I am proud to be an American, but right now I am not proud of America.

My family has served this country in the military and civil service for many generations.

I can not tolerate the racism, fascism, sexism, and hatred of the Trump Admin. RESIST!

Oh god I thought all of you posting about ordering economic reports from DoorDash were joking
🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed."

I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

Been following the Seattle mayoral race and I just gotta say it’s wild to see people weaponize “her parents help her with childcare costs so she’s unfit to be mayor” when it’s brought up that the current mayor pulled a gun on a pregnant woman a few decades ago.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.
Rand Paul: "People say, 'Oh, people have a right to say things.' Well, actually they don't necessarily have a right to say things. Many people have in their contract what we call a morals clause ... I think it is time for this to be a crackdown on people."
