Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care.
I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

Volodomyr Zelenskyy: China is a powerful nation on which Russia depends completely. If they truly wanted this war to stop, they could compel Moscow to end the invasion. Without them, Vladimir Putin's Russia is nothing, but too often they stay silent and distant instead of ending abuse.

MSNBC has zero moral authority to talk about cowardice of Disney, ABC, or Republicans for bending the knee to MAGA when they did exact thing in their termination of me and others. They are doing the exact thing they complain about others doing.

Missouri voters overwhelmingly approved earned sick time last November. Governor Mike Kehoe and Missouri Republicans signed away that right.
Corporations won. Working Missourians lost. 
This is an actual email forwarded to me from an employee of a company removing earned sick time.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

How quickly they abandoned their "lower egg + gas prices on day one!" rant and embrace happily how he's making everything more expensive. It's a CULT.

While Ukraine's allies twist themselves into knots over how to provide it with security guarantees, Kyiv is moving ahead with its own way of keeping Russia at bay — a new cruise missile able to hit all of European Russia carrying a massive warhead weighing more than a ton.
Meet Flamingo, the missile that brings European Russia within Kyiv’s range
“You don’t need a scary name for a missile that can fly 3,000 kilometers,” says one of the Flamingo’s developers.
