Let's elect people who want to dismantle the wealth class, not USAID and medical research.
Rich people constantly subjecting us to trauma. War, pedophilia, genocide, children forced at gun point to go into mines.
We need to stop them. We need to stop them all worldwide.

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

Housing is key to abolishing poverty.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Amen to all of this. @chuckschumer.com lead, or get out of the way!!!
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

Everybody has it backwards.
Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.
They’re creating a world they control completely

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a research study I just launched on rest, energy, & ME/CFS, open to people with ME/CFS & medical or healthcare providers who are currently practicing or conducting research & have had at least 1 patient or participant with ME/CFS. Visit restandmecfs.com for more.

It makes perfect sense. If trump can't end the wars, he'll get his fluffer, Bezos, to stop reporting on them. Voila! Disappeared!
But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Why are people so damn racist? Can you even imagine being so insecure about yourself that the only way you can feel ok is to bully people who look or speak differently?
I live in Florida, and I have a lot of Latino friends. They all speak English, put they are PISSED about this. 😡

Secret? I'm not so sure we didn't already figure this out. I've learned a lot about the oil business by watching Landman. Oil co's use turbines to power oil wells. Switching to clean energy isn't possible without decades of a lot of focused work, and a ton of money. But I think it's too late anyway.
Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠
A Secret Oil Cartel Might Have Killed Our Clean-Energy Future
In a landmark antitrust case, Michigan alleges oil companies colluded to “capture and kill” clean-energy and electric-vehicle efforts.

Not one of these clowns should receive a single yes vote from a single Democrat.

Another batch of Trump's judicial nominees refused in their confirmation hearings today to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election, which annoyed Sen. Richard Blumenthal enough for him to call them "monkeys" and "puppets"

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one

I will never stop being angry that USAID was dismantled. I propose that we dismantle ICE and rebuild USAID. USAID has infinite value for a fraction of the cost.
Reporting this story in Cameroon, I met people who were blind because larval worms died in their eyeballs: NTDs cause immense suffering and disability.
But they're preventable! And treatable! And eliminatable!

U.S. tax dollars backed the effort to wipe out neglected tropical diseases for 20 yrs. Many countries eliminated 1 disease, and were tantalizingly close on others. Then the U.S. walked away – jeopardizing all that investment, with diseases poised to come roaring back www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/h...

Amen. Go ahead and "patrol" my ballot box. I drive there at midnight, and might forget my glasses.
they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it

The clock is ticking. The NIH now has 180 days to develop an implementation plan for the ME/CFS Research Roadmap. In 6 months, we SHOULD have a plan to implement the NIH’s roadmap for biomarkers, treatments & clinical trials.

Immigrants are good for the country. They grow GDP and reduce deficits. Isn't that what conservatives claim they want to do?
Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.
