Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

State Department Designates WNBA As Terrorist Organization

Republicans are deploying every trick in the book to gut Medicaid while claiming they’re not cutting it. The CBO estimates the latest GOP plan would kick nearly 9 million people off Medicaid. Why? To fund tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit corporations and the rich.

Funny how THAT works... 🙄

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health researchers work to protect miners from black lung disease, firefighters from cancer, and workers everywhere from dangerous workplace hazards. Trump is planning to fire 85% of them. Make no mistake: this will cost workers their lives.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom." —MLK

Rampant corruption:

Trump's budget plan includes a record $1 trillion in military spending. At the same time, he wants to cut $163 billion in housing, education, healthcare, climate, and labor programs to pay for tax cuts that will mostly go to the rich. "Fiscal responsibility."

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

This is the official White House account.

TRUMPISM REJECTED IN AUSTRALIA Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been re-elected as his Labor Party surged to victory and is projected to form a majority government. In a historic first, opposition leader Peter Dutton—often likened to Donald Trump—lost his own seat of Dickson.

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods… I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

The Supreme Court’s dream of a unitary executive—one man in charge of 50 very different and largely incompatible states, with 330 million people, even were he another Pericles—is utterly discredited; also giving a few men of sketchy character wealth equal to that of entire nation states is a bust

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Reminder - The word 'free' has been completely perverted by the Right, Free Zones, Freeports, Free Cities, Free Speech, it's all about being free from democracy and accountability.
