Old people should be banned from elected office. The young folks who will need to live with our decisions need to be in the driver's seat. We had our turn. Mandatory retirement at 65 seems reasonable. Elders do not have to be in office to provide experience and support.

Althia Raj: Whatever good is in Mark Carney’s Building Canada Strong Act is poisoned by the toxic rest

Because the federal government doesn't seriously fund rail travel and would rather pump billions of dollars in subsidies into airline companies that shit on customers daily. And because the automobile lobby has spent decades fighting rail spending at local, state, and federal levels. Next question.

When the Trump administration started dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system earlier this year, scientists, fishermen and Congress fought back. On Saturday, a 238-foot ship set sail to reinstall the first batch of monitors in the waters of the Pacific.

Communist China builds much better affordable electric cars than the “capitalist” US. Americans are forced to pay more for inferior products because the US is not allowing Chinese cars to be sold here. American companies would be forced to build better cars if the market was not protected.

Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.

Come join us next week and make your voice heard!

Why is Natalie Harp news worthy? Because she is the physical proof of Trump's medical and psychological collapse. A demented and dying POTUS is big news, and MAGA can't gloss over the fact that he requires a full time nurse to change his diapers, install his leg braces, and feed his infinite ego.

This rental car has sensors that track your eye movements. If you look to the side - say to look at a road sign - it chides you to focus on the road. If you yawn, it tells you are drowsy and should stop driving. Very annoying. I wonder if it can sense auto-cidal rage.
