Yes, be like Canada
Canada understands the danger the world is under and has allocated $2.5 billion to help Ukraine overcome the fascist Russian invaders. Be like Canada. 🇨🇦

Patriot hero, Rick Steves
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It’s clearly laid out
The push for wealth taxes has been one of the defining economic debates of 2025. The question now is how to create policies that work.
If we are serious about justice, democracy and effective government, this is the path we should take.

Attention, please
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Wow. Thirty thousand students just walked out in Charlotte to protest ICE. When kids are willing to shut down an entire city to push back on state power, that’s a political awakening.

Support the workers for as long as it takes
Starbucks can end this today: bargain in good faith, resolve unfair labor practices, and stop the union-busting.
Until then, workers are holding the line! #NoCoffeeNoContract

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Me neither, I say to my wife everyday how can people just go about their lives as if
900K furloughed. Large company layoffs. 42M lose SNAP. $20B to Argentina while we struggle. And we’re all just… quiet? Scrolling? Going to work like normal? The silence is what terrifies me most. Where’s the rage? The daily protests? I genuinely cannot comprehend this level of collective apathy.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Fascism is an ideology that divides humanity into “superior” and “inferior” groups — with catastrophic consequences. In this video, I explain what fascism really means, why its essence is exclusion, and why true democracy depends on equality and respect for all. youtu.be/H7pjd_G3088?...
