongdoing. They project their illegal activity on to the other side. Rinse. Repeat.

You cannot afford to rent for the same reason your wages seem too low. Corporate profits. At a fundamental level, profit is the difference between a corporation’s revenue and expenses. To increase profits then, you increase revenue, decrease expenses, or both.

— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
