Only kinda joking about this but my crackpot theory is that the united states had a very tiny window of opportunity to blow up the global currency system in a good way by just printing a shit ton of one dollar coins and then buying out every penny in circulation for $1.00. Its closed now tho.

The united states should phase out all paper currency and and then mint 40 trillion one dollar coins, 20 Billion quarters, 10 Billion Dimes, and Five Billion Nickels.

Man kinda feels like its ousting time for the big guy now that they got their shit passed

Michael Shannon cooking with gas here:

"complicated cultural issues" (society will break down if you ever ever tell anyone to stop abusing their kids)

I currently have 1.14 in my bank account. If anyone would like to help, id mighty appreciate it. Venmo is LvD95.

People are not going to spend 50% if their income on healthcare. They won’t have healthcare.

I dont think its good actually that a dying generations last gasps are to impoverish and famish all who come after them

chuck schumer on the senate floor with his tie flipped backwards

a necktie turned inside out is the international symbol for gastric distress

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Pure malice. Our ruling class is driven by nothing by empty disdain for their betters. They should be strung up by now.

No one who's still proudly and consistently voting dem ever expects this stupid game to end but its been going on for long enough, right? The entire party is feckless to its worst members worst impulses.

Party leadership should be hanging ornaments by this point

dear God, please direct deposit $3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 into my checking account. amen

The disconnect between people who doggedly insist the economy is "better than in the past" and that we're "richer" than our ancestors and people, like me, who think these are absurd assertions is that they are measuring degrees of evil and we are fucking fed up. The number went up? So the fuck what?

There is no social or moral element to their analysis of economic conditions. America is drowning in garbage and greed.

I am straight up out of money lol

I know someone in local politics, he had to move back in with his parents while serving cause he couldn’t afford to buy a house in town and if a landlord opposed him politically they could just kick him out

Sure, the government is about to bail an industry out that makes the subprime mortgages look like treasury bills and tells people to kill themselves, but it automates racism and sexism, so it's not like they can just give up on it.

I have sent grocery money to 4 of my 5 adult siblings this month and will be skipping meals to do so. Godforsaken country

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

He said there was no room to sleep. People sat up, slept on the floor, standing up. He saw many pregnant women there too. The conditions were unbearable. His wife is horrified by his account.

It really is terrifying watching them twist the legal system to its very brink just to get rid of trans people. I mean, why would anyone see this as a legal priority other than with the preemptive desire to eliminate it?

cannot emphasize this enough: we need to push the mainstream political discourse towards mass prosecution and execution of ice agents

it doesn't really matter if they actually get killed by the state, but we need to build towards a society that widely agrees they *should* have been, morally

The legal system is treating transphobia as either a personal quirk or some kind of bold stance to take when it reality its just being a shit person. The origins of the modern terf movement can be traced back directly to the advent of fascism.
