I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.
Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Repeat after me: *the purpose of a system is what it does*

If you wanted a justice system whose purpose was to ensure public safety you would need to make a different system that *does that*

The current carceral system's purpose is racialized oppression. That's what it does.
For the people asking me what I mean by "people over institutions" and "abolish the carceral state":

The American prison industrial complex is a for profit institution built on the systematic oppression and criminalization of racialized people. It should be eliminated.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

FYI: men can’t have sex with underage girls.

It’s called rape.

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday?

What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators?

Can we make this a thing?

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Dear News Reports:

The word you're looking for about "Cheney's allegations about weapons of nass destruction" in Iraq is "lie."

The word you're looking for about "aggressive US military policy" is "imperialism."

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

The president is experiencing OBVIOUS mental and physical decline. Pre$$ ignores. He barks about a third term, and the press asks how he'll do it, rather than pointing out that it's unconstitutional. That's not legal.

Oligarchs purchased the news media and it died.

Corporate news is a cancer.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Seeing a homeless person doesn't harm you in the slightest.

The only person harmed by being homeless is the homeless person. And here you are wanting to punish that person for being homeless.

The government shouldn't punish people for being poor. It should make them not poor anymore.

Daily reminder that the United States sends billions of dollars in weapons to the UAE and our companies do tens of billions of dollars in Dubai every year.

Just like we sent billions in weapons to Saudi Arabia to kill Yemeni kids, and billions in weapons to Israel to kill Palestinian kids.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."
