Proud to be woke because I care about social justice. Paying taxes is a high class problem. Vote because you care about others and recognize that other people can do well and make society better
Pinned
I broke down and joined here. Looking forward to carrying on the good fight

We should trade Florida for Alberta
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

One of the funny things about this is that if Trump hadn't done that stupid "51st state" stuff and imposed all those tariffs, right now Pierre Poilievre would be prime minister and Trump's biggest international hype man

I am truly inspired by the Minnesota protesters
They are being pepper sprayed, shot at, dragged out of their cars and arrested, and yet their numbers keep growing

The real problem I have with the “worst of the worst” MAGA/ICE mantra is that they attempt to justify it by saying it is OK to deport 99 innocent immigrants if they catch 1 violent criminal
They have it EXACTLY backwards
And that, fellow babies, is the BASIS for Constitutional due process

Watching MSNow with Republican talking heads consistently saying “10 million illegals” flooded across the border during Biden’s term
Those were encounters and include all of the people turned away. Most estimates say 1.7 - 2 million actually made it in
Nobody correcting them.

In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life.
Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

As an immigrant who spoke only Spanish as a kid, I can see myself in Liam Ramos and so many other children who are being terrorized by ICE. My anger and fury is real, and I look forward to hauling all those responsible in front of the oversight committee when I’m chair.

Nobody should care about my movie opinion, but I loved Sinners and Frankenstein and really enjoyed Bugonia. One Battle After Another--not so much. Sean Penn was phenomenal in an intentionally over the top role, however

Christine Lagarde of the European Central Bank said this: “It takes time to build trust. It doesn’t take much time to erode it. Trust has been eroded — maybe a little bit, maybe a lot.”
