So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

*We* can multitask. We can be equally horrified by journalists being arrested, ICE brutality, AND the Epstein files. While also paying attention to R shenanigans related to DHS funding (and Graham’s money grab). Come on MSM, you can do it, too!

AOC: Nearly a trillion dollars in healthcare was taken out and given to ICE. Your healthcare costs have skyrocketed because Republicans value greed and cruelty. You get screwed over in order to pay a bunch of thugs in the streets to shoot mothers in the face. That is what this regime is doing.

I think that, in addition to contacting our elected leaders, we should be β€œflooding the zone” by contacting legacy media and asking them why they aren’t relentlessly pursuing the truth about Trump’s mental/cognitive health.

I just contacted the NYT’s newsroom asking why they aren’t relentlessly covering Trump’s obvious cognitive breakdown and pointed out that it’s a national security issue at this point. I also reminded them that they deemed every Biden gaffe to be late stage dementia but they keep sanewashing Trump.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

To understand why Venezuela, look up Trump billionaire donor Paul Singer and Citgo, who'd been pushing for change in that country.

To understand why Greenland, look up Trump billionaire donor Ron Lauder (who planted the idea of Greenland in trump's head) and Greenland Water Bank.

This is Ron Lauder, the sole heir to the EstΓ©e Lauder cosmetics company, a multi-billionaire and BIG Trump donor. He's been pushing Trump to take over Greenland.

For starters, I suggest that we BOYCOTT EstΓ©e Lauder cosmetics.

I agree that SHE is a goddess. I think that fabric is cheap looking. I literally saw similar fabric at JoAnn’s before they went bankrupt.

What I always hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Over the last year, Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of many wealthy business executives with ties to his regime, businesses, or campaign.

If you’re rich, well-connected, or have something to offer Trump, a presidential pardon is a possibility. The White House is now a pay-to-play.

Trump move to pardon Honduras’s ex-president shows counter-drug effort is β€˜based on lies and hypocrisy’ Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big-time trafficker off the hook?

Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China.

These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.

Mini pepperoni pizza made using a hamburger bun instead of a pizza crust.

Mini pepperoni pizza made using a hamburger bun instead of a pizza crust.

My spousal unit and I are Gen Jones. We were just having a conversation about what our respective schools used as "pizza crusts." Question: If your cafeteria didn't use pizza crust on pizza day, did they use the bottom of a hamburger bun (my husband's) or an English muffin (mine)? Or??

I keep thinking about how SNAP subsidizes American farmers and feeds American children and their families and cuts to SNAP will fuck farmers and starve children and their families and that's a pretty batshit thing to actively want to do
