When she first got there and dressed the way she dressed I though it was really cool. The fact, as someone else noted, that the iconoclast fashion is combined with plutocrat political sensibilities is deflating to say the least.

The problem is how many people in fact do not see the problem with this. Too many apparently do not see that those numbers are a direct reflection of economic policies rigged in a way that were sure to create more billionaires as well as more poor.

It could just as easily be argued that that Senator’s body language, clothing and physical demeanor did not belong in a serious Senate chamber. In any case, it was her vote that was the most offensive thing.

It’s great to explore Mars but it would be even better to save the earth. npr.org/2021/02/25/965775584…

It’s not about being pro woman at all. It’s about recognizing the sociopathic nature of a certain quiet, polite kind of heartlessness exhibited at times by those with establishment power.

Of the eight Democrats who voted against the $15 an hour minimum wage amendment, I don’t think the woman with little money who dressed and acted foolishly is nearly as chilling a phenomenon as the multi- millionaires in business suits who did so smoothly, calmly & no drama at all

You made him president. I wish his presidency had been way more aligned with those speeches.

Anne Lamott’s new book zeros in on words that provide hope at such a time as this: revival and courage. As usual, she brilliantly nails where we are and where we’re going.

When people who have millions of $ of personal wealth deny a minimum wage hike to 100s of 1000s of people who would be lifted out of poverty by it, they shouldn’t be able to hide their heartless behavior behind the ridiculous claim that they’re being good stewards of the economy

Bernie Sanders has done more to coalesce progressive sensibility in this country then anyone in decades, often in the face of insidious and insulting resistance from those who have half his character.

I hope you’ll try again. People are waking up in a whole new way to the difference between a progressive and a corporatist Democrat.

Exactly! Like Walmart. And Bernie Sanders is absolutely going after them. When I was in high school, minimum wage jobs were exactly what you said. But now millions and millions of people are trapped in them, sometimes even two or three to survive.
