I'm just a liberal old broad living in Pennsyltucky so I tend to keep to myself. Pittsburgh's the "Big City" to where I'm from. Expect mostly likes and reposts with an occasional doodle or landscape photo.

Extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for the next year will cost $23 billion.

“To put it frankly, old white people have a lot of time, and they’re really angry,” Stauss said. “Having somebody that looks like your grandmother out there, shouting ‘shame’ or out there blowing her whistle, is really important.”

It's always: “We can’t afford to pay our workers a living wage.”
And never: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.
