One full-time job should pay enough to pay your bills and save for the future. That means fast food workers. And custodial workers. And ride-share drivers. All work deserves pay we can live and thrive on.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

I visited a local nursery/greenhouse, entered a raffle, and won! They handed me this big pot full of coleus and something else that drapes nicely and suggested I wait until after the last likely frost (Tues. night) to put it outside.

Yeah, I lived in the South for over 40 years, and there are many things to celebrate. The Confederacy is not one of those things.

Dr. Josephine Baker fought for milk testing in lower Manhattan over a century ago, where babies were 7 times more likely to die than WWI US soldiers in the trenches. Milk was often adulterated with chalk and germ-y water. Today the FDA stopped testing milk due to lack of staff. Shame on you, Trump.

I feel so very good about my tax dollars paying people to check for poop in my food. Honestly, 10/10 on tax dollar use.

Time for some native bee love! Sweat bees are awesome. I mean bees in general are awesome and we need them desperately to pollinate plants. But also sweat bees are green and shiny!!! #invertebrates 🌿 🐝

Yes. At least Rockefeller spent some of his money on libraries and the like. Was that a bit of guillotine repellent? Probably. But it improved the lives of many people he never met. How can we get the broliarchs into competitive philanthropy? Could someone make a video game for it or something?

People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

And the working class people lucky enough to have retirement savings probably have them in 401Ks (or similar) that are directly tied to the stockmarket. A bunch of 64 year olds just saw their future retirement get a lot less doable.

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity. I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.
