The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

Pope Francis, the first Latino Papa, you tried to turn the world towards love and good people loved you for it. You burned the hearts of the selfish. May your memory be a blessing.

RFK, Jr. is a hack and a bigot. Autism is a neurodifference. It's not a diease, a defect, or a burden. He's bigotry, ignorance, and snake oil all rolled into one, and he is trying to assert power over Autistic lives. We're living in an unbelievably stupid, dangerous, anti-science era.

We're living in an unbelievably stupid, dangerous, anti-science era. I won't let my Autistic family members, students, or community suffer because of this clown. I hope this joker realizes the power of mothers and teachers. If he doesn't, he'll find out. Tell EVERYONE WHAT THIS FOOL HAS SAID.

Soooo - Dumpf is turning $1.7 Trillion in student debt over to the SBA to manage, while at the same time cutting the SBA by 40%. What could possibly go wrong??? Hope everyone with student loans has all their up to date records of payments, etc.

Don't lose your faith, your prayers, your belief in Something bigger than yourself. That's what evil does. It beats you down and hopes you eventually come to believe that you're not worth anything, that there's nothing to believe in. But Love is real. Hope is real. Faith is fuel. Slava Ukraini.

I don't want to agree with this, but simple math dictates that it's probably true. If one serves the people of the United States, via govt work, or through non-profit social service, educational, or equitable means, said jobs are in peril.
It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Some good news.
Our devastation of nature is so extreme that reversing even a small part of it requires painstaking efforts. A scientist’s attempt to try to save one endangered ibis species demonstrates how dire the situation has become.
