We are the first generation that has sufficient resources to put a roof over every head, a meal on every table, to provide education and basic health care to all, and to care for the planet.

Yet we don't.

You have to ask yourself what's wrong with us?

Republicans have turned the USA into the kind of police state that Republicans always warned you America would become if you didn't vote for Republicans.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

Even if you were able to ignore the pedophile in the room I sometimes wonder if having to spend so much time with such awful people isn't some level of punishment for being a billionaire.

With snow on the ground, and possibly more to come, it might be tempting to daydream about warmer days ahead by getting your seeds started indoors. But Emma Erler, lead horticulturist at Kirkwood Gardens and host of Homegrown NH, says it’s important to pay attention to timing.

"A lot of Republican politicians are going to spend the rest of their careers distancing themselves from everything happening right now."

It's our job to make them own this for eternity and not be able to blame what has happened on Trump.

It's not Trumpism, it's Republicanism.

Destroy the brand.

The Trump administration sued New Hampshire, seeking access to its voter data.

State attorneys are now trying to dismiss the case, saying it “is neither supported by any viable legal theory nor by well pleaded facts.” https://bit.ly/46Cdav5

Today's "only in America"

Trying to apply for ACA coverage due to probable loss of coverage at the end of the month.

Not possible

You can only enter a day in the past as the date you lose coverage, not say, Feb 27th

i.e. You literally can't plan and make sure you have no period with no coverage.

AI is going to be (another) one of those technologies where it was relatively easy to get 80% right and absolutely impossible to get to 100%

We are probably going to burn the planet finding this out.

Your occasional reminder that when a third of Americans fail to vote 43% is enough to comfortably win an election.
most Americans do not hold highly authoritarian views, but 43% do.
