Democracy dies not in darkness, but on Prime Time after the ads for a better fresher clean...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Every politician who has ever voted or will vote to raise the retirement age and then every politician who has voted to try to get rid of Social Security, not just needs to be voted out, but they need to be put in jail for trying to steal from seniors

You'd think they'd be embarrassed - but they're not. They're proud of him and all of his dementia-addled narcissism, stupidity, and hate. That's the part that confuses me, because I'm not just embarrassed, I'm mortified and ashamed.

Happy Sunday! Ready for some good news? Today I wrote about our country’s success in preventing the spread of rabies. And when we’ve really committed to it, we haven’t just contained this stuff. We’ve erased it. There’s a few lessons we can take from this and apply to our politics. (Link below)

Is the “worst of the worst" parents that escort their children to school? ICE is back arresting parents at school bus stops, again! WTF! As a parent who drives his kid to school I refuse to accept or normalize this disgusting immoral behavior from a rogue agency. This needs to stop!
