We should be able to live without violence. I am liberal, from Chicago, and worked in public health. I read, swim, crochet, attend protest rallies, bake desserts, and garden. Just adopted a 6 yr old pup! I won't follow if you don't post. No DMs.

Keep this information "front and center": In 2020, Trump orchestrated a violent mob to attack the US Capitol building in an attempt to overthrow the United States' 2019 presidential election. Five people died (one police officer), and 174 police officers were seriously wounded.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine. They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts. Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.

For 194 years, the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper declined to offer high-office endorsements. Until now. The newspaper noted that Ramaswamy’s use of an ad exploiting Acton’s traumatic youth “crossed a line” and “we have a responsibility to show it.” www.huffpost.com/entry/clevel...

Enough, America, enough. If you think the upcoming vote is about which party is in power, you are terribly wrong. Every awful thing said by GOP candidates in the last ten days has been said because they think that is what YOU want to hear. YOUR vote is the only way to tell them they are wrong.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

I wish I'd made videos of my then two-year-old daughter singing along with Freddie Mercury to Queen songs as a tiny child. She's 21 now, and still singing for her life. This little girl's progression is adorable and incredible. Belt that Tina Turner, Kiddo!

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"
