JD Vance was fed by the government as a child, and now he wants to pull that ladder up behind him.

I have never met a Catholic who grew up in the faith who talks like JD Vance. Not ever.

The church made the deliberate choice to stop giving Latin mass at least partially because they have congregations everywhere. Many Catholic Churches give mass in more than one language every week. That’s normal

The stupidest timeline in our country when the VP is supporting racists and the dumbing down of America.
Why wouldn't we want folks speaking multiple languages?

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

The America I love doesn't have the VP actively defending racism and the dumbing down of America.

Why would you be opposed to folks speaking numerous languages?

JD VANCE THOUGHT HE COULD BRING HIS BIGOTRY TO BLUESKY AND OUR COMMUNITY SAID NO. BEING BLOCKED BY THOUSANDS IS NOT CENSORSHIP; IT IS COMMUNITY SELF DEFENSE. QUEER AND TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE SPACES FREE OF HATE. KEEP BLOCKING BULLIES AND LIFT EACH OTHER UP. ✊🏽🏳‍⚧️

Remember folks, JD Vance was on food stamps as a child

One of my machine-gunners spoke Cambodian. One of my rifleman spoke Laotian and another spoke Cajun almost exclusively. No Marine I know gave AF because they all swore an Oath to our Nation that including "Up to and including my life." F*ck JD Vance and his prissy Yale Imperialistic view of America.

He’s saying almost the exact same racist “they don’t belong here” shit as JD Vance, literally at the same time that he was also saying it

University of Mississippi Students Plan Event to Counter Vance A coalition of progressive student groups at the University of Mississippi plans to hold a town hall to counter Vice President JD Vance’s visit.

And the DNC backed Cuomo over Mamdani while wondering why Democrats favorability and voters are in decline.

Entitled White Man Democrat leans hard into racism and anti-immigrants when Cuomo discovers voters don't like him.

The DNC is so wrong backing Cuomo! And they wonder why they are losing voters 🤦‍♀️

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

RAJU: Given how dire things are for so many Americans right now, how do you justify the administration giving this big massive bailout to Argentina?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we give the execution of foreign policy to the executive branch. We trust the president. Let's talk about the government shutdown

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

We even have vernacular for it.

I'm disgusted with the British media. Every channel, news outlet is obsessed with migrants, asylum seekers, and small boats.
Disabled people with Motability cars are increasingly a target.
Can't stand what this country is becoming.

Outside of my job, 4 close friends of mine are joining me & we're stepping up big time for some families in need. There is nothing I won't do within my means, to make sure mouths are fed and that struggling folks in my hood, remain safe & caught up on their monthly expenses. I won't turn my back.

Worth remembering…

I suspect this is true, but one reason prominent people are having their brains cooked by Twitter is that Elon is working to turn the platform into that reflection Ioop for right wing ideas.

Having 40,000 chuds call you based for saying black people are subhuman is worse than ChatGPT
doing it.

In our wonderful new world, it can both be true that ChatGPT is driving hundreds of thousands of people into psychosis, and that X is driving hundreds of thousands of people into Nazism.

Ain’t it grand?

The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame The parents of Adam Raine, who died by suicide in April, claim in a new lawsuit against OpenAI that the teenager used ChatGPT as his “suicide coach.”

With friends like ChatGPT, who needs social media?

I personally am significantly more worried about the effects of LLMs and AI video slop on children’s brain development than I am about even social media. I am very worried that our school systems and laws are pushing kids toward AI artificial “friends” while banning social apps.

AI psychosis is a growing danger. ChatGPT is moving in the wrong direction | Amandeep Jutla OpenAI’s CEO has announced loosening the platform’s safety restrictions. He seems not to understand how humans are wired

'In April the company explained that it was “addressing” ChatGPT’s “sycophancy”. But reports of psychosis have continued, and Altman has been walking even this back....he claimed that many users liked ChatGPT’s responses because they had “never had anyone in their life be supportive of them”.' 1/2
