Why is it hard for corporations to do the right thing?
RIP Graham Greene 🖤🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
Beautiful

So true!
Donald Trump lashed out at Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley after the “blue slip” custom was used to block his former personal lawyer from becoming the U.S. attorney for New Jersey. He cannot stand it when a Republican goes against him
Just love this kitty she is my constant companion. If I'm in the recliner she's in the recliner if I'm in the bed she's in the bed with me. She has started sleeping in between the pillows so she can be close to me and near my face. Stormy is a very special kitty who I adore🧡🧡
Nancy Mace tried to get this kid killed, by claiming he was carrying a rifle and broadcasting his photo on Twitter, when it was obviously an umbrella. In a moment of crisis, she panicked. Hysterics have no place in leadership and no place in the governor’s office.
One angry constituent in a deep-red state garnered loud applause when confronting Rep. Mark Alford (R-Missouri) over his support for 45 During a Monday night town hall in Bolivar, Missouri, a former firefighter who now owns a farm in Missouri began his comment to Alford by saying he was "p------"
WH is vouching for45's health by a disgraced doctor who gave up his full medical license & was stripped of his military rank after a series of scandals. It issued a statement in the name of Ronny Jackson & not that of the actual White House physician. He's a drug user & alcoholic & a womanizer😡

Good morning friends it's even chillier today than it was yesterday had to wear a sweatshirt and a flannel shirt. It was only 50 degrees outside earlier this morning. I am not complaining but this weather is crazy. It can't go from 80's and 90's to the 50's🤣🥶 Have a great day folks Coffees On☕☕

A 53-year-old pastor was arrested in Durham Wednesday after a federal indictment accused him of forcing recruits into nonstop labor, denying sleep, food or freedom while they collected millions of dollars in donations that he spent on luxury cars and boats, the Justice Department reported Wednesday.
Happy birthday to Jack Kirby.
I don't think I'll ever forgive the people who continually vote for and uphold this death cult. Something I feel intensely on days when I read about innocent children who were slaughtered at school.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
In 1850, Minnesota and the US govt used starvation to steal Ojibwe land. Through treaties, the U.S. gov owed tribes annual payments, often made in goods. That year, the gov moved the treaty payment 285 miles west to Minnesota to get Ojibwe people...

Day 6 of food poisoning. Zero stars. Do not recommend. Hoping I can get into a doc today, 'cause this is legit not as fun as the brochure made it out to be.
If I see a company branded cybertruck driving around, I’m going to avoid that business for the rest of my life.
Once again, here is my video as I died and went to PARADISE for a a day, in beautiful Victoria Canada. Enjoy.
The lack of science literacy in this country is intentional.
Just admit it: You love your guns more than your children. The first step is acknowledging the problem.
Tuesday was Travis Kelce’s best day for jersey sales since the Super Bowl, sports merchandise retailer Fanatics told Forbes.
We are the only developed country where mass shootings happen on a regular basis. It doesn’t have to be this way.
There is nothing radical about assault weapon control! There’s nothing radical about keeping our children safe! How is it that our country is the only one with this problem!?! RADICAL!?!
That Christian nationalist pastor can fuck right off and then fuck off again

CDC Director Susan Monarez was dismissed by the White House after just four weeks in office. Her lawyers argue that her ouster is illegal, since a Senate-confirmed director can only be removed by the President himself! #ProudBlue #DemVoirce1
Scientific American: For 20 years, Denmark conducted a large and meticulous study of whether aluminum in vaccines caused chronic childhood diseases. The data was clear: It did not. Malignant crackpot RDK Jr wanted a retraction of the study. The Annals of Internal Medicine said no.

🐅🎣 In Primorsky Krai, Russia, a tiger approached some fishermen, watched them for a long time, then took a bucket of their fish and calmly walked away. I think they should be thankful that he limited himself to just the fish.
Never forget, wildlife are always watching you
Watch. If you claim one of these to get a vaccine, they’ll use it later as a preexisting condition to crank up your health premium or kick you off your plan.

I can’t… Let’s dance!
Gun control. Common sense, reasonable gun control. Every country seems to be able to do it but us because the people in power are unwilling. The exceptionalism of America: we don’t mind the shooting of children because we let it go on and on and on.
America, where everyday is a tragedy and nothing ever changes. It doesn’t have to be this way. Follow Canada, Japan, UK and Australia and other countries with stricter and sensible gun laws where days like today don’t happen on the regular.
Mark this day as the death of expertise at the CDC. All we have between us and the next pandemic are a bunch of horse paste eating conspiracy loons.
The wildlife is always watching you, never forget that
My parents had a small cottage on a lake with a beaver … My dad had to cut down some major branches & decided to prep a bonfire with them for the next day & invite friends... It would’ve been the best bonfire ever! Except… we woke up in the morning, and the beavers had taken all of it! 😂

Frey: "We need an assault weapons ban nationwide. We need to have a high capacity magazine ban. And if the federal govt and states aren't gonna act, give us the ability to protect our constituents. Give mayors & council members the ability to protect in Mpls 435,000 residents that call Mpls home."
One of my favorite movies
Did you know the great final two verses of Pete Seeger’s classic “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” antiwar song — the ones in which the soldiers went to graveyards, and the graveyards to flowers — were added by singer, songwriter, and folk music archivist Joe Hickerson, who died Aug. 17 at age 89?
Italian style pizza and Czech black lager in The Transylvanian Carpathian Mountains? Why the feck not! Moving on again tomorrow. Sorry about the holiday updates, but it’s that or murder carpets.
That pizza looks fantastic
Quick morning harvest

Do it, please
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Newsom tells our Christopher Cadelago that he has final say over his x posts, but is using his "kill switch" to reject posts "less every day." Watch the interview from our Politico Live California Agenda Summit 👇
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
The new CDC Director has been booted. Chaos is the new norm.
With their gutting of the CDC and other agencies Canada should no longer accept any food imports from the 🇺🇲. It's a public health issue #BoycottUSA
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve on the Minnesota shooting: "The sad thing is we can't sit here and tell them that help is on the way. Because we're not going to do a damn thing about it."
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
I will never forget.
Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.
Never in my life will in comprehend why the Access Hollywood tape wasn’t the end for him. Almost 10 years of being deeply embarrassed for this country every day.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
Our leaders who spoke truth to power were just escorted off Roybal campus by security. Speak out and you’re gone? Go ahead - we’re not afraid. 🖕
Those fuckers
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
No, there is no scientific evidence linking wind turbines to whale deaths. The primary causes of whale mortality are human activities such as ship strikes and entanglements in fishing gear, not offshore wind development. (NOAA). RFK, Jr. is as insane as you think he is.
Minnesota is heartbroken. From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together. Hug your kids close.
i’m getting 5 to 10 contribution requests. The Democrats are getting nothing from me and until they start making real meaningful inroads against Trump.
