For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

Needs more press:

-227 kids have died from influenza so far this flu season

-90% unvaccinated

-kids flu vax rates have dropped from 64% to 49% in past 5 years

Kids are dying from anti-vax nonsense and very few are reporting it.

One of the greatest presidents in US history used a wheelchair. Doctors said there was no indication of mental decline. He was a wise old man that stuttered and used logic instead of lies and occasionally misspoke. Like many people do everyday

You can’t have it both ways.
Our president claims that America’s gun violence crisis is a mental health issue, and then slashed ONE BILLION DOLLARS in school mental health resources.

@gabbygiffords.bsky.social was on the hill today urging members of Congress to stand against this dangerous agenda.

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record.

Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.
 
Today, we’re seeing the results.

I love Pop in all aspects , but most importantly for the compassionate human that he is.
With Gregg Popovich's retirement, the game has lost what many of his peers consider one of — if not the — greatest coach in NBA history.

He found success with a fiery and direct approach, but not without unwavering compassion and care.

"Pop is a generational leader."

Steve Deace has called for violence against LGBTQ people and drag queens. Guests on his show regularly dabble in antisemitism and argue that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

So, of course, he has had photo ops with the US VP multiple times.
