Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words: “Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.” That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Yes this. We need to ask, "What are the steps that we can take now the preserve fair and effective elections in 2026 and 2028? and then throw ourselves into that work.

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

Stephen Miller is definitely weak and puny.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
