Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

I just got back from running errands and getting a few items from the grocery. Zero chance we are spending any money tomorrow. Small actions make up the larger resistance.

I definitely get depressed, but there's a big part of me that hears that defeatist attitude and gets pissed off. Like, yeah, shit sucks, are you really going to just let these freaks get you upset when that's the main thing they want? Get up and mock them at the very least.

I am guilty of this so I’m not casting blame on anyone else or saying you shouldn’t make these posts because we all need to vent but it is very demoralizing when people just post stuff like “we’re fucked”, it just wears you down in addition to all the other stuff wearing you down.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Food for thought.

I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser

Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.

My very last day of work is tomorrow. RETIREMENT is the dream that is going to be my reality. I understand my privilege. I genuinely do

All this time it wasn't about the price of eggs. It's the fact that she didn't look like you.

Pssst. Hey, you.
Yes, you.
Hi.

If no one has told you lately, you’re totally kicking ass even though nothing makes sense anymore.

We need you. Keep it up.

Shameful. Predatory. Greed.

He had children. They don't deserve the trauma of what happened to their father.

I understand the health insurance industry is evil. We all need universal healthcare in the US. This is a baseline truth.

I find it ghoulish when people applaud when a human is gunned down on the street. This is not how we solve our problems. IS IT??? Or maybe it is now.

Composite decks are are sold as lower maintenance than wood. The reality doesn't match the advertising. My husband's business built hundreds of decks over the years. He stopped using composite because customers were generally dissatisfied over time. Wood, all the time.
