50% of workers can't afford healthcare.
People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries.
GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.
… and Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay out.
And people think moms getting SNAP are the problem.

I often think about how Cheney wanted revenge for what happened to Nixon, and how we live in the ruins made by that dream.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

ICE could hire russian mercenaries — would be next level for them to get H1-B visas for their storm troopers.
ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.
It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

hmmmm. prob.
And while we're dealing with denial.. there's no way there aren't future plans for this whole building. A giant modern addition on just one side, stuck there like an out-of-control tumor? No. They're taking the whole White House down. They're trump towering it.

remember back when there’d be days and days that presidents would just be presidenting and you’d just be living and then there’d be news that something was signed or someone got an honor or a meeting happened… jeeezuz. we’re now so deep in firehose onslaught everything is almost incomprehensible.

We have a president that hates the majority of the citizens of the U.S.

my bandwidth to get through life is restricted on a good day. the rising evil in the world takes up so much space in my mind imagining how horrific it is for the people in its direct path and knowing it’ll soon find its way to me. This is how fascism operates: its aim is to wear everyone down.

always thought it was so ironic that USA thought it had some corner on freedom… like canadians, portuguese, swiss, dutch, scandinavians, etc were in gulag. our freedom has always come with an asterisk. we’re free to have the most expensive health care, the worst education system, the most racism…

great video showing D reps outside the capitol ready to work and explaining why they are there and committed. it’s refreshing. it humanizes these reps for me — seeing people who appear to truly care, with no sign of Rs. Seems this strategy is working. Tuck Frump!
From every corner of the country, Dems showed up for work—traveling long days to do our jobs, to reopen the government, to save healthcare, to support our communities, and to save our democracy. Because, that is what we do. But, where are our GOP colleagues? Nowhere to be found.
Rep. Stansbury: Dems showed up to work. Republicans did not.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It.
Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

same freaks who say “you’ll have to pry my gun from my cold, dead hands,” are the same freaks who say “i don’t want guv’ment between me and my doctor!” …. meanwhile, in both cases, the corporate lobby laughs all the way to the bank.
EVERY time since Columbine that people have been slaughtered at school, house of worship, theater, etc. we have been screeched at by 2nd amendment freaks about the right to protect against tyranny.
Where are they now?
OH they’re masked in camo *checks notes* DOING ALL THE TYRANNY.
