Tr*mp is going to die and we are going to be left with this sh*thread as POTUS.

Regressive tax hike on everything you buy plus tax cuts weighted toward the wealthy plus increased deficits plus slashing cuts to all public services and the social safety net... this is a very bad combination.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

(1/X) The next four years are likely to be a disaster in many regards: more plane crashes, more outbreaks of measles and other infectious diseases, snafus with tax refunds and Medicaid payments, terrorist attacks, and probably a recession. The media will tell us none of it is Trump's fault...

I've been screaming this for years.

Federal employees - are you tired of Elon Musk trying to contact you? Have you tried pretending to be the mother of his children?

The 13th Amendment allows for modern day SLAVE LABOR. They risking their lives for pennies.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

Holy shit.

It is very gratifying to finally have hard data on a phenomenon that we have all suspected to be the case since they started restricting mail and books from our groups.

A prison system's banned books reveal biases, fears, and goals of control. Some DOCs put lists online (WA, PA, MI). These are some books banned by Michigan prisons.
