Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

Or patriarchy ... Hmmm.
it's interesting how the nation-state has fully convinced people that it's natural. inevitable. rather like capitalism and monarchy.
Twitter discourse seems to primarily be chuds discovering someone outside their bubble saying the earth is round or rain is wet, and losing their minds in shock and consternation.

I was frustrated back in 2016 about so many people not seeing the danger for themselves, and turning on us for trying to point it out. Thinking if they haven’t come around after 10 years of more evidence, that they aren’t going to?

Just feels real bad to be told your existence is too controversial to allow children to know about it
JUST IN: The Supreme Court rules in favor of parents who want to opt out of classes that use books with LGBTQ characters.
Supreme Court rules for religious opt-outs for kids in public schools
At issue was whether school systems are required to provide parents with an "opt-out" option when parents claim their religious beliefs conflict with their children's course material.

The MAGA white Christian nationalist project is bound to fail. They dont have the numbers, and the world, specifically people of color and women, have gained more influence and wealth over the past 60 years. Still, they'll try and, in the process, destroy the country and themselves.

I think a lot about what it must be like for Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown Jackson to serve on this court.
I think a lot about Justice Sotomayor describing going to her office to cry.
I am very grateful to these women. This can’t be easy.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time.
The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

"We fear that if this bill passes, a village in rural Alaska might lose its one-and-only grocery store because of a drastic decline in SNAP dollars. It might also lose its sole health care clinic or hospital because it cannot sustain its services with decreased Medicaid reimbursements."
“The likely impacts from the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ are particularly ugly for our home state, Alaska,” write Bryce Edgmon and Cathy Giessel, two state lawmakers. “The bill being rushed through Congress is based on a one-size-fits-all approach that does not reflect these realities on the ground.”

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity
It's interesting because despite Hungary's much-touted Orbanist pro-family and supposedly fertility-inducing policies, such as exempting families with 3+ kids from all income taxation, the Hungarian fertility rate has plummeted right into the toilet in the last few years

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.
This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.
Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Based on random reports that have hit the internet, it seems at least 9 people have died in ICE custody in the USA, and there's been at least one stillbirth.
