The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

#Putin never had the intention to honestly look for peace.
Je only wanted to avoid more US sanctions on #Russia and renewed assistance by the #USA.
He skillfully manipulated #Trump and played him again for the fool he is and turned him.

People thought kidnapping and forcibly removing humans to other countries hundreds of miles away without cause was over when slavery ended. Jokes on us. trump administration plans to override the Emancipation Proclamation in 2025.

Yr Wonkette took yesterday off to mark Juneteenth, the national celebration of the end of slavery, when Union soldiers brought the news of Emancipation to Galveston, Texas, more than two years after Lincoln’s proclamation. Donald Trump,

Idiot Takes Break From Golfing To Whine Juneteenth Makes Us Lazy

Juneteenth will last. Trump will not.

The Emancipation Proclamation was signed two years after the Civil War started. The war was over state’s rights. Slavery was a secondary cause. The war divided the nation and cost about 750,000 lives.

Here we are again.
Trump is taking over Washington DC.

potentially the funniest thing he’s said yet

new york times post with picture of frowning donald trump (expression of a sinner) with headline ‘i want to try and get into heaven’: trump gets reflective on ‘fox & friends’ with caption “president trump dialed into “fox &friends” and revealed his newest and truest motivation for brokering an end to the war in Ukraine: he’s worried he might not get into heaven after he dies. “i want to try and get into heaven, if possible,” he explained. “i’m hearing i’m not doing well. i am really at the bottom of the totem pole. but if i can get into heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

🔥 Vice President Kamala Harris phoned Rep. Nicole Collier, who has refused for over 30 hours to bow to the GOP’s police-state tactics on the TX House floor.

Harris told her: “History will reveal you as heroes of this moment.”

Texas is the front line. The nation is watching.

I cannot even believe this is necessary in 2025.
I hate that we have not eradicated RACISM by 2025.
Sometimes I think maybe the planet is better off burning.
But nevertheless here we are.
Canada is not exempt.
We need to keep working on eliminating racism everyday.
Stand up. Call it out.

In setting up Meidas Canada we chose a microphone that carried historic weight.
We picked the altec 639 b.
If it was good enough for Edward R. Murrow and Buddy Holly,
it was good enough for resistance to gangster fascism.
This is an original mic and has never been used.
