How many conservatives does it take to sink a ship? Ten: one to cut the lifeboats for tax savings, nine to blame the crew for not swimming fast enough. #politicaljokes #lol

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Let me be clear about one, I do not believe that Republicans are bad people or that all Democrats are saints. The unwillingness of people to cross party lines and have adult dissenting discourse has led us to this point. To the very brink of our own destruction by a megalomaniac.

Proof that this administration has no interest in the preservation of any of our lives, especially that of #LGBTQ & #bipoc communities. I am proudly a member of both so you can only imagine how shit like this makes me feel.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Try to ponder on this number: 50,000 Palestinian lives exterminated, mostly women and children. That's everyone you've ever known and loved destroyed in the blink of an eye. While the rest of the word debates on whether or not they deserved it. #savegaza #palestine

Sweet Release Upon foreign gazes, we quietly alight, Worn thin by the toil of each grueling fight. Where wandered you, in windswept range, When earthbound paths began to change? Oh, may the dawn of a tranquil release, See fear dissolves into eternal peace. #poetry #poetrycommunity

It's impossible to understand #DonaldTrump without examination of the man who mentored him, Roy Cohn.

The argument that people should be given autonomy in all financial affairs without government intrusion falls apart when one considers exploitation. The two aren't mutually exclusive concepts. Unlimited wealth has steep consequences for the individuals not benefitting from it. #inequity #classism

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.
