This is hideous beyond belief

Most of my adult life I've avoided shopping in the holiday season. I might have to make an exception and go to Costco and join now! Bless Costco For Suing Trump And Making MAGA Furious open.substack.com/pub/thegodpo...

Tis the season! 🤣 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It should be said that basically all prisons and jails that are State run have for-profit parts. The food, phone calls, medical care, and even visitations are monetized by corporations with no real oversight or accountability.

This is so evil.

THE FOR PROFIT PRISON SYSTEM MUST BE DESTROYED!!!!

Burn it all down

Flipping channels in front of a 3YO on a Saturday afternoon. Her: Football hats! Me: Football helmets Her: Bicycle hats! Me: Bicycle helmets Her: Cowboy helmets! Me: Cowboy hats Her:

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

One of the most destructive institutions in our nation is the for-profit prison system. Corporations lining their pockets by keeping people in prison and punishing them financially for being there. Lining the pockets of elected reps to do it. This has to stop. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

The evil and cruelty in DC has trickled down to the bright red gerrymander in the NC Legislature. There is nothing right about this. The goal: keeping the prison system full. Follow. The. Money. app.publicnewsservice.org/story/nc-pos...?

It’s good to see the democratic electorate start to get out there and vote. Just wish the whole dem leadership would do something to help.

Progressives can win. Push the envelope, Dems! No mushy center. open.substack.com/pub/cohen489...

Enten: "Republicans should be running for the hills this morning, because the blue wave is building ... we have seen the Democratic outperformance of Kamala Harris happening across the political map. What happened last night in Tennessee ain't just staying in Tennessee."

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up. It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to." When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.

Good morning sunshine! If you are in TN-07 time to go elect Aftyn Behn!!! GO VOTE!

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

Let’s cause a political earthquake tomorrow!! #TN07 We need to get everyone out. The special election in Tennessee’s 7th District will come down to what groups are motivated to turnout on election day, and who stays home…

Vaccines save lives. That RFK Jr is using his position to actively undermine vaccinations in the U.S. without presenting any real evidence of his wild claims about them is reckless and immoral. Every $1 invested in vaccines returns $20 in saved healthcare costs, lost wages, and lost productivity.

If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

If you’ve been sensing that rumble beneath the surface-- that gut feeling that something is shifting in social justice movements and that you’re meant to be a part of it—this week's video is for you. youtu.be/t_eQbHe1jOY

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.” --Teddy Roosevelt (R)

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think: In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels. In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Sadly relevant today.

"May not be the economic boom" they were hoping for? Wow! We have no journalists in this country to give a shit about the truth.

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

"But Salesforce data, cited by Forbes, found that order volume fell by about 1 percent year over year, while average selling prices were up 7 percent—indicating that much of the growth was caused by inflation rather than any uptick in shopping enthusiasm." www.newsweek.com/black-friday...

We really need to get rid of those dickheads in DC. They are doing so much destruction beyond the grift. www.propublica.org/article/meth...

I haven't spent a penny there since they caved on pride merchandise. I doubt I ever will again.

SMDH Target still doesn’t get it. They do not get to kick us in the nuts, put lipstick on a pig, then expect us to smile and keep spending. My lifestyle no longer includes shopping at there.

The wisest course of action to deal w migrants/asylum seekers is this: invest in their countries so they won't be compelled to flee. Now I'm not anti-immigration, welcome them still when they come. Make it easier to come and to stay. I'm probably canceled for this post.

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

Youth is fleeting, Trump is temporary, but lies are forever.

My father agreed to self deportation and still got pulled up based on an anonymous tip … We think we know who it was It was to spoil my graduation

wcdptn 29m 🚨 TWO. POINTS. Y’ALL. 🚨 We are this close to flipping the 7th and sending @aftynbehn4tn to Washington and it’s because YOU keep showing up. Your door-knocking, your texts, your hustle… it’s working. Now let’s finish strong.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice. 📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber. Prosecute her and everyone involved.

The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back. We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race. This is the way.

Sigh Listen. Vote for democrats.

Why Not ? They've ALL Rolled Back Their DEI Policies.......

Since Star Wars is trending today, a good time to rewatch this fantastic speech from Andor. Almost like it has some relevance to the current state of things. youtu.be/TaKrm5txGCQ

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I hate MAGA from the core of my being. I am a White cis/het man, but they will still come after me if they get the chance. Just like their Nazi idols MAGA targets the neurodivergent. Every ICE agent needs to go to prison for crimes like this:
