When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

It’s unreal to watch the Putin take over of the American government. I thought Americans were smarter than this. #elections #trump #putin #putintakeover #disappointment #gop #maga

You know I wonder if they called 1930’s German Jews alarmists.

Americans didn’t want another old president so they elected a 78-year-old. Americans wanted to end crime so they elected a criminal. Keep it going lol

One thing I think people talking about the threat of authoritarian creep have gotten, if not exactly wrong, not quite right either is to frame discussion in terms of various European precedents. Those are relevant to be sure, but we also have an American precedent - namely the South before 1965.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

I wonder where were these headlines before the election? Yet another example why mainstream media failed us. #mediafailedus #mediafaileddemocracy #elections #Trump #democracyindanger @cnn.com @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x

Sometimes I wonder if Jesus is looking down, shaking his head, and saying "stop calling yourselves Christians..."

Republicans: We don’t know enough about Kamala & we just don’t trust her. Also Republicans: We know Trump and Gaetz are rapists & we just don’t care.

I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.

They elected a philandering rapist who in turn, has nominated an accused child sex trafficker to be his AG, a serial cheater who assaulted his babysitter to lead HHS and a guy who was investigated for sexual assault to be his SECDEF, and they’re STILL slut-shaming Kamala? Fucking losers.

Reminder for myself.. “Accept that you cannot control the uncontrollable. You can choose how you think about these things and if you spend less time worrying about them you have more time to focus on the areas you can control.” #deepbreath #keepitcool #godhelpus

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.
