The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. 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.

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.

One more for the day

Beer brewed in Wisconsin anyone?

Also on Reddit today, someone thinking that I am apologetic for being a white dude. Nah, friends. I think we all know that being a white dude in the US is pretty great. My sin, if you will, is thinking everyone else should have the same latitude in life that I get just by being a white dude.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

What the fuck is wrong with this man. Oh and Happy Easter.

Police contact of any kind is not innocuous: most police killings start with officers responding to a suspected non-violent situation or a case where no crime has been reported. www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/12...

We owe it to those already there to make this right. In whatever equitable way possible.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Not the same indeed.

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

Jessica: And the American public understands the difference between being deported and being sent to a foreign prison.. If we have a mass murderer in a maximum security American prison, they have more rights than the people being sent there for a lifetime sentence.

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Facts matter......This is one.....
