The new Republican House began with an obvious lie advanced in the service of Christian nationalism, so we’re off to a great start
In his opening speech, Speaker Mike Johnson just recited a long prayer attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

The U.S. government already knows how to be ruthless. Never forget that.
This photo of a man on a mountain of bison skulls has circulated for years. Biologist Victor Scheffer said it best: “Nature needs millions of years to create a species; man needs only a few dozen to destroy one.”

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
Be. Like. Finland.

When I look at investing in companies, if you have any level of dependency on Amazon, its a negative. I would love to have people post what percent of sales in fees from Amazon and Walmart they are experiencing
And other issues.
The numbers I have seen are INSANE AND UNSUSTAINABLE.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Millionaires and billionaires would be perfectly FINE not getting salary for 33 days, or even 333 days.
The average American, folks like you and me working paycheck to paycheck, would not. Do NOT let billionaires make decisions for US.
