Counter idea… We maintain all the current tax cuts for 99.5% of Americans - those making less than 1M a year but remove the tax cuts for the rest - .5% of the entire population. Not explode the deficit and destroy Medicare. Why is this even a discussion?

Step 1: Starve a population into desperation and madness. Step 2: Offer food with inscrutable rules. Step 3: Open fire when a desperate population breaks an inscrutable rule. Step 4: Blame the population for what they made you do. Step 5: (optional): Deny it happened. www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/m...

WOW... he is a MESSY bitch!

Unplanned advocacy at the pool hall.

Like she's going to look into that....

It is NOT antisemitic to criticize this behavior. Even loudly. Even with public protest. There is nothing inherently Jewish about what these soldiers are doing. And conflating these ideas is the propaganda being used to excuse horrific behaviors. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Having a nation-state tied to a religion is SO problematic. "Israel's foreign minister, Gideon Sa'ar, released a statement saying he was "shocked" by the incident, which he called "pure antisemitism"." Is it pure? Or are the nation's actions towards Palestinian civilians the issue?

I am actively encouraging my daughter, senior CHEME, to choose Europe. I'd visit!

Criticizing actions by the state of Israel is not automatically anti-Semitic.

If you got the feeling that DOGE was a fever dream of a drug-addled mind… You may be right!

I cannot find anywhere any details about these 49 "refugees." "...many of the 49 intend to return for visits, holidays or even to manage businesses. This alone calls their claims into serious doubt." Is the administration racist? Pretty fucking obviously yes, thanks. www.npr.org/2025/05/12/n...

I love everything about this.

Never go "full isolationist."

The US is an "every man for himself" nation. I distinct move backward for humanity. A giant leap forward for predatory rich people.

Where is the GOP alumni in this fight.

This admin is the fucking worst....

No world leader should return to the Oval Office.

You know... I hadn't drawn that comparison, but now that you mention it....

Back the Blue, right? www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

Demand we pledge "Liberty and Justice for All" Then cry "No.. Not like that."
