I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man, who does absolutely nothing that is useful, to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence. — Eugene V. Debs.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

If you’re looking for somewhere to lay blame for the fuckery, start with Rupert Murdoch and Fox “News.”
They have poisoned the planet with their propaganda for decades. We have at least two generations of people who are completely ignorant and incapable of understanding reality because of Fox lies.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Infant mortality actually increased by over 7% after the Dobbs decision. This is because women are being forced to give birth to babies with untreatable birth defects (and then they're forced to watch them die)

"Historian Timothy Snyder has referred to this as 'obeying in advance,' or 'anticipatory obedience' — leaders, politicians, and institutions either fear what will happen if they resist, or think they can benefit from fascist takeover and so comply without a fight."
Chris Wray folds like cheap suit. Don’t be Chris Wray.
The FBI director obeys in advance.

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.
