It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

The U.S. has shredded international law by providing the Israeli government with unconditional funding for genocide and shielding it from any accountability. This helped create the conditions for an authoritarian like Trump to dismantle everyone’s rights and democracy itself, with complete impunity.

Elon Musk thinks the poor are a "Parasite Class", & his philosophical guru Curtis Yarvin has "joked" that they should be melted down into biodiesel. But this is a fascist ethos, & some say the true "Parasite Class" are those who have become grotesquely rich off the labor of others.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Reporters. Are you just reporting what Trump or his spokespeople say, or are you reporting what is actually happening? If the former, you're just repeating government propaganda.

Think about it - so many immigrants make their livings within the food service industry. Whether they’re growing, or picking, or cooking, or serving - you can’t maintain disdain for the people who feed you if you actually understand how much work that takes.

Mes culpa, folks. I gotta say — I am in fact detecting some rizz from Mark Carney. I thought he was a rizzless nerd, but it appears I wasn’t familiar with his game. Or is Jon Stewart’s rizz so strong it rubbed off? Thoughts?? youtu.be/zs8St-fF0kE?...
