"Cutting Spending" is just a bullshit excuse to tear down social safety nets that WE have been paying into our entire working lives.

But you can't justify giving billionaires tax cuts if we're already at our debt ceiling.

Once again the magats voted against themselves.

Just a reminder, PIXAR tried to warn us TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Billionaires have lobbied for more than a decade now to keep the Federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour. That's roughly $59 per day.

They blame immigrants for stealing your jobs and suppressing your wages.

But let's look at things in perspective.
DID YOU KNOW...

HAPPY SUNDAY!

I LOVE YOU!!! ♥️

(you're probably thinking, "You don't even know me."

But if people can Hate for no reason, I choose to LOVE YOU for no reason.)

Dear Christians,

Why do you support the persecution of immigrants?

The keywords are "politely explored". Speaking for myself, I'm willing to engage in polite discussion regarding policy differences.

BUT if the person I'm engaging doesn't believe in my human rights or my right to exist; politeness is not a prerequisite.

It's called HYPOCRISY; a lack of moral consistency evidenced by behavior that is contrary to previously stated positions, sometimes blatantly so.

I live in California, the fifth largest economy in the world. We'll be just fine, thanks.
We could secede AND WE'D STILL BE A LEADING WORLD ECONOMY BY OURSELVES.

Go on, tell me why this is not Ok but keeping your neighbors across the street from having a say in your local government is. 😏

It reminds me of this meme I posted on Facebook. The Highlighted portion are my words.

Hello BlueSky! Let me start here on a positive note.

Meet "Bandit".
Bandit is a local squirrel that kept stealing from my bird feeders and I kept chasing off.
One day I saw it had pendant teats and I realized it was just a hungry momma foraging for its babies.

Bandit has her own feeder now.
