Look, if I could live off my parents $, you know I would!!! Who WOULDN’T?!
The hypocrisy of far right media crying about anyone calling them out at while posting crap like this
Katie Wilson is a millennial who has dealt with the same economic failures as many other millennials have
I would like to see more millennials in office, and less headlines whining about us

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.
He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYBODY!!!!
Tomorrow, Nov. 12, is the 55th anniversary of Exploding Whale Day. I got to talk about this to my marine bio class today, as I do every year to bring some levity and about the practical nature of how these things happen. 🧪🌎🦑🐋

"If we fight united"
Motherfucker, we WERE united. We were supporting y'all despite the pain because we believed it was for a greater good. Y'all burnt all that support and goodwill to the ground, not because people were going hungry or unpaid, but because *flights were getting canceled*.

I saw this thing saying “using only food, tell me where you live” and it struck me as odd because people assume foods are Extremely Regional and forget that People Travel & Take Good Recipes Away.

Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

Something I'm more broadly concerned about is charity fatigue. The asks being made of all of us by nonprofits are not going to decrease as time goes. People are being hit from all sides and both money and time for most people are finite.

Deleted last post because it felt like too much but the fact that I made £1.91 last week out of my art sales is quite hard to take when someone on Instagram accuses me of gatekeeping for not loving AI generated "art"

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?
He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.
