I’m in love with this cat and Go Bills #caturday #BillsMafia 🐈🏈🦬

This Needs To Stop!🛑 Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"? There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

Trump is the guy who gets his followers to complain about “Sleepy Joe” Biden while constantly failing asleep during meetings 🤔 The cognitive dissonance is insane 😭😭 Amplify this.

Since my 3 years living in Kolkata, India, I’ve always been fascinated with how the Hindi word for “tips”, Baksheesh, sounds a lot like “Boxing” Day, which started as a British tradition of giving year-end bonuses to household help and other working class employees. 🤔

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth. When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast. www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h...

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

@thetnholler.bsky.social has this right. To elaborate, Venezuela nationalized its oil in 1976, and compensated foreign oil companies while doing so. The disputes during the Chavez era (2002-3 and 2007) were chaotic, but were about contracts and compensation, and had NOTHING to do with US oil.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc. Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

Rob Reiner had one of the most wide-ranging audiences of any American filmmaker. People rewatch his films with nostalgia and joy. They quote them with parents and pass them down to children. Ignore the other one's commentary. It's like a black hole commenting on the sun.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

I’m in love with this guy 😻 #caturday

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

If the Buffalo Bills would play the entirety of every game like they played during the last 10 minutes against the Bengals, they would be unstoppable #BillsMafia They NEED that energy in the playoffs! Get out of their heads and get hungry. Not just in the last quarter.

Every time Harrison Butker goes wide right, the #BillsMafia feels a slight self correction in the universe 😭

By Tom Cotton’s standards, Rose and Jack would have been fair game

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice. 📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

As a veteran who served in intelligence, I want to introduce you to EXORDS: the execute order from the President to SecDef. This allows 60 days operations under the War Powers Act. The President must advise Congress and gain approval to continue. No EXORD was sent to Congress. This is illegal

Chronic kidney disease, a silent killer, is a major contributor to heart disease. In fact, many kidney patients to die from heart disease before starting dialysis. Yet no one talks about it, nor does the public talk about how phosphate additives worsen kidney function for CKD patients. #nephsky

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

To use a #BillsMafia analogy, this is as if Sean McDermott said that Josh Allen was at fault for executing a play call made by Joe Brady. Or, if you prefer a restaurant analogy, it’s like the head chef blaming the line cook for following the expo’s directions. That’s not how brigades work.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Especially while at the same time, accepting tax dollars for said private jet while moving money around to avoid paying income taxes. 1%ers pay nothing because the middle class pays more to make up for it. But the squeezed middle class makes too much income to qualify for ACA subsidies etc.

Tell me again how it’s not a war on women. I’d gut every single one of them like the jellyfish they are.

“Is it Alive?” A #caturday photo essay

Pretty sure that’s how DJT looked at Bubba too 🤣

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Considering how often former Israeli PM Ehud Barak socialized with Jeffrey Epstein, one has to wonder if the kompromat included Zionism. Both Trump and Bill Clinton (at the very least) had that in common.

Still wild to me that Trump pointed in a woman’s face and said “Quiet, Piggy!” and literally no one who witnessed it was like “Whoa, there bro” either because they didn’t care or they weren’t surprised, or both.

Like probably most women, I’m not a bit surprised when we find out that rich and powerful scumbag men also have sexually abused, assaulted, or raped at least 1 woman. These men start with misogyny. A sign of poor character is abusing those you think are beneath you.

Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn’t changed one bit. She’s always been an attention whore. It explains every public thing she’s ever done.

Priorities.

Don’t forget malignant narcissist. Roy Cohn showed DJT how to cheat, then DJT found Elon Musk. For more, check out what biographer @sethabramson.bsky.social wrote about them.

The Situation Room is normally used for secret national security-related planning. On Wednesday, White House officials held a meeting with Lauren Boebert about the Epstein files in the Situation Room. Karoline Leavitt wouldn't say why it was held there.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

These people like John Fetterman have one religion in common: Wealth. Its credo is that a person’s worth is directly proportional to the amount of investments you have. If you don’t invest, and you live off of a salary instead, they don’t give a shit and are contemptuous about you. #EatTheRich

@fetterman.senate.gov and the traitorous 7 can fuck all the way off. Our premiums are going from a manageable $385/month to $1961/month due to subsidies not being extended. I live in PA, so his refusal to listen to constituents like me whose premiums are increasing by 500% is infuriating.

MTG, as always, is saying things that get her what she’s always wanted: attention, support, and votes. What she says might change, but the intent behind her message has not.

This is true everywhere, but especially true in parts of the country where the prevailing cultural trait is frugality, even when it isn’t lean times. Like Pennsylvania Dutch, for instance. Building anything luxurious or extravagant is madness when the grocery store prices are high.

There is enough there that the wealthiest 400 Americans could put poverty in the history books if they so desired, with $2.4 trillion left over. Hoarding wealth while others starve is unconscionable. #EatTheRich

This is heartwarming 💗💗💗

🚨🚨Wow‼️In these times of uncertainty we need more Romeo’s in the world. He paid for people to eat for an hour and over 200 people were fed. This is the humanity and community we need right now. Bravo, Romeo‼️🔥💥🔥
