In my opinion, we are force fed violence and death by the ruling class and govt to desensitize us so the public does not react to their same violence and murder abroad. Our govt killing kids overseas should shock and disgust people, but how many times have we watched our own kids be gunned down?

In general I think most Americans have lost the plot. They are so comfortable that they truly can’t understand the concept that everything is normal until the day it isn’t anymore… Your normal life is not guaranteed

Wow. 🔥🔥🔥 This new bombshell Oxfam report is exactly what billionaires don’t want us to know: Apparently 60% of global billionaire wealth comes not from entrepreneurship… …but from inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies. Share the truth:

I worry about my neighbors. I don’t know if they are documented or not. I honestly could not care less. The worst interaction I’ve ever had was their little dog peeing on my mailbox. I’m scared the little girl who rides my daughter’s bus could be stolen out of her school. It’s heartbreaking & scary

Remember how we laughed at people who got medals from Trump because he's a fcking criminal? Getting a medal from a genocidaire and war criminal like Joe Biden, responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents, isn't an honor either.

Last year a private equity firm bought up 29 nursing homes in Iowa for $85 million. The firm has been fined 17x more than one facility's previous owner — including for one instance where a resident choked to death. Private equity has no place in our health care system.

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid $6,200 a month to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

This train is never late: “It’s only the first 100 days, you can’t criticize Biden!” “It’s almost the midterms you can’t criticize Dems!” “It’s a presidential election next year you can’t criticize Dems!” Let me know when the 2 week “criticize Dems now” period starts. I always get it wrong.

CNN is hopelessly broken. 1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law. 2. It would violate several treaties. 3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

Democrats are not your fucking friends. They are an adversary party who we should all be criticizing all the time. And I don’t mean adversary party with respect to the GOP. I mean an adversary party with respect to marginalized, minoritized, and vulnerable people. Trans people. Black people. Women.
