good messaging is, "raise corporate taxes and massively fine companies who abuse their workers".

bad messaging is, "billionaires wish the federal government would subsidize corporate payrolls".

you have to know this, mark.

I donโ€™t do doomerism. Cause I know too many wonderful people who grew up in fascism, war, poverty, or all of the above. And everything that is good in my life is good because people like them fought for better. In 50 years, I hope people remember that we did the same. And that hope costs me nothing.

my uncle, who was telling me about officiating hundreds of weddings, apparently did this. he says only once did someone take him up on it, and the only quip he could think of on the spot was to declare the objector incompetent.

We went to my [x] year high school reunion last weekend in the small town I grew up in, and everyone was nice and still remembered me, even the jocks.

One lesbian kept saying, "you were such a nerd in high school, but now you're a beautiful man", and I'll be holding onto that for some time.

Significant intraparty reform is necessarily a core value of the Democratic Party, and folks looking to war rather than ally and discuss are not worth your time.

Their tax bailouts for the ultra-rich take effect now, but slashing healthcare is timed to go into effect after the midterms next yearโ€”for the most vulnerable children, adults, and the elderly.

Do not forget what they have done, and tell everyone you know who is confused about the facts.

Refill each stadium with all new people each day for 5 days straight, and take away every attendee's healthcare.

Then find at least another 1,355,570 more people.

In the middle of the night, 50 republican senators, JD Vance, and 218 republican representatives did this. Zero democrats.

04.07.2025 06:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The law republicans passed today will take away healthcare for at least 17 million people.

For a sense of scale, fill the largest sports stadium of every single state to its maximum capacity.

Based on the email I just got, the Social Security Administration is now using federal infrastructure to campaign on behalf of republicans.
