A reminder to pay attention to what your votes & tax dollars are doing. Don’t like the results then get engaged!
You work for the whole year and pay

22% federal tax
4% state tax
26% total tax

26% of the year = 95 days

You work over 3 months before you earn a dollar for yourself

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

Talarico: We’re building a movement in Texas. We have shattered grassroots fundraising records. We have recruited over 10,000 volunteers. That’s the infrastructure we need to energize Democratic voters, bring in new voters, and peel people off from the other side. You have to do all three to win.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Unlike needy loser Donald Trump, Barack Obama got his Peace Prize from the Nobel Committee, not a vending machine.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

Genuine question: has any GOP member of house or senate spoken out about the Dept of defense and Hegseth threatening sen Mark Kelly with lawfare? Beyond disturbing

Especially any veterans?

Shame on all those who stay silent

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Trump and corporate media want you to believe Trump is wildly popular. Well if he is then where are the massive pro-Trump protests to counter our protests? Nowhere because Trump is horribly unpopular. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/where-are-...
