NPR receives $2-3M/year in federal funding. PBS receives $80-85M. The military-themed birthday parade Trump is throwing himself will cost taxpayers $92M. We’re told cutting news and kids programming to fund an authoritarian birthday bash somehow “makes America great again”

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.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

James: I entered into public service because I recognize the power of government—and that government should be, and has always been, a force for good. For those reasons, I am defending the United States government—defending it against these illegal and unlawful acts by this president

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. - Carl Sagan

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

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

The Big Lie undergirding MAGA’s immigration posture is that immigrants are fundamentally parasitic, they just take from the host country. It’s a fascist conception and also just obviously wrong if you think about it for more than 10 seconds. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, honoring the end of World War I—then it was changed to honor ALL who served. Now Trump wants to rename it. Reframe it. Twist it into a tribute to conquest. Veterans don’t need rewritten history. They need respect—and the benefits they earned.

Because the reporting across outlets hasn’t mentioned it I want to stress that Justice Jackson referenced the courageous & resolute stance of federal judges J. Shelly Wright in Louisiana and Frank Johnson in Alabama who issued school desegregation orders in the face of “Massive Resistance” to Brown.
