I’ll spare you the rest of Trump’s statement where he calls Tim Waltz the R-word & hate mongers immigrants— On a day meant for gratitude, he ranted about “vermin,” & vengeance. It’s the clearest reminder yet — there is no moral bottom too low or autocratic line he won’t cross

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being "Politically Correct," and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Pope Leo is not mincing words about the “grave crimes” being committed against migrants in certain places. It’s no wonder the Vatican took a full week to publish this speech in English. But now they have, and we can spread the message. (via @colleendulle on IG & the Inside the Vatican podcast)

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?
