We need to change the narrative from generational welfare to generational poverty. That way we stop blaming people and start looking at the real issues and causes of poverty. We can stop deciding who are the deserving poor and who are the undeserving.

The reason trump is giving this massive bailout to farmers is because he fucked them over in the first place. Magats are claiming he's such a hero who cares about American farmers. Bullshit. They weren't struggling because of crop failure, but trump tariff failure.

trump is redirecting housing funds to transitional rather than permanent housing. Transitional is more costly and ineffective. It comes with strings attached, which, coincidentally will hurt some of the most vulnerable homeless population

I hope my Detroit friends went to vote today and voted for Denzel

I'm not going to say I've been in the hospital forever, I'm just going to say when I came in, I had a head full of dark hair and now it's gray. I'll just leave it at that and let you make your own conclusions

They ran this one blood test that sounds like a sorority. Kappa/Lambda free light chain serum

Day 11 of captivity. I thought today would see my release, but I'm afraid it may not. I have another test. I still have chest pain that requires morphine, (and if you know me, that means it's really, really bad). I need balloons and donuts, stat

Day 10. I think I'm just going to ask for a factory reset instead of trying to figure out what went wrong. My new release date from captivity is tomorrow. Send donuts

🤭🤭🤭

Day 8 of captivity. Who knows how long I'll be kept here. OK, it's just the hospital, but still

I saw a dad say this about his autistic son, "I do not pray to god to fix him. He's not broken. I pray that I will see him in the glorious way he was created." The rest of his message was powerful and beautiful

I find this focus on autism very disturbing. Not only are autistic people being referred to as broken, they are being seen as unable to function in society. It is yet another push to try and force those who don't fit the norms to change, rather than society to change to include them

I'm not sure why so many people think autism is automatically bad and that autistic people need to be "fixed". Non-verbal autism is common, but being non-verbal does not mean they can't communicate or have a lack of thought or understanding. Stop infantilizing autistic people

When will people realize that the problems and violence in the Middle East and a lot of countries in Africa, are the direct result of colonialism and the carving up of nations by the colonial invaders?

The problem with ignoring the evidence to convict the wrong person because you don't like that person, it's that the real criminal remains free and no justice took place

Disney does not hesitate to go after anyone, children included, who "violates" their copyrights, but bends the knee to a man who clearly and consistently violates their rights and threatens their existence.

I'm disgusted by the rights response to police violence. They cheer it on. In their eyes, the police can do no wrong and everyone they hurt/murder, deserves it. They are complicit in the fascist takeover of our country. We've seen this before and it will not end well

trump just insulted England, on English soil, during a dinner with English dignitaries, while sitting next to the King of England.

Harper Moyski. Fletcher Merkel. Say their names. Honor them. Don't forget them and every other child slaughtered in their classrooms. We should be outraged over this. We should mourn. We should fight for change.

Why aren't we talking about a real hero, Victor Greenawalt, who shielded his friend during the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church? He got shot, trying to save his friend. Let that sink in. All yourself why we are not talking more about him

I hate spiders. And don't tell me spiders are our friends. I don't let friends move in either

I find it ironic that magats spent 4 years taking things out of context to "prove" Biden's "incompetence", but are now whining how the left is taking things out of context by quoting CK own words or Kilmeades "just kill em" comment. Suddenly context is very important to them

If you think that Kirk was killed just because of a difference of opinion, then you have to condemn the retaliation against those who are expressing their different opinions about Kirk.

If 18 years of raising your child can be undone in 1 semester of college, then you really need to re-evaluate your parenting

Weird how magats are claiming trump's invasion of Democrat led cities is protecting poc, when he ignores poc in red states. He also ignores the systemic racism so prevalent in this country that leads to poverty and inequality which most crime stems from

Sending in the military does nothing to stop crime. trump is not interested in creating safer cities, he's interested in being a bully and trying to look tough. But bullies aren't tough. They are weak and pathetic

Stop judging people. These are some reasons why shelters are not always a good fit. If you've never been in one, you don't know.

One of the biggest reasons to abolish the death penalty www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The guy standing in McDonald's whining about how stupid the workers are and why can't they find good help, are the same ones saying people who work at McDonald's are losers and don't deserve higher pay. Then they say these "losers" should find another job.

If you're trying to justify someone's awful conduct by saying someone else was worse, what you're really saying is it's OK to be a horrible person as long as you can find someone who is worse. That's not the flex you think it is

The reason there is such a controversy regarding social safety nets is not because of the cost. It's because far too many value things over people

This is from a letter from trump to Lisa Cook. Oh, the irony!

The half-naked guy with a beer belly who painted himself with the team colors, is complaining about male cheerleaders' because, "nobody wants to see that." Oh the irony

This is happening NOW. The big bogus bill Medicaid cuts are only going to make this worse. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

I just saw someone whining about male cheerleaders because they were taking "womens jobs." These are the people who want to "protect women." Because women exist to entertain men at a football game🙄🤬

OK, I've decided to be a jellyfish😉

Poor people and homeless people are not political pawns. We are not children. We are not helpless. We do not need to be told what to do and we do not need anyone to control us. We are people who deserve dignity, respect, and agency.

Stop letting corporate America speak for you. Do not let them take away your voice. Stand up to them and use your voice, your $, your vote.The time to act is now. Support and vote for candidates who will listen to you. Who share your ideals. Who cares about you. In every election

Abdul for US Senate. If you are from Michigan, look him up. Go to a Meet and Greet. He does not take corporate money. His is a grassroots campaign. Stop letting corporations speak for you

If this does not horrify you, you are a fascist. We cannot trust this administration. Fight to take back this country. Vote in every election, local, state, and federal www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

It wasn't that long ago that people were all like "people in SNAP eat better than I do. All that steak and lobster!" Now they are all like, "people on SNAP just buy chips and pop. It's unhealthy and they should only be allowed to buy healthy food!"
