One way to help those impacted by the wildfires in Hawaii is by supporting the work of José Andrés and World Central Kitchen. #ChefsForHawaii teams are already on the ground in Maui providing sandwiches & water for first responders and meals for evacuees.

60 Minutes crossed a unforgivable line with its softball interview of Marjorie Taylor Greene. The need by many in the corporate media to try and normalize fascism in the Republican Party because they cannot come to terms with its fundamental threat to American democracy is a danger to all of us.

If the inhabited territories plus DC became states, the US flag would have 56 stars. There would be 112 Senators, and probably 444-445 voting members of Congress, based on population.

The expansion of democracy and equity? Immeasurable.

Tried to make this easy and not too detailed. There are more topics to add!

Feedback Welcome.

Some seemingly normal, balanced folks, who are not trump supporters at all, say things like, "...though he did do some good things..." Serious question: can someone tell me some good things he's done? I can't think of even one thing, without parody.

If you are not familiar with the Republican's Project 2025, please read the following NYT article in which a description of the Republican plan to create an autocratic dictatorship, replacing civil servants with trump loyalists, is laid bare for all to see.

They want to hunt women who flee the red states for health reasons. Because they literally believe in forced labor.

Excellent excerpt from Salon detailing mind control rhetoric used by authoritarians and the MAGA man himself. Excellent read!

We, as a nation, are at the mercy of the courts regarding the conviction of trump. I'm so glad the Georgia Supreme Court denied trump's attempts to quash the investigation into his activity.

What's really going to blow your mind is finding out that Mississippi is by percentage, the blackest state in America and apart from a single black House representive, it's run by white people. Ask yourself how that happens.
OriginalSinner @OriginalSinner
#JoyReid has been covering this story. It doesn't seem real in this day and age but it is.
#Mississippi is creating a separate all white court system in the 83% black majority city of {#id:83199#} to be selected by the all white state government rather than elected by local citizens.

How?

This is horrific! We need to have national, affordable health care. We are the only major industrialized country without it. Unfettered capitalism at its finest.

What the headline doesn’t say is that the drug costs $50,000 PER WEEK. It is the only drug available for his rare eye tumors (which will kill him very quickly if left untreated). If anyone needed proof of how broken capitalism is, here it is.

The "manosphere" rhetoric is globally radicalizing so many young men, promoting EXTREMLY harmful attitudes towards women. It's an epidemic. Unfortunately the extent of it is invisible to older generations who may be active in different online spaces

It has never been safe to be female. Every female on this site is or knows a victim.

“If you think about every 10 teen girls that you know, at least one and possibly more has been raped, and that is the highest level we’ve ever seen,” said Kathleen Ethier

I supported him from California. We have to get behind common sense, liberal Democrats no matter where we live. The House has too many wacky GOPers!
