Is it me, or has today been the absolute worst news day since like, forever? Feel like my heart is just laying on the floor in a million pieces. Even if I could pick them all up, I'll never get it back together right. 💔

I have read that there are patients whose personality actually does change post heart-transplant. Super interesting subject IMO.

Babysitting - started out at $.50-$.75 per hour. It was much less than minimum wage at the time; today kids want $15 an hour.

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

Poverty isn’t a moral failure—it’s the product of a broken capitalist system designed to funnel wealth upward. When the top 1% hoard resources while millions struggle, it exposes systemic greed, not personal shortcomings. Blaming individuals distracts from the real injustice.

I live on the central coast of California and every day, everywhere I go, I see people planting, caring for, harvesting, and packaging the food that ends up on my table. Many of them are my friends and neighbors. It is a privilege to live here.

Loading children up to fly them to Guatemala without a hearing to find out if they can be cared for by relatives in USA and whether they will be greatly harmed by the Deportation. These Trump MAGAS sink so low on the morality scale there is no bottom.

Kind of the opposite really. Stone soup starts with a stone, but each neighbor contributes something to make it yummy. Our problem is that we "neighbors" can't do much under the circumstances; the people who can and should act have apparently never read the story of the good Samaritan.

Why not replace the President's Secret Service protection with thoughts and prayers? After all, if it's good enough for our children, it should be good enough for him. It would save the Tax payers a lot of money, and you know how much they LOVE to cut waste…

Bernie: There is no reason why we should have a lower life expectancy than every other major country while spending nearly twice as much per capita on health care. The function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care for ALL, not make insurance and drug companies rich.

I wonder if the location of black communities can be added to this list of factors. If they were prohibited (by actual law) from owning homes in certain neighborhoods, to me it seems reasonable that those neighborhoods were safer, too.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Memphis, Houston, and Kansas City all have more violent crime than DC, but the National Guard isn’t there because they’re in red states. It’s a show of force and, more so, a distraction. Trump wants us talking about anything other than his collapsing health and Jeffrey Epstein.

No conversation about crime is useful unless we talk about what causes most city crime: exploitation and poverty. Any intervention that isn't aimed at reducing the working class oppression that leads to poverty (wage slavery, for-profit housing, over-policing etc) will simply not work

The richest 400 Americans paid a lower average effective tax rate than all other U.S. taxpayers from 2018 to 2020. And thanks to Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill, they’ll keep paying less. Is it any wonder so many think the game is rigged?
