Sometimes I feel like I am but a shepherd for little piles of things

Yes.😢

Stand up to protect Chaco and all our public lands! Thank you New Mexico neighbors!

He looks scared. I would be too if I were president and had no idea what I was doing.

I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.

May the powers that be protect our troops on bases in the Middle East. 😔

Yes, please.

tomorrow's Fathers Day and a reminder to dads out there that no kid who had a happy childhood ever needed a military parade later in life

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

This all comes down to policy choices. Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment? Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion? This is the choice before us.

Naming birds is hard.

So much this…

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

So ICE is affiliated with the NRA and police unions, who are supposed to be protecting our freedoms, but actually just took the money and ran. Or floated off in their yachts.

There's only one way to fix the political disease in the USA. KILL "Citizens United" ruling with legislation outlawing ALL private political donations in the USA. END all paid political lobbying. Limited PUBLIC funding ONLY of all elected offices. Brief election campaigns. STRICT term limits.

YES. Madeleine Jubilee Saito nailed it.

Peaceful protesting will defeat Fascism. Violence will play into its hands. Do NOT give Trump what he wants.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Everybody dies but if you have good health care you get to actually enjoy your life.

that’s right

Now that I've gotten older, I've come to realize why Bigfoot stays away from people.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is a tax cut for billionaires and a restraining order on the rest of us.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

When male lawmakers pass these bathroom laws, they’re thinking of what they would do if they had access to the women’s bathroom, not what trans women do in the women’s bathroom…

14 million people could lose their Medicaid coverage. 22 million people could see their health insurance skyrocket. And they're doing all of it so they can give millionaires and billionaires and their mega-corporations more tax breaks. Everyone is seeing this, right?

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

When we get through this despicable period in America—and we will get through it—Americans will have learned why and how important government is to making life better.
