Here to find ways to save democracy. πŸ—³οΈ Will probably have the ADHD kick in and talk cats, books, movies, music, video games. Eternally in a war between nihilism and optimism. Join me, at the very least I promise it’ll be entertaining.

It really depends on individual means. For me (someone living paycheck to paycheck) it’s investing time and energy to local nonprofits, being as well-read as possible about the worst case scenarios without catastrophizing, and keeping my own peace as well I can.

I’m 90% sure Costco is just using their DEI stance as a way to keep people from talking about how they completely cutoff union deal talks.

In fairness, we’ve always recognized enemies of the United State can be both foreign and domestic.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But.

Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system.

For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

Zuckerberg did say he was donating, but hasn’t disclosed an amount.

Bezos and Musk won’t.

So a bunch of rental companies get sued for rent fixing and suddenly one bedroom apartments in Dallas are cheaper than I’ve seen them in my adult life? Interesting.

Fun Fact: My current apartment management company is in the lawsuit. :/

So Trump doubled down on his batshit crazy base’s worst impulses and Dems just sit and make small talk with him. Hate this country so much, we deserve what’s coming. Coulda at least given him the could shoulder.

Only counter I would have is that Jon had already betrayed the first woman he loved, so it is kinda in character. But the Dany arc part, absolutely.

Hargraves: Nobody with the last name Trump has ever served in uniform in 150 years.

Families like the Trumps don’t sacrifice their own lives or the lives of their children. They convince poor people to sacrifice their lives on their behalf.

β€œβ€¦Our mission is to reduce spending in a meaningful way so we can get, restore fiscal sanity… so raising the debt limit is a necessary step so we don't give the appearance that we're going to default…”

Trump in his press conference just said he is not ruling out using military force to seize Greenland and the Panama Canal.

They just mean censoring things like support for democratic institutions instead of censoring holocaust deniers. Oligarchs gonna oligarch.

It’s really weird that people will say workers who think the minimum wage should be livable are greedy, then turn around and say billionaires just want their worth. The lack of cognitive dissonance is astounding.

Just a reminder to those who forgot (or went through the Texas public education system and never knew)… Texas declared independence from Mexico because Mexico outlawed slavery and Anglo settlers didn’t want that.

They say power corrupts, but I think it attracts the corrupt.

I wish more people who have absolutely no interest in the prestige or privilege of public office would run.
