Striving to be a good human, doing a little everyday to make the world better while still maintaining my bitter nihilistic perspective. Progressive, radical, atheist, and antinatalist if we are being honest.
While we were all looking in one direction at the egregious $500,000 lawsuit money grab by 8 Republicans senators added to the CR no one noticed that they are now going to ban Hemp &THC products! This spells disaster for the hemp derived product industry and businesses.

Did you vote to starve 1 in 8 Americans? Well if you voted for trump then you did! That's right. Annually 12% of Americans use Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Programs (SNAP) and trump has the funds available to continue feeding them but he refuses to release them.

This interview does a great job of explaining why the $20 billion (+ maybe another $20B?) Argentina is for all the wrong reasons and is entirely political. If you are not just mad about it, but also confused like I was this will help, at least with the confusion part. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

The Trump administration authorized a $20 billion financial lifeline for Argentina as it faces an economic crisis. The deal has raised major questions and criticism about its merits. President Trump a...

House Republicans stopped revising their legislative calendar back in July. So I updated it for them. Since July 4, the House has conducted 20 days of business in 16 weeks. Oct. 27-30 remains TBD.

As someone who takes regular long baths with Epsom salts and exfoliating mitts I'm convinced that most people are walking around in a husk of their own dead skin cells all day. Also I must mention that of course I rinse with clean water after the bath to get my own broth off of me completely.

Pretty embarrassing. Also it's wildly insane and journalistically irresponsible to write a story about the increase in people's reliance on GoFundMe campaigns to cover groceries without mentioning the root cause of the issue 🧵.

Honestly? Tax them into oblivion, force 99% donation, or guillotine, let them choose. At this point it's absurd that they have been allowed to amass and horde so much wealth and power.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It's not hard folks. STATE THE FACTS AS THEY ARE and then promise to rectify them and enforce justice. This is the bare minimum required of every elected democrat and democratic candidate. Demand it.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
