Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.
Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.
Another reason for Medicare for All.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Blue tits are widely associated with joy, happiness, and cheerfulness due to their vibrant colors, playful antics, and agility, bringing positivity to gardens and symbolizing hope and new beginnings in folklore.

1. This is how the story "Sanctuary" from Detective Comics #551-552 started.
Back then was INS. The kid showed his passport after this, but his brother is not in the same situation.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

The Pacific Wren is a tiny forest undergrowth dweller of western North America.
Until recently it was considered the same species as the Winter Wren and the Eurasian Wren, which explains why it looks so similar to the wrens I see in my neighbourhood 😁

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

Happy Thanksgiving! Seven members of our coffee klatch gathered to connect together before we went our separate ways today, and they voted for this photo looking slightly north taken 8 minutes before sunrise. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

I struggle with all of the “Happy Thanksgiving” posts. I was taught lies in school. I grew up to learn the barbarism of the truth. That we continue to celebrate it as such feels like a betrayal - bc it is. We spend the day together making no mention of the lie.
