Don't know if S. J. Gould really said that but it is a good quote
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

What i do not understand is why Republican congress members sites idle letting this happen without objection. They're the ones that have traditionally kept griping about the Constitution and weaponization of the DOJ. I mean, this is in your face obvious. Hypocrites

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Ridiculous! #Starbucks has the most expensive coffee in town. Still they ask customers to subsidize their workers pay by asking for tips. With those prices, they can't pay livable wages? #livablewages #corporate www.investopedia.com/starbucks-fa....

Let's see. On one hand we have a woman working to build a democracy against an authoritarian regime. On the other hand is a man trying to break down a democracy for authoritarianism. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

And it not insurrection for a judge to deem an action by the executive branch illegal. Republicans used the judiciary against Democratic administration's all the time.
It is not insurrection to disagree with the president.
It is not insurrection to call the president a soulless piece of shit.
It is not insurrection to say a damp dishcloth would be a less destructive occupant of the Oval Office.
It is not insurrection to demand a better president.
