The only way to become more like those other nations is a national divorce here via a blue state exit. Holding onto the outdated mythology of the 'UNITED States of America' is like staying in an abusive marriage cuz it started out with such promise, but now you're just getting your head bashed in.

It's NOT 'Big Pharma,' it's conservatives once again trying to control what every individual ADULT does with their own body, especially if it provides relief or pleasure of any kind.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

So, Tyler Robinson wasn't....checks notes........

A Democrat.

I am absolutely certain President Trump and Governor Cox will be issuing corrections and apologies immediately. Let me tune into Fox. I'm sure they are running that now. (Sarcasm)

Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a sixโ€‘week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17โ€‘year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesnโ€™t make you furious, youโ€™re not awake.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "We can, in essence, likely neuter the total number of districts that Trump is looking to get with Abbott in rigging those [Texas] maps, here in the state of California. Hope other governors consider doing similar things. You've got to fight fire with fire."

So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of โ€œcommunismโ€ and the result was they killed over 200 peopleโ€ฆ

This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain.
Itโ€™s deadly.

By 2030, 1 in 4 women in developed countries will remain childfree.

Up to 45% will be single by choice.

Society will frame this as a crisis.
Governments will panic over birth rates.
This is about choice thoughโ€ฆ

It's about women walking away from the roles that kept men comfortable and powerful.

Brooke Rollins said the quiet part out loud: No amnesty. Mass deportations. Medicaid recipients forced to replace immigrant labor. Itโ€™s a blueprint for a low-wage police stateโ€”deport the workers, punish the poor, automate the rest. America, powered by cruelty, not dignity.

Stop travelling to America.

Itโ€™s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldnโ€™t support fascism

If youโ€™re American, stop going to Florida

They built a concentration camp in 8 days

Theyโ€™ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare
