My sister and I got this. My father died when I was 9 and my sister was 12. Fuck you, Jeanine Pirro.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

I wrote about the final season of "The Handmaid's Tale" and #Resistance feminism in retrospect, for @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/culture/on-t...
“The Handmaid’s Tale” Reflects the Exhaustion of Liberal Feminism
What’s most striking about the show, now in its final season, is not its hysteria but its lack of conviction.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.
It’s been the plan for decades.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

It was designed to tank the markets so the broligarchs could gobble us stocks at bargain basement prices. How many times will the regime pull this stock manipulation tactic in the next four years.

Why won't our own congress listen to us? We are under a fascist attack/takeover and our leaders are obsessed with decorum and business as usual.

If you want to eat the most expensive eggs you’ve ever had in your life, you should have backyard chickens.
Don’t get me wrong, I love them and have raised them, but they are an expensive hobby.
