"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." Justice Louis Brandeis, born on this day in 1856

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy

IMPORTANT EXPLAINER

Marry them? They want to take away women's right to vote So marry the man that will help take that right away from you Soon when he rapes his wife, it won't be illegal When he beats her, it's their business When he molests their children, he's has needs, SHE must have failed #NoWinning

Look none of this is difficult. The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.

I've seen people outside the US complaining the residents of the US are doing nothing. That perception is because the media largely isn't covering what's happening around the country. Not that it's a comfort to the rest of the world, but things ARE happening. Here's a thread about what I can confirm

Read it. We owe her. 💪💔

Pope Leo:

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Precisely this. #TrumpShutdown

Remember this when casting your vote 🗳️ next year!

I’d like the next Democratic candidate for President to run on making the Nuremberg trials look like a fucking birthday party.

Tag yourself with your number. I'm 2.

Trump is deranged, but we see this every day.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

And this is a really good point:

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

BREAKING: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is warning GOP members that if Democrats win the midterms, Trump will be impeached, ending his term. Not without cause. Sounds fucking AWESOME! 😎✨

The fact that he can instantly provide *detailed answers* is borderline supernatural political acumen, of course. He has, somewhere in that brain of his, coherent ideas about how the (his term) 'streetscape' of NYC needs to serve its people, and he can bring them to the fore at a moment's notice.

By clarifying the question each time, he's making a deliberate choice to hear the concerns, avoiding any possibility of misunderstanding, refusing to use this person's disability as an excuse not to treat them like anyone else with problems that need to be addressed.

It's kind of subtle, but when speaking to someone who is visibly disabled and obviously has barriers to communication, a lot of people (politicians specifically) would treat that as an excuse to not have to engage in any depth. Like, you can just say you misheard, right?

Australian researchers are pioneering earth-based 3D printing to build affordable, low-carbon homes using local soil and plant fibers. The innovation could cut costs by 60% and help solve Australia’s housing crisis sustainably. tinyurl.com/4kzff5me #Sustainability #3DPrinting #AffordableHousing

FACTS about SNAP: -35% to white people (largest share) -90% to people born in 🇺🇸 -86% to households with kids -70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

If you blame migrants collectively for the horrible actions of a few but do not hold white people collectively responsible when white people commit heinous crimes, that's racism. Just saying.

The last time minimum wage was increased was on July 24, 2009, when it rose to $7.25 per hour. You can't even buy a sandwich for this amount anymore. The cost of living has risen approximately 51% since 2009 and they wonder why people are on SNAP?

Wild that we don’t audit billionaires, but y’all will dissect a single mom’s grocery cart like it’s a crime scene.

This sums it up nicely in a nutshell.

She speaks the truth!!!!

Sometime today, Mike Johnson will say, "I've been very busy not watching pornography this morning and I am only just hearing about the voting yesterday so I am unable to comment on all of that right now."
