When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Stopped by Woodfield Mall to eat at a restaurant and the mall was insane. It makes you wonder just who was worried about the cost of eggs a few weeks ago.

We want it that way.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.

Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, Ginni Thomas, Martha Alito, John Roberts, Sam Alito, and Clarence Thomas love it when you blame Garland and Biden for the fact that the Supreme Court stopped the cases against Trump.

Bingo!!!!!

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

Maybe it's just me, but it never occurred to me to worry about who was sitting in the stall next to me in a public washroom. Is Nancy Mace trying to peek to check out everyone's genitalia?

This is very well said. Trolls need bridges to live under. Don’t build ones to them

Apt analogy.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

Whenever someone would say so-and-so "is rolling over in their grave right now," I'd roll my eyes.

But these days I'm 100% sure Bobby Kennedy is rolling over in his grave right now.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
~ Inaugural Address, Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 20, 1937.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

My dad passed away in 1977. This morning I dreamt I was younger, living in a different house in a different life. I was outside and my dad came out. I started to cry and he asked me what was wrong. I said "Oh, Papa, I haven't seen you in so long!"

Then I woke up and now I'm wrecked.
