Our current political turmoil flies in the face of what our Founding Fathers sought to embody in early documents: Unity

United we can vanquish the baser impulses of those who seek only our exploitation & oppression.

Democracy thrives on “participation, not compulsion” (borrowing from C.J. Cherryh)

China is doing an absolutely FANTASTIC job of baiting that asshole into economic Hari-Kari.

Every time they do something that hurts our economy, TACO reacts by doing something that actually hurts us TEN TIMES more.

It’s crazy!

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.”

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The 23% "unsure" are a few weeks away from being "very sure". The sticker shock they'll experience during open enrollment should solidify it. It's possible that the GOP attacks on Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA could also spin into negative affects on employer-based plans. No one is safe from this.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
