Since Krysten Sinema is trending, please note her connection to this bombshell expose from the NYT today — she is the TOP Dem recipient of National Restaurant Association PAC money stolen from workers nytimes.com/2023/01/17/us/ #ServSafeScam

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, surrounded by the super rich, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin agree that they won’t end the filibuster. Then they high-five. Both have used their position to hurt working people, and the planet, and make their rich friends richer.

Great to see CNN publish president’s piece on the closing of Noma and the issues with the industry. Lots of work goes into these kinds of pieces from the author, researchers and by an outlet’s editors and fact checkers. Great to see it live.

Oh man, just logged back on to notice the right being all confused by my math. Ahem: 1/2 of Congress + Supreme Court = Conservatives control 1/2 of federal govt

Political party *literally in charge* of half of federal government uses its formal government power to launch investigation into how it is being silenced?!??? nytimes.com/2023/01/10/us/

Would be a wonderful act of patriotism if a bunch of moderate House Republicans decided to finally abandon their dysfunctional party — which has clearly been taken over by Jan 6 extremists — and vote for Democratic Speaker of the House.

These criminal referrals are not about Democrats holding Trump accountable. Or Republicans holding Trump accountable. This is our democracy holding Trump accountable.

Our president @mayawiley: “It is absolutely clear that when politicians drive stereotypes & drive the underpinnings of hate, it emboldens it and gives it permission. It is our job as citizens, as people who reside in this country, to say if you do that, you do NOT represent us.”

By all means, find and watch the segment of and just finished on MSNBC. I am even more inspired to fight every day. We can't sit down. We can't accept this as normal. If we don't fight, who will? And yes, I am unapologetically gay.

Funny how tweets interfere with democracy and Twitter/Musk shrugs but tweets interfere with global corporations and Twitter/Musk gets on that pronto

Lost a lot of elections in my life. Incl some last night where I’d hoped for different outcomes. But I never thought to question the integrity of our elections, let alone outright attack our democracy. Which by the way I don’t think makes me exceptional. It makes me an American.

Minimum wage measures ALWAYS win with voters AND increase turnout among lower-frequency voters, especially Democrats. It’s a win-win!!!!!!

BREAKING: Nebraska votes to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 by 2026. The current minimum wage is $9. One-fifth of workers in the state will see their wages rise.
