Ten yrs ago today one of the greatest tragedies in our history occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary.
A second tragedy is that 10 yrs later we still haven't elected enough people to stand up to the NRA & prevent these shootings.
America fails its children w such casual disregard.

We are literally trained to think insanely.
We do NOT need more nukes.
"Mutually Assured Destruction" is meaningless if you're dealing with a madman.
Already the nuclear industry is claiming the fusion discovery for itself & we're all just supposed to go along.
REFUSE. 2/2

With fusion the single greatest discovery on the path to cheap and clean energy, the govt. couldn't help itself yesterday.
It touted first and foremost how this discovery will help us create more nuclear bombs, using meaningless words like "deterrent" & "national security." 1/2

Fusion is not only a scientific key to creating clean energy. The image is a personal key to repairing the world. open.substack.com/pub/marian…

Call your Senators and ask them to support the farmworkers!
A lot of people don't realize how much difference a constituent call can make. It doesn't take that many for an aid to say "Senator, we received a lot of calls about that today."
Call (202) 224-3121 #useyourvoice
URGENT: Farm workers are in DC lobbying for immigration reform. Add your voice to theirs by calling your US Senators and tell them to deliver on farm worker legalization now. ufw.org/senatecalls #WeFeedYou

Like the 2017 tax cut that gave $.83 of every dollar to the richest corporations and individuals and clearly will never pay for itself?
Like an almost $900 billion defense budget?
Like subsidies to oil and Pharma companies are already making billions of dollars in profit?

When a politician supports a humanitarian policy now, they feel the need to justify the move in economic terms.
How about “We need to feed hungry children because it’s the right thing to do”?
The people who should feel the need to justify themselves are those who
would say no.
This week, I introduced a new bill to help more kids get no-cost meals at school without bombarding their families with paperwork. This will not only strengthen our workforce of tomorrow by improving student achievement, attendance, and behavior; it will save schools money.

This article puts ice in my veins.
Among other things, US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says that if she had planned Jan. 6, "they would have come armed and they would have won."

The military using our public schools as recruiting sites has been a slow-moving encroachment that's gotten full on not-okay.nytimes.com/2022/12/11/us/jr…

I agree entirely.
Grant Wahl, 48 y/o soccer reporter, was kicked out of a game at the World Cup by Qatari officials when he showed up wearing a rainbow flag shirt a few weeks ago. Today he died while covering the Netherlands v Argentina game. This deserves a full investigation. Super suspicious
