#LaborDay Why do we celebrate Labor Day? Without organized labor and collective bargaining…
I am passionate about democracy, equality, public education and the ethics of those in elected office. I am inspired by Ukraine and all who fight authoritarianism. I enjoy travel, history, new tech, old cars, music & golf. Yes, I have dry sense of humor.

Exactly. Thank you.
They love Trump because he is a rule breaker, so…
One day we'll have AI bosses and they will always have time for us.
It’s a cult.
Just a few short months ago, the naive & gullible were accusing us of being paranoid, overreacting, spreading conspiracy theories, of being fear mongers…
Alligator Alcatraz served its purpose. Republican politicians used it for fund raising, photo ops, and it's cruelty temporarily satisfied the bloodlust of their most rabid, racist & paranoid MAGA constituents. All of that will cost you - the American taxpayers - 💲 💲 💲 bigly.
That this is even possible makes me furious. 🤬

#Gaza #USPolitics #Israel Trump would absolutely love to give away the taxpayer's money - *your* money - so he can build a spendy gold-plated waterfront resort on the Mediterranean Sea. He probably fantasies about Netanyahu renaming Gaza to Trumpland.
Money is not speech. Greed is not good. We should tax the shit out of billionaires.
Did I miss it? Did Trump release the Epstein Files like he promised us before the election?

When the cult leader is finally gone I expect the GOP will collapse. Dozens fighting for power, copycats trying to out-Trump each other and looking ridiculous in the process. And then all the dirt will come out. It looks bad now, just wait until the fear of Trump retribution has passed.
Fetterman is such a disappointment. 😔
Galloway does us a disservice by not calling out politicians by party, because a lot of what he criticizes are Republican bedrock policies.
Narcissists suffering from Alzheimer’s/dementia predictability lash out at those around them. Trump was abusive before his mental decline, he is going to be even more horrible in coming years as the condition worsens.
#Democracy #Fascism #USPolitics #Trump #WashingtonDC Support our brothers & sisters in DC! Fight back. Next weekend.
If you aren’t following Larry Glickman, you should be.
Oppressive regime, yes. But I've had multiple Cubans tell me healthcare and education are why they tolerate the authoritarian communist regime.
It speaks to the value people place on healthcare, and their fear of not being able to afford it when needed.
Drunk again?
Sorry, I ain't buying it. Use that spin on an Evangelical congregation, but it won't work on me.
Despite crushing poverty and nonstop efforts by the U.S. to undermine it, the communist government of Cuba remains in power today because the citizens are afraid of losing their free healthcare and education. There is a lesson in this.
I love that raunchy guitar.

America had a cartoonishly bad presidential candidate last year. He actually got elected and now we are screwed.

Wow. No words, just anger. Add *that* to the radioactive waste they allowed to pollute St Louis roads. And the radioactive waste they buried in landfills that is leaking into groundwater & streams, now causing cancer in St Louis county residents. Politicians have promised a fix for decades. 😡

SMH
The Mango Mussolini will have millions of Americans rooting for Europe.

Yep. Youngkin is term limited, but his batshit-crazy Trump-humping MAGA Lieutenant Governor is running against Spanberger.
Republican criticism is always projecting. Always.

I'm pretty sure that what motivates the voters in a metropolitan area like NYC is different than what motivates voters in a state like Virginia. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. The voters in those two wildly different places could be exactly the same.
It's like they are tailoring their campaigns and messaging to the local voters. Crazy, huh?

They’ll release parts where Trump’s name has been removed. MAGA will fall for it. #TamperingWithEvidence

#History #Documentary #Archeology #Smithsonian On the border between Virginia & North Carolina, today the Great Dismal Swamp covers 750 square miles. Virtually impenetrable, it was even larger 200 years ago. Archeologists have now found evidence of communities built deep within by escaped slaves.
Then he’s back where he belongs, with his BFF Jeffrey Epstein.
Before you cheer too loudly, know that Iowa Republicans will nominate someone even worse than Joni Ernst to replace her.
Another one of many alarming events that has occurred during the second coming of Trump.
Trump has the National Guard doing landscaping and the VP preparing for a new sofa. (The last sofa was removed after complaining about sexual assault.) 🤪
Long before the internet, postcards were much like social media today, a way to share your experiences. Landscapes, famous places, you’ve seen the pretty postcards. Some postcards were very disturbing - white Americans proud of lynching black men. #Documentary #Racism #History #Photography
This is sooo wrong, and wrong on so many levels.

Mayan - The great pyramid of Calakmul, in the Mexican state of Campeche. The city went into decline in the early ninth century. No inscriptions dated later than 909 have been found.

When the tariffs are based on Trump’s whims or extortion attempts and not an actual economic strategy, that kind of business confusion happens.
To create controversy and drive clicks, Bill Maher will say increasing controversial things until he’s become part-time MAGA.
Fake colleges will become an even bigger moneymaking scam.
Convincing the government hating wing of the GOP that you are *intentionally* sabotaging government services, and you’re not simply incompetent bozos, was a *major* breakthrough for Republican politicians.
Being crazy isn’t a negative with Republican voters.
More Republican states respond to Trump’s call, and join Texas in rigging the 2026 election to continue Trump’s unbridled power.
Wow. Friends, I’m feeling a little more hopeful this morning. A left-center friend who lives in a very Republican rural area of a purple state told me that people around him are *really* pissed off at Trump - even talking about going to a protest on Labor Day. 😳 🤞🏼
Republicans want you to see “law and order”, not expensive, highly trained killing machines doing lawn work.
#USPolitics #History The collapse of empires usually caused by one or more of nine causes; economic instability, corruption/incompetence, inequality, resource depletion, military defeats, succession crises, civil war, disease, or climate change. Trump is working on at least seven of them.
If God says Trump is dead, he must be dead.

“We are all going to die” wasn’t a winning slogan after all.
Every post that criticizes Obama, Biden, Clinton, Harris or any Democrat takes our focus away from the wrecking ball actually destroying American democracy right now. As imperfect as they may have been, save your criticism for a safer point in the future.
Following Trump’s lead and instructions, the Republican Party has adopted a “win at any cost” strategy. Unchecked, there is no doubt that this approach will lead to the end of our democracy.
This guy is so creepy.
