I hate that this is what we have to focus one when we don't have health care or a living wage, but goddamn, it feels good to see a positive headline.

Minnesota is going to have state provided health insurance, you can do two things at once.

People keep saying this, and it's inevitably followed by a state-level example.

The problem with that is 2/3 of the states are controlled by fascists, and I don't think 2/3 of the states should have to go without a living wage and health care.

Do you?

The Federal Government should be doing more than writing blank checks for other countries' wars.

It sucks but we have agency at a local level and must do our best.

For now.

Come November the only good we're going to be capable of is that which we do with our own two hands.

Sorry for being so doom and gloom on a Saturday morning.

I just look at our two presidential candidates and it breaks my heart to know that nothing is going to stop the incoming validation of fascism.
