Question: Will the next mainstream media interviewer of Trump ask about this blatant lie in the Oval Office? Or will they say ‘let’s agree to disagree’ and try and move on, a la ABC’s Terry Moran?

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts predominantly for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

You shouldn’t need a GoFundMe to survive cancer. You shouldn’t work 40+ hours and still be poor. You shouldn’t die waiting for healthcare in the richest country on Earth. This ain’t radical. It’s righteous. It’s time to fight for what we deserve: single-payer healthcare.

It's odd how those who dismiss the Peace Movement as Utopian don't hesitate to proffer the most absurdly dreamy reasons for going to War: To stamp out Terrorism, install Democracy, eliminate Fascism, and most delusionally to 'Rid the world of evil-doers'. - Arundhati Roy

"Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the twentieth century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead." Arundhati Roy

If Rational Arguments no longer work in US governance, it’s evidence of a deeper problem in our educational system, which favors what to know over how to think — how to critically analyze, process, & verify information. Seems like a bad time to reduce funding for Public Education.

Abolish copays. Abolish for-profit healthcare altogether.

"Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way banner are backing a new documentary that digs into one of the darkest corners of American history, abuse at Native American boarding schools. The film is titled 'Nine Little Indians,' and what it's set to reveal is harrowing." geektyrant.com/news/leonard...

Art of the Deal!

The @nytimes.com— whose reporters, like other reporters, are banned from going into Gaza and sending back the truth—has printed some good reports and features on the violent repressive occupation of Palestinian lands. But too many of its headlines have been biased in favor of Israel’s government.

The 80-year-old Indigenous activist has been incarcerated nearly as long as Joe Biden has been in national politics.

speaking of pardons.... President Biden still has the power to free Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier.
