The GOP regards those of us who work for a paycheck as disposable. Any harm done to us is collateral damage from their policy of Social Darwinism. Paycheck workers who vote GOP do it as long as the GOP hurts the people they hate.

Sunset over the soccer field, the horizon ablaze in golden honey hues. Elegant clouds drift by, silhouetted by the suns goodbye. The trees, already cloaked in shadow, tuck in for the frigid evening. Patiently longing for the mornings warm embrace.

Donald Trump wants to sell YOUR student loan debt to Wall Street.

He's not looking out for you — he's looking to make his CEO buddies more money off of your back.

Trump administration considers sale of federal student loan debt

The discussions have taken place among senior Education Department and Treasury Department officials.

There are scads more of these lurking, they are called Republicans. Don't fool yourself that getting rid of DJT and his cabinet will solve anything. The GOP can easily generate an unlimited supply.

Day 1324 of Russia's three-day plan to capture Kyiv.

1,321 days behind schedule, Moscow's imperialist army is still stuck in the mud of Donetsk oblast, a region they first invaded 11.5 years ago.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Won? not hardly. The Republicans never give up. They are still trying to destroy Social Security originally passed in 1938.

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company.

It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers.

While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.
