If you're supporting ANY politician who doesn't support single payer healthcare ( #MedicareForAll) then you need to find a different politician to support.

Only when as a whole we begin doing this we're going to keep running around in circles fighting for what's right. It's time
I'm so excited that @senadorajulie.bsky.social has jumped in the US Senate race here in Colorado & is the primary opponent of John Hickenlooper (D) who's voted for MANY of Trump's picks for his administration. Julie is awesome! ✊🏽

This is really a wild statistic. Wow 😮
This really makes you stop & think about things.....

"Only two states in the entire country voted unanimously for their presidential pick." Let's take a look at that 👇🏽

What the hell?!?!

Why is nobody talking about this!??? Why?
People who exploit the most vulnerable in society should live a life behind prison bars & not pardoned by the President. WTF?!

Trump is recruiting for ICE with a $100K starting salary, $50K signing bonus, and $60K in student loan forgiveness—all while garnishing wages for working people who can't pay their student loans.

His message to working people is clear...

Yesterday, after 10 years of work, I decided to give up trying to find a publisher for my book and just do it myself. This morning, literally 24 hours later, I got an email from a major publisher asking to share my decade long project. A much appreciated late Christmas present. 😊🙏

Why exactly aren't democrats overwhelmingly supporting M4A & fighting to get it done? Because they, just like republicans, take HUGE bribes from the health insurance industry. And the industry profits from copays, deductibles, and denying payments. We need an ARMY of Luigis to fix that problem.

Sooooo nearly 80 years since that film came out? Wow, so in 80 years you & the rest of Congress have done what to end the wealthy getting everything while the poor & working class get nada?

Ya, probably not the best post. We've been suffering for decades despite poverty being fully solvable.
“It’s a Wonderful Life” came out in 1946, but its message still rings true. The wealthy prosper, while the working class struggle to get by. 1 in 3 Americans have had to dip into emergency savings, and 40% can’t cover a $1,000 emergency. That doesn't seem like a Wonderful Life for working families.

I didn't even hear about this so I went & looked at the Twitter account of DHS & what I saw opened my eyes.

Why isn't the media covering how DHS is using Twitter as a megaphone for extremist white Christian Nationalism? This isn't legal under the separation of church & state. It's disgusting!

This is almost certainly true and conversely I’m sure why there is particular emphasis placed on venerating/pushing the idea that super-young women should be considered most attractive/sought after because they’ll be more vulnerable/easily manipulated
I’m 100% convinced that the myth that women get unnatractive past 30 is entirely because by that age you’ve been through enough shitty experiences with men that you’re harder to manipulate.

It’s about not being as vulnerable and as naive, not about genuinely losing attractiveness.

Look at the design of this 1899 $2 bill.
Wow! I'd love to know who the illustrator was who did the design because this is beautiful! 👀

It's also a "large" bill, meaning is size & measurement. Much larger than US paper money today 💵
