He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Remember folks:

They wouldn’t need a list if they just believed the victims. ✌️

I appreciate the optimism of this parking validation machine

One of the stupidest, most ridiculous, yet incredibly impactful things about this era is how many people’s politics is little more than “I don’t like some replies I see on social media.”

Missouri passed a law in 2023 that prohibited healthcare providers from performing pelvic exams on unconscious or anesthetized patients without their informed consent because IT WAS LEGAL TO PERFORM A PELVIC EXAM ON AN ANESTHESIZED PATIENT WITHOUT CONSENT UNTIL 2023…

You don’t have to love America right now. Not the one under assault from a vengeful despot. But I do hope you care enough to reflect on the commitment of our founders to form a union & free the new nation from a mad king and the yoke of oppression—care enough to be willing to fight for America now.

My husband has some of those but lots of screenshots of sports facts and ESPN articles 🤣

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

fragments. The first in a series of short lyric memories I'm working on. This piece is called Nikki.

I like to write a little something sometimes, so today I launched a little series of lyric memoirs called fragments. This is the first piece about my baby sister:

FYI: I blocked and reported a user (Jon Richardson) for threats and harassment in this thread. If you got similar replies or saw it, you might consider reporting too. Disagreement is fine, but intimidation isn’t.

I’m blocking you and reporting you to mods. Good day

Since you hate Americans so much- perhaps take your pseudo intellectual superiority complex and debate with your own fellow countrymen about your own perfect Australian policies.

Ask yourself why Rolling Stone is the only outlet performing this obvious public service.

I’ve said it before, but given his starting point, Trump could have played golf for four years, done nothing of consequence, and probably retired relatively popular. He decided economic suicide and a multipronged campaign of human rights abuses would be more fun.

Perhaps the reason we come at you so aggressively here is because you, an outsider, are making critical statements about an amendment we are fighting to uphold(as our ancestors fought with BLOOD for) there are racists in this country as there always have been, that want to ‘reinterpret’ this law.

I’m sure yall are stainless and you bear absolutely no responsibility for the fault of your ancestors right?
Yeah that shit doesn’t fly in the US either. 14A was literally a force to the other side (who lost a civil war). Our past still haunts us. Trust that it does for yall too

Thing is- I’m not averse to any real criticism of our country (I welcome it actually!) but at least that’s a part of our custom (to hate on ourselves lol). Most aussies I know in real life are cool once you explain our problematic history and why we do certain things, pass certain laws, etc.

I always love hearing her speak. There’s so much authentic passion and fervor behind her eyes and her words.

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill.

Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW.

“This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥

@aoc.bsky.social

The Democratic Doctors Caucus gathered outside Speaker Johnson’s Office to tell the American people the truth that House Republicans don’t want you to know: Medicaid cuts will kill Americans.

Haha right! I sent a screenshot of some his earlier (looks like deleted now) responses to one of my old Aussie friends. I’m so curious to know what he thinks 🤣

Right. Who exactly are “crime bosses”? In legal definitions? Good god I can’t

Imagine being this guy, who is so confidently wrong, that he more willing to accuse us of no reading comp than to do this reading on his own. On a post, literally about being confidently wrong. You can’t make this up.

Happy Canada Day. I’m American, but have always felt as if we are just bickering siblings. I love visiting Canada, and that we have such beautiful neighbors to our north (sorry about the drama over here-promise vast majority of us love y’all) 🇨🇦🇺🇸
