I think it's time for all elected officials to take a 10% pay cut for the good of the country, then they should pay health insurance premiums like the rest of us. Before cutting social security we should look at their pensions as well. It seem fair to me.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27.5M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.
Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.
It's past time Walmart paid them a living wage.

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

It’s pathetic watching Trump trying to put his name on everything.
I think we can all see his time is short.
The dying attempts of a psychopathic narcissist to leave a notable legacy behind.
He will be remembered as an embarrassment to the USA and a stain on everyone who followed him.

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!
