Wanna know why calling them weird was so effective?
Because these are deeply insecure craven weenies willing to sell their souls for attention and power and, most of all, respect.
We have to pay attention because thry have power now, but we don’t have to give them respect. They can’t handle that.

Hey @electrifyamerica.com - we need double the units in Cincinnati. These are always full. I have been waiting 20 minutes. There are 2 more waiting near me and 3 other drivers have left, unwilling to wait longer.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Truman- the man who gave the order to drop the bombs- tried to build a national healthcare system after WWII but was dismissed as “socialism”.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Something I think gets lost in the debate over ACA enhanced premium tax credits: 65% of ACA marketplace enrollees have incomes under 200% of the poverty level ($31,300 for a single person). These are folks who make too much for Medicaid but don't have access to employer coverage.

17 years ago today, my friends and I were watching as Obama got elected, sobbing and chain-smoking cigarettes, waxing poetic about the first Black president.
In hindsight, it is a privilege to have believed in something so completely. I’ll never fault the person I was who believed in hope & change.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
