Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The entire world is protesting the Israeli Genocide, indiscriminate killing of Palestinian children and the illegal arrest of 497 people from 46 countries in international waters

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

I was wrong about Trump before I was right about Trump.

yep yep yep.

"No one will lose Medicaid"
"No one will lose Medicare"
"No hospitals will close"
"No one will lose insurance"

Man, seems like it might just be a good idea to check with someone other than administration flaks to see if that actually happens over the next year.

We Stand With Ukraine and NATO. 💙🗽🇺🇲🇺🇦👊

My god, those are horrifying figures.

Were I a governor/mayor, I would agree to help ICE in their deportation efforts if and ONLY if:
1) Agents produced proper, legal identification
2) Arrived in fully marked vehicles
3) Wore no masks
4) Had legal warrants
Then my police would help corral CRIMINAL elements. We'd know where they are

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Fucking idjits.

Gavin Newsom can lead me. I need this fire. No one on the national stage is calling out this fake religious bullshit being used to control the low IQ rightwing population.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Stand strong against the orange Pol Pot - President TACO

Remember family hikes, summer camps, and fishing trips? Fotus’s budget slashes funding for parks & environmental protections, all to hand billions in tax cuts to the ultra-rich. These aren’t just cuts. They’re a betrayal of the places we all love.

Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

National Guard members, this is a good reminder. Please listen.

Stephen Miller Erupts in Fury over Low Arrests—and Hands Dems a Weapon Hitting Miller’s new deportation quotas could mean fewer resources to fight child trafficking, terrorism, and other crimes. Do Americans really want that?

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown.

If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/
