Good night 😴

War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

The Price of Remission When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked…

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.

It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

lol.

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.

A fantastic protest sign out of South Elgin, Illinois!

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Portrait-oriented photo featuring a wooden post with a rusted hanger hook jutting out of it, and standing atop the post, triumphant and at least slightly indignant, is a plump little bluebird. The bluebird is a male, and we see the electric blue of his head, but the predominant part facing us is the coppery-orange and pale white front. He is standing amidst little pink-and-red tree blossoms, but I like to imagine these are instead the extracted organs of his enemies. So let's just pretend this bluebird stands vengefully astride a scattering of viscera -- gobbets of gore taken as a prize from his unnatural and invasive foes. I'm sorry I've really made this a gross photo. It's actually quite nice. Kind of a dreamy vibe to it, what with the wall of yellow forsythia blurring in the background, and here I am adding drippy bits and internal organs. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time. Probably.

Everything is bad but birds are good so time to reinstitute BIRD PROTOCOL where a bird is deployed to offset endless evil vibes, please enjoy, birds are good, okay bye

Can you give a citation for this comment. I can’t find it in a google search, he did say that he wants to send violent American prisoners, they can find a legal way to do so.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

This is so stupid

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Eastern Monarch Butterfly Population Nearly Doubles The population wintering in central Mexico's forests occupied 4.42 acres, up from 2.22 acres during the previous winter.

Who wants some good news?

The overwintering monarch population, which had plummeted last winter, has doubled this winter! www.worldwildlife.org/stories/east...

I’m not talking about the middle class ppl making between 56-120,000, I’m talking about Ppl like Molly who are rich and are Making over 300,000 a year who will get a huge tax cut , (60,000 a year) they are not middle class, they are upper middle class and 1%ers. Please talk about yourself Molly.

It’s also a tax cut for regular up middle class ppl like you. let’s talk about that too.

I agree with you, but it predates citizens, that just made it much worse.

Also you sound like a crazed bot or Russian agitator— not going to get you too far.

Well -
Good luck, you’re going to need it from prison. Large scale ongoing general strikes and tanking the stock market to under 10,000 where is belongs. Is the way. Your not going to get a majority of Americans killing ppl in the streets -

Also, I agree with wearing masks, mask up people!

Tamp it down, you’re not going to get anyone to agree with you spewing hate to ppl that are on the same side as you ( maybe the same side, can’t tell what you think well you’re insulting ppl)

Agreed — looks at this late stage, it will take ongoing large scale general strikes - and tanking the Stock market back down to 5000 were it belongs.

You’ll need an expanded SC to over turn citizens. But primaring all neoliberal 3rd way Dems(Nixon Republicans in reality)and electing middle and working class folks,would be a good start.Right the Dems work for Wall Street not Main Street, and if you keep electing the Rich - that’s what they’ll Do.

"When faced with two awful choices, pick the one that requires less courage."

- The Art of Losing, by Chuck Schumer

Maybe pass term limits legislation. Maybe work
for the majority of Americans instead of the top 20%. Maybe pass M4A. Maybe tax the rich. Maybe don’t use vulnerable minority groups as a smoke screen for their terrible economic policies. Maybe actually work to stop the robber barons.

Maybe stop being lackyies for the same
corporate entities the GOP is. Maybe stop running Nixon Republicans as Dems. Maybe run middle and working class folks for 90 % of seats not the 1%ers . Maybe be more concerned with main street then wallstreet. Maybe stop getting even richer well in office.

When the 3rd way Dems ( really Nixon republicans) took over the Democratic Party they helped move the GOP into the insane fascism filled party they are to day. It’s time to
Primary every single 3rd way neoliberal Dem and replace them with solid middle and working class ppl.

I agree, but how do you propose to do that?

If your over 60 and in congress, it’s time to retire. The old crony congresspeople have no stake in the future- and it constantly shows.
