Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

Made a short doc about a man in LA who still makes neon signs. He calls it “the lost and found art.” Check out the full thing on YouTube: youtu.be/SSNfDodj674?...

Like for real, how do you make Prince's color and the name of one of his bands (the one most closest associated with said color) and think you can repackage it as some political olive branch?

Do you know how PETTY Prince was?

From @theathletic.com: Unlike previous generations of sports fans, young boys are growing up rooting for the NBA and WNBA. It’s no longer uncool for boys to cheer for female athletes. nyti.ms/47a27Jo

That time I lamented so much and so earnestly on Twitter that the Boston premiere of a Norwegian theater company’s PUPPET adaptation of Moby-Dick was sold out, that they invited me to attend and do an interview with the director and actors on stage after one of the performances

Once again I beg you to consider my proposal that a rotating committee of librarians and stage managers be put in charge of the US.

It seems that the only trans person known to be in the orbit of this horrific Kirk assassination saga expressed shock and horror, and immediately cooperated fully with law enforcement.

imagine a world where a democratic governor pardoned a leftist who murdered someone a conservative at a protest

you’ll really, really have to imagine it because it would never ever happen
I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020
A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

This is horrific. No one in the political arena should face violence, regardless of their views. And I fear the crackdowns this terrible crime may inspire. https://loom.ly/kwaYMoI

This is how all Democrats should respond
@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."

He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.
