The opposite now is true for me. I created two accounts on FB so that one could be for politics, the other for family and friends. I don’t get too many notifications on either. Twitter–vile creatins there, including our POTUS who keeps attacking the Squad. Pelosi should have not attacked them in the first place. Trump weaponizes anything…[Read more]

Sanders campaign co-chair on health care plan: Joe Biden flat out lied

Interview with Nina!

Her so-called analysis is abysmal. Antagonistic to progressive movement in fiscal policy especially.

We’ve noticed a lot of birdies on our trip, but none attacking humans!

There was the cutest family (can’t recall the species) bobbing down the San Juan river when we were on float trip the other day. Also saw some golden eagles.

Maybe it’s cynicism, but I think DNC is still concerned about Bernie staying 2-3 in the polls, especially with Biden likely to slip. This is the race for delegates.

Just been travelling a bit and was busy before we went on vacation too. Still in CO but having to bunk down in Denver while our car gets looked at by a specialist as we’ve had some technical issues with it. (What can you say, the car is 15 years old and a hybrid!) But man it’s been nice to be in the mountains on this trip!

Thanks for your thoughts!

I don’t think she supports unionization of its workers as her predecessor did not as well. So, despite PP not being political, it just is. It inserted itself as political when it endorsed the baroness early on.

Iger may wonder why Ms Disney wasn’t outraged before. I know I’ve wondered.

If the video is the one that was in Tim Black’s report, I would say Robert Costas is one of the better neoliberal reporters, along with Jeff Stein (who is more progressive in bias) and at times, Dave Weigel, who is sorta left leaning.

We need to raise that Cap on SS. It’s ridiculously low.

To quote Bernie, this is an outrage.

Biden was being cuddled by political commentators on MSDNC last night and there was no mention of it. Hmm.

You just raised a point I hadn’t considered:

Also, a very important aspect to cancelling debt is whether or not a 1099 is issued. Will those forgiven debts be considered income by the IRS?

Problem is that Bernie may not have thought about that. But Warren may tell us with her “plan” if she tries to emulate Bernie.

I don’t think the individuals are contributing. It’s all from wealthy donors who are for equal social rights but not pay equity. Only a couple of the donors are for climate change (Steyer being one of them).

If your family benefited from the Trump tax cut, your taxes may go up. If your family is like mine in which we saw no benefit, I don’t think the taxes will go up that much. The first step is to repeal the Trump tax subsidies, then figure out real meaningful ways to pay for the programs. Warren’s wealth tax doesn’t add up to me, which is why I…[Read more]

Anyone ever notice how much more relaxed Bernie is in his own media. Of course, he’s in control, but that smile and his little bit of humor at the beginning is reassuring.

Wonder what time his speech is?

I’m traveling in Colorado now, and while there are latent Trumpers, there are plenty of progressives here. Yesterday I went into a shop and met a young woman (about 28) who wholeheartedly supports Bernie. I put her name into the BERN app.

Biden wasn’t prepared for debate, or at least getting slammed by Harris:

This is kinda noteworthy as Alameda County is where Harris was ..deputy district attorney, essentially where she got her professional start.
