When Sanders dressed down me and my fellow constituents for asking him to support increased funding for aid, then stormed out of his own conference room, I knew that he couldn't possibly represent my views.

If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

I need to once again emphasize to the doomers that in terms of public sentiment and sympathy towards this administration and its goals, it is only going to get worse.

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.

Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

This is dire.
American sunscreens don’t work very well and have a lot of toxicity as well as often causing skin irritation and eye irritation.

So… as the stopgap, consider sun sleeves and sun hats, rashguards or wetsuits instead of swim suits. And YELL AT YOUR CONGRESS CRITTERS.

I think it's also important to point out that for all of the "Young Men Are Going Hard Right!!!" hand wringing, young men are still to the political left of every older cohort.

The issue is that youth voting was significantly down this cycle, probably because they were given jack shit to vote for.

This is why swinging right is such a ridiculous choice for Dems if they want to win. Progressive policies when elections. Dems can’t ever reach across the aisle far enough to get the vote of a Republican voter. They’ve been convinced that a vote for any Republican is their religious duty.

Please call these senators and your own before Tuesday! The best part is you won’t have to talk to a human.

Yesterday I saw two furries walking down the street with either a baby or a puppy in a stroller and every time I see something like that I’m just like β€œRock on little freaks” because the world is full of all different people and that’s very beautiful and cool actually

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.

Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say β€˜Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same

Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Hey everyone maybe an system designed by a bunch of child rapists who couldn't tell the difference between human beings and farming equipment has more design flaws than one major update in 250 years can fix, just thinking here

If the question is "how is this allowed?" or "how is this legal?" the answer will always be found by remembering laws aren't self executing and someone has to enforce them.

Laws aren't magic, and laws by themselves prevent nothing. If a law is not enforced, it's just words on paper.
