Unlike pandas, life isn’t black and white, so we need to live in the gray. Sometimes that means accepting or forgiving people for not always being perfect.

Trump is not that tough. He likes to pick on those who have less power than he does, but will run like a baby if someone fights back.
It's easier if we all fight back together.

Lying, grift, pedophilia--all fine. But if there's one thing Trump will not tolerate, it's truth-telling.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

As always, honorable clarification by Lawrence O'Donnell that it was his team and guests prior to Rep. Khanna's appearance who suggested the Estate.
Watched that original show and it was very powerful.
Watching tonight too, as usual. Hopefully the tide is turning on these issues.

How petty. The money being spent on a single chandelier in the new East Wing ballroom would fund all the ASL interpreters they would need for the next four years.
