Again, if there's a Democratic majority in the House in 2027, I think it's imperative that they start impeaching Supreme Court justices.

THIS. I'm in a few FB raccoon groups. What used to be a genuine joy is now entirely ruined by AI content. "Who cares, its cute!" I DO. I care. It isn't cute, its literally not real. And it sucks bc the soulless slop takes away from how special the REAL moments in nature are.

I never spoke on this publicly but we were also subject to an anonymous false report— we thought it was a political attack, but it turned out it was the deranged 44 yo racist who lives downstairs with his mom. Despite clear lies (padded room, wrong gender of child), CPS “had” to investigate 🧵

SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett has 2 Black Haitian kids who she adopted. Today she ruled to expel 700K Haitians who were here legally. Proximity to white supremacy is not protection from white supremacy. And proximity to Black and brown people is not exemption from being a fascist and racist.

These candidates are winning with Democrats because the corporate centrist weakling approach has repeatedly failed to deliver the programs we hoped we were voting for. We wanted Mamdanis and got Schumers and Merrick Garlands and it sucks. The voters are not wrong. The party has failed us.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

Total lifetime charitable giving by these five parasites is ~$10 billion, or 0.4% of current net wealth, equivalent to the median American donating a total of $771 since they were born. (The parasites have another ~$30 billion in fake "philanthropy," money sent to tax-avoidance funds they control.)
