I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform.
I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

Listen, they can keep lying about USAID, but gutting the program is hurting the American Ag sector.
That is the point though. Destroy American Ag to make way for other authoritarian countries to take over the market.

Health insurance is not meant to keep you healthy.
It’s meant to serve as an obstacle to care while picking your pocket.

I hate this system so much because I love humanity so much.
Nothing needs to be this way.
Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Because their existence ensures homelessness, hunger, endless pollution, exploitation, and self / societal harm to everyone.
We have the power to change.

With Sweeping Executive Orders, Trump Tests Local Control of Schools
The orders seek to encourage “patriotic education” and restrict discussions about racism and gender by threatening to withdraw federal funding. But schools are often resistant to change.

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave.
