"We should have shorter weeks instead of bullshit jobs."
A-fucking-men.
A-fucking-men.
Universal basic income is nothing less than a goddamn human right just as much as universal healthcare and education are. And I don't care if anyone works less because we should be working less. We should have shorter weeks instead of bullshit jobs. We have the productive capacity to meet ALL NEEDS.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

As part of blocking Nixon's guaranteed income bill from reaching the Senate floor, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee said, "Who will iron my shirts?"
It would have dropped poverty by 60%.
If you want to put an end to this shit as I do, please join me in fighting for universal basic income.

I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:
✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.
Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Unfortunately, this is the giant hurdle to getting the Epstein files released. Do we think there are enough Republicans in Congress with a conscience to override the inevitable veto?
On the upside, Trump will have to explain his veto, and there will be NO acceptable answer.

If it does pass the Senate then it heads to Trump’s desk who will probably veto it, making the final question, can we get 2/3rds to override the veto in both chambers. I would be more than shocked if the answer is yes.
