A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Americans work more hours,
take less vacation,
work longer days,
& retire later.
But hey, at least we're not stuck with socialized health care.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.
Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.”
It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

This growing group of shoppers is fed up with a constant barrage of marketing in their social feeds and phone alerts, and they're participating in “Low Buy 2025” or “No Buy 2025.” The trend is as much a pushback against the forces of a consumerist culture as it is about saving money. nyti.ms/3EUwLf6

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
