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.

Advice from someone who made it to 70:
What you think is important may not be.
Problems that seem massive now in the whole picture of life may be trivial.
Age provides equanimity.
Family is more important than work
Fun is essential
Both your good and bad deeds live on.

Senators in Munich meet with Danish & Greenland PMs, assure them of their “respect for Greenland’s sovereignty” and speak of reinforcing NATO unity. (Despite what the crazy President says.)

It wasn’t that long ago when Rubio was thought to be the future face of conservatism. It turned out that he’s just another stupid fascist jackass.
Here Rubio makes a point that multilateral supply chains were a “foolish transformation of our economy” and that mass migration is a crisis that is “transforming and destabilizing societies across the West”.

When every Republican the media touted as 'the future of modern conservatism' turned out to be yet another money grifting fascist you really have to question what American conservatism really is.

If the evidence warrants it, officials should be fired.
If the evidence supports it, indictments should follow.
The DOJ should unredact and release all 6 million of the Epstein documents and investigate everyone implicated.
Transparency is the only way this ends.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
