A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.

And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

"Camilo" is harvesting pomegranates in Firebaugh, CA. "We earn minimum wage. It's very tiring work. We climb up and down ladders with a heavy sack of fruit. We then rush to empty the sack into the bin. Today was a good day as the ground wasn't wet from the rain." #WeFeedYou

Everyone at the top are broken little boys playing at being (what they've been taught is an ideal of) men.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.

The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.

It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

THIS! Screw appealing to CULT-47 voters.
This is why, every time I hear weak-knee Dems or Dem pundits/consultants talking about how they can appeal to Trump voters, I get irrationally angry. The goal isn’t to embrace racists and fascists. The goal is to provide the alternative that lets voters kick racists and fascists into the wilderness.
It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

ICYMI - Halle Berry is all out of f*cks

"Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But that’s OK, because he’s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women… by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."

Health care costs are about to EXPLODE for millions of Americans.

Instead of helping their constituents, Republicans are digging in their heels and refusing to negotiate to make health care more affordable for folks in Oregon and across the country.

Just plain wrong.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Some great news: I just got off the phone with the U.S. Coast Guard, who has returned the rescue helicopter to Newport and promised to keep it there. This is a big win to keep fishermen and the Newport community safe.

The GED is a pathway to a brighter future, and we're making sure more Kentuckians have access. Since 2020, we've:
✅Waived testing fees
✅Increased testing sites from 114 to 171
✅Taken testing on the road for counties without access

The result? An 81% increase in test-takers.
