This should set alarm bells off for everyone—regardless of party. A single billionaire pouring $45M a month into our elections to secure tax breaks and a rigged economy is not democracy; it's an auction. Our elected officials mustshould work for us, not billionaires.
This should be setting alarm bells off for everyone—regardless of party. A single billionaire shouldn't be able to pour $45 MILLION A MONTH into influencing our elections. All so they can get more tax breaks and a rigged economy. Is this a democracy or an auction?

One of the San Jose local rescues I work with is having a couple of adoption days in San Jose and Campbell this weekend! Would love to see lots of happy new cat and kitten parents. 13thstcats.org/info/events has all of the details.

Ah yes that classic Christmas song "Wish" by NiN. The struggle of a young boy realizing that his dreams of Santa have let him down this year. Listen again and you can feel the struggle. (Context: the car sometimes keeps one wrong attribute and this is what the roulette gave)

When I was Prez Carter’s talent handler it was the Goodwill Games in NYC. When Carter arrived I was to take him to stage to join Ted Turner, Gov Pataki, Gerald Levin & Giuliani to kick off the event. On our way to the stage a young school child approached Carter to say hello..

Puck is kind of a mood today. It's the one eye open with "are you going to bother me" look that really tops it off.

If you have allergies you know you're going to have a bad day when the shortcut forecast is just "Pollen". No weather, just pollen.

“Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.” - Heinrich Heine
Missouri Republicans at a literal book burning. They think flamethrowers should be legal but history books should be destroyed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video show two Republican state senators incinerating a pile of empty boxes they said symbolized "woke liberal agenda" "leftist policies" One of the senators (William Eigel) also stated that he will burn woke books too - "on the front lawn of the governor's mansion" snopes.com/fact-check/sta…
