Would a civilized country limit health care and food assistance for the poor...

The #SAVEAct creates new barriers to silence transgender voters and millions of others — it’s no accident, it’s voter suppression. Recently changed your name? If it doesn’t match what’s on your ID, you could lose your vote. #PrideMonth

Hell Yeah!! #SlavaUkraine #FuckPutin #FuckOrange

If you’re wondering why Gen Xers have turned into nihilists, remember we were told growing up in the golden age of the internets that technology would transform the world & save humanity. Now it’s the biggest source of corruption, exploitation & oppression in the modern world. It’s depressing af.

This POS has made America the land where #pricegouging is the new way to boost revenues, not fair competition.

Why does health care have to be attached to work? Why not have health care come out of universal taxes? Oh right, then everyone would get health care! #TaxTheRich

For Reals

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Lots of people asking about my plans for the 2028 election. I have a new, radical two-step process I intend to deploy: 1. Vote for my preferred candidate in the primary 2. Vote for whichever dem wins the primary in the general

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

Spare us the fake outrage.

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

We’re watching transparency erode as law enforcement begins to resemble secret police more than public servants. This piece unpacks how we got here, and why it should alarm us all.

Taylor Swift announced on Friday that she had bought back the rights to her first six albums. Swift said that her record-breaking Eras Tour helped make her acquisition of the masters. She did not disclose the price. nyti.ms/3FgfXzZ

Palantir is what happens when the Stasi and the free market have a baby.

Denise shared this. A judge said that Trump is a rapist. Another judge said that Trump sexually assaulted a woman.

How the hell is this right? I see it everyday in the news. Last CEO that got a huge bonus was Starbucks. And the year before that. Same shit, different company

Colonial destruction thru the ages: 1) Dehumanize the indigenous ppl. 2) Enact escalating brutality, violence, displacement, and humiliation. 3) When the people fight back, use their resistance as proof of their "violent nature" and start again at #1. Repeat endlessly.
