If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.

This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

This kind of surveillance can be used to single out people for questioning or arrest on minor or pretextual grounds, creating targets even when no real wrongdoing occurred. Please be careful.

In some cases, they analyze posts, comments, and videos for details that could reveal locations, identities, or community support structures. In short, this monitoring helps them shape their enforcement strategy and suppress organizing.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Nothing would make Putin happier than having Trump destroy the US-EU relationship and having the US ditch NATO.

That's his Christmas list of idea outcomes.
Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

We’ve posted a lot lately about CDC denying reasonable accommodations to disabled employees -- e.g., telling a paraplegic person who normally teleworks to report to the office immediately or use leave.

Yes, that’s really happening.

Let’s talk a bit about why everyone should care.

Even seemingly small administrative actions can profoundly harm individuals, shattering our sense of safety and fairness, while also eroding trust and normalizing discrimination.

History warns: stripping protections from one group puts everyone’s rights at risk.

At the beginning of WWII, people with mental or physical disabilities were targeted for murder in what the Nazis called the T-4, or "euthanasia," program.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
