If you fall for a billionaire telling you to hate your neighbors, especially if you claim to be Christian, I don't know, man. That's pretty stupid.

So my dad was telling me he bought a dozen eggs and realised, when he went to use them, that it was a pack of ten. Shrinkflation strikes again I guess *sigh*
I wonder how small they think products can get before they feel any shame! Eggs in a pack of two?

Coincidentally, I heard Scott Jennings for the first time today, while listening to a podcast. He is a total dipshit.
Looking forward to Scott Jennings going on CNN tonight and defending (checks notes) swastikas and nooses as being symbols of anything other than hate.

I'm feeling really amazed by what the Democrats have done re the shutdown. The elections last week were a mandate to be strong. The American people were, clearly, urgently seeking leadership from the Dems. The Dems are underestimating this dangerous time in America horrendously badly 😔

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.
Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.
No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.
Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Good advice for USA folks.
Again, I encourage you to talk to your local officials (mayor, city council, state reps and senators) about working immediately to limit the use of public and private area facilities for detention. If immigration enforcement doesn't yet have a big presence in your community, do it preemptively.

💯 this. We should tax the ultra-wealthy aggressively to dismantle their undemocratic economic power and curb the societal distortions that come with it.
It's not about getting their money for us. It's about them not having that much power. Tax and deflate their influence.

Alt: “a pile of money is burning” — a metaphor for taxing the ultra-wealthy — It's not about getting their money for us. It's about them not having that much power. Tax and deflate their influence. Literally burn their money.
