Heavy on the pro-democracy and pro-justice posts these days with so much at stake. Also post artwork (collage, assemblage, leaded glass), photos I like, nature, animals, astronomy images, and examples of kindness. No DMs or chats

"The point of fighting fascism isn’t to win every battle. It is to stand courageously against the onslaught, which will encourage others to fight, too. We cannot and will not win every time, but they ultimately cannot defeat us if we stand strong together." ~ Jay Kuo

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Donald Trump defaulted on a $330 million loan for his Chicago skyscraper. And it wasn't the only time he defaulted on a loan or failed to pay a bill.

This issue alone is going to cost them seats in places they don’t expect. They don’t understand the grass roots anger and hostility there is about this, and billionaire CEOs of Cantor Fitzgerald like Lutnick aren’t going to fool them with their con men sales pitches.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate.
They are state-run media.

— They consider Epstein’s associates victims

WELKER: Why didn't the DOJ meet the Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files?
BLANCHE: It's very simple and very clear. The statute also requires us to protect victims.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.
