This is what pure hate and disturbing religious beliefs lead to.

I’m with George Carlin. I pray to the Sun. There aren’t a lot of BS stories that wind up getting even more twisted by warped human minds attached to the Sun. And…the Sun doesn’t care who you love.

STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

This is the sweetest thing I have seen in a long time... ❤️ #bluesky

It's the systematic destruction of truth, all to please their cult leader.

Climate Change
Trump’s a climate-denying clown, pushing fossil fuel lies as Earth burns. He gutted emissions rules, leaving us with wildfires & melting ice. We need leaders who face facts, not this orange buffoon’s golfing delusions. #ClimateCrisis #TuckFrump

“Remember this, they’re not arresting us to take us to jail. They’re arresting us to take us back to the House floor to vote on maps that benefit them. If that’s not fascism, I don’t know what is.”

Sounds familiar.

I’m Not Panicking. I’m Outraged. Read more here.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Whitaker was US Attorney for Iowa from ‘04-‘09, had a failed Senate run in ‘12, did shady stuff at a shady company for 3 years, started a “nonprofit” to attack Hillary, joined Trump to work with AG Sessions, became Acting AG for 3 months, and was a pundit/consultant after.

Now he’s NATO ambassador.

The government is an ass…

5 things Trump did this week:

1. Threatened to take over DC

2. Ordered unconstitutional census

3. Called his Epstein files scandal “bullshit”

4. Got roasted by South Park again

5. Went on another taxpayer-funded golf trip

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't.

We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.
