Protecting your privatized social security would require public obedience in the face of fragile egos.
Bernie Sanders: "I think this is a prelude not only to cutting benefits, but to privatizing Social Security ... why do you lie so much about Social Security? Why do you make it look like it's a broken system? The reason is to get people to lose faith in the system so you can give it over to Wall St"

Remember the Greatest Generation? Today’s GOP Is the Worst Generation
Republican pols, I listened to you prattle on for years about fascism and freedom. You were lying the whole time.

We didn't need joy and/or hope.

We needed justice!
The difference? Some people are actually happy about the pain being inflicted on the Latino community—and they probably claim to be Christian.

Why are people on the right so hateful?

We can all agree, no matter our politics, that chef José Andrés deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his amazing work with World Central Kitchen in disaster-stricken areas across the U.S. and the world.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Everyone knows that DOGE was also the name of the leader of Venetian oligarchs, right?
It's not by accident he chose DOGE.

I say again, support your local public libraries!

We visited ours today to file our toddler’s first-ever passport application. It’s a major public service not all libraries offer, so we are super thankful this is a thing here. The whole process took just an hour (including a stop for pastries).

An important thread.
Let's talk about peeing in space.

Several people, in response to my NY Times essay, have said that women couldn't go into space because we lacked the technology for them to pee in space.

I'm more worried about the deputy cabinet members.

They're the ones that don't need congressional approval.
Fake doctor ABC's Mehmet Oz

Fake wresting WWE's Linda McMahon

Fake FOX News' Pete Hegseth

A pattern is emerging.
