I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

"I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell." William Tecumseh Sherman, who died on this day in 1891

This is not X. No one owes you engagement. The world is on fire, and I am protecting my energy right now.

$806 billion: how much big corporations spent on stock buybacks in 2018, instead of passing their Tax Scam giveaways on to workers. The GOP can say what they want, but the proof is in the numbers. Tax cuts for corporations don't 'trickle down'. apnews.com/article/438f...

The US needs single payer healthcare to improve access and cut costs. Our system isn't broken, it's working perfectly. Unfortunately, it's designed for profit, not patient outcomes. It can't be fixed. It needs to be replaced! Vote for proponents of Medicare for all!

Let’s face it: dogs are terrible liars. 😂🐾 You walk in, and the trash is knocked over. 🗑️ Your dog: sitting there, guilty as sin, avoiding eye contact 👀 They might be awful at covering their tracks, but somehow we forgive them every time. #DogsAreTheWorstLiars #GuiltyPup #CanineComedy
