Kroger's potential merger with Albertsons would combine 5,000 supermarkets into one mega company.

The deal could affect grocery stores relied on by 85 million households.

What's to stop this new goliath from jacking up prices if customers have nowhere else to shop?

New slogan for the GOP:

"The Republican Party. Because nothing says 'small government' like arresting librarians for having books that aren't approved by the State."

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams maligns Black people as “a racist hate group.”

Lemme get this straight: White people in power kidnapped, trafficked, raped, & enslaved Black people for 300 years, subjected Black people to Jim Crow for another 100 years, subjected Black people to mass incarceration & the war on drugs for another 60 years, paid $0 reparations ever—& Adams feels HE’S the victim?

Reminds me of that old saying—When you’ve had privilege your whole life, equality feels like oppression.

@seeme I guess he thinks "international" means "special finders, keepers zone"
#CBSMornings allows without comment @[email protected] to suggest the US should have shot down the Chinese balloon while it was in International airspace rather than letting it enter US airspace. Is there anyone out there who understands that following Rubio's suggestion would be considered by the Chinese government an act of war?

This is a video of earrings I finished yesterday. 1 1/2 inch long sterling silver dangle earrings (length from top of ear wire) with 1/2 kite shape dangling charm. The charm is decorated with raised free form shapes in a vertical pattern. The free form shapes, which are Keum Boo gilded with 24k gold, are in the foreground and there's patina on a textured background that forms the kite shape. The dangle charms hang from 14k gold filled ear wires.
In the discussions about race around Tyre Nichols’ murder and the men who committed it, the level of self-hatred the officers exhibited is profound and needs to be examined. Race even figures in how the officers are being treated. Where are the police unions that always ALWAYS come to the aid of white officers, even when they are caught on video planting evidence and shooting unarmed people in the back. These Black officers forgot who they were. But the system that used them did not.

“Two Americas.”

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.
