I am SO impressed at the stamina, strength, and pure guts of Sen. Cory Booker!! Blessings on this beautiful human being. Have we heard the voice of the Democratic Party?
The soul of America is truly embodied in this man.

And thank you, Wisconsin!!

The world's worst humanitarian crisis today is in Sudan, facing famine and atrocities that the US has already concluded are genocide. Sudanese refugees crossing the border told me what's happening--and meanwhile, the US is aggravating the crisis. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/o...

Our silence about Sudan and the cancellation of U.S. aid comes painfully close to complicity.

In 13 days, Wisconsin voters will elect a new state Supreme Court justice. In tomorrow's The Big Picture, Todd Beeton looks at whether Elon Musk will be able to buy that seat for the Republican. And yesterday, Jay Kuo dug into what is really behind the fascist tactics of Trump and Musk.
This Week In The Big Picture
Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Donald Trump last year and so far he’s gotten a lot of bang for his buck.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

The stock prices of America's largest private prison and detention center operators have skyrocketed since Trump's victory.

Why?

Because the border-industrial complex stands to profit handsomely from Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.
The Truth About the U.S. Border | Robert Reich
The full story about immigration you aren't getting from politicians and the media. Watch More: The Military-Industrial Drain ►► https://youtu.be/OnR84h7t5kI A desperate combination of factors are driving migrants and asylum seekers to our southern border, from Central America in particular: deep economic inequality, corruption, and high rates of poverty, as well as violence and instability tied to historic U.S. support for brutal authoritarian regimes, right-wing paramilitary groups, and corporate interests in Latin America. In other words, the United States is very much part of the root of this problem. Some politicians want you to believe the way to address this humanitarian tragedy is to double down on border security and build walls to deter people from coming. They’re wrong. Several administrations have tried this approach. It's failed every time. Our bloated spending on the border-industrial complex has done nothing but increase human suffering without dealing with the root causes of...

Together with progressive partners, we’re planning a massive mobilization in the streets to translate the anger with Trump’s power grab into a nationwide show of defiance.

Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices.

Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work.

They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Today I listened to Chris Hedges Report, an interview with Ralph Nader. Enlightening. Wish I had been a little older when he was working his magic, so I could have appreciated him more at the time. Happily, he’s still with us (91!)
and still as sharp. Long live!

Time to call the Capitol switchboard

and let our elected representatives know that we’re plenty pissed.
Including those 10 Democrats who voted to censure Al Green.
WTF!
March 7, 2025 at 1:07 AM
Censure Al Green ?! Really?!
One of the few heroic Democratic congresspeople to stand up and say it out loud! Why do Democrats think we’ll make any progress against this fascist regime by being polite?! You don’t take a rule book to a fucking street fight!

Trump and Elon are destroying the Social Security Administration, and without staff & offices, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.

I put together a fact sheet about what Elon's decimation of Social Security will mean for YOU.

Please share it far and wide.

Difference with today is that the Washington Post would not even publish it, in the same way it refused to publish @anntelnaes.bsky.social's cartoon.
Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

Listening to Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s speech at the NATO summit made me proud of my Danish heritage. She’s another hero, as is, of course, Volodymyr
