We are asked to believe the chambermaids & the dishwashers & the radish-pickers & the cow-milkers trying to find in America what many of our forebears came for… are a greater danger to America than the child rapist grifting felon in the White House & an apartheid-loving sociopath stealing our data?

I went to college on the GI bill after 6 years of active service. Finished up when I worked for a company with tuition reimbursement. I was the first person in my family to stay in high school until I graduated. Everyone else dropped out and got a job or joined the service as soon as they turned 17.

MAGA are cementing the US solidly in the ranks of the 3rd World countries. Heading for having handful of oligarchs with private islands, flying palaces, and space ships, exploiting a populace mired in hate, squalor, ignorance and superstition. They don't want us joining the Woke 1st World countries

I'm that old, as well. I liked Ike. His VP, not so much.

When the income tax was instituted, only the top 3% made enough money to be affected. The exemption was higher the 97% of people's income.

Both sides throw the word freedom around but fail to define it. For the left, freedom means you can make your own life choices. For the right freedom means that if you're rich, you're not held responsible for your actions.

If you use AI you’re accelerating climate crisis, polluting deprived communities, burning through water, giving bosses excuses to reduce workers rights and wages. It’s a moral and ethical degradation.
