They have the money to end hunger and homelessness, enact universal health care, and fully fund every single social safety net and every single education program.
And instead, they're blowing it on defense against enemies that they made up so they could spend money on defense contractors.

Chart from NAEP showing Illinois below the national public in language and math. States below the national level include, in order, Rhode Island, Kansas, Iowa, Alabama, Georgia, and then Illinois. Above the line, ascending order, are Washington, South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, Connecticut, Colorado, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Hawaii.
If I'm reading this right, then... No, we're falling very far behind, actually.
We got beat out by Florida. That's humiliating.

Newsom has outright said that trans people don't deserve human rights, and has been buddying up with Sean Spicer and Ben Shapiro. He's as MAGA as it gets, keep him FAR away from us.

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
Itโs not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

The fact that it is cheaper, by FAR, to 3D print my work forms than it is to print them with paper and ink is... Certainly a realization.

Gee, wonder why you'd be supporting spending more money on ICE, buying body cams and tech from your buddy at Palantir, Shyam Sankar, who gave you almost $30k recently?

I've only ever seen him host 'town halls' on Zoom, and they're always full before I can get in, even if I RSVP. Every single email I've sent him has gotten a copy/paste form back saying a reply will be forthcoming, and needless to say, zero replies have ever come forth.
He needs to go.

We're baked and watching Labyrinth. My partner hasn't seen it before. We're at the bit where Sarah starts the Labyrinth, and he turned and told me 'I feel like I'm watching the second movie in a trilogy' and I just thought that was hilarious.

No, shitty candidates being crammed up our asses is the fucking problem. I don't need them to be 'perfect', I need them to not want to kill me and/or let someone else kill me. Trans people don't fucking owe you or ANY dem a goddamn thing; if Newsom is the candidate, I won't vote for him. Cope.

Absolutely do not forget to vote, homies! It's the absolute bare minimum anyone can do.
Also, don't forget to visit Ballotpedia dot com and check out your sample ballot, so you have time to research and make informed and intentional choices at the ballot box! ๐

Screenshot of some dork ass who followed me, their account promoting an AI app that gives shitty medical and behavioral advice to pet owners who should be hiring human beings that do real jobs.
Ha. Haha. Hahahahahahahaha, muwahhahhahahahHAHAHAoh you fool, like I'd ever fucking trust an AI to not kill my animal.
You done followed the wrong account, I hate AI and I especially hate AI that tries to give veterinary and behavioral advice. This shit kills animals.
