I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

I work in addiction and would be thrilled to not be needed.

We’re never getting healthcare man

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

"No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils. We can demand a greater good.

And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

White text on a black background reads: “There are more empty homes than homeless people. There is enough food to feed everyone. There is enough money to fund healthcare and education. Scarcity isn’t real. It’s manufactured to keep profits high.”

A few people hoarding all the resources is not sound economic policy 😕

What's missing isn't supply,
it's solidarity.

✊🏻 Happy #socialistsunday / #marxistmonday comrades

Same. My healthcare just *this year* has had billed costs of over $350,000. Without the ACA, I would be uninsurable.

US Caribbean boat bombing campaign keeps getting worse.

Colombia says US killed Colombian fishermen in Colombian waters. Add international incident to illegal, unethical, and bad strategy.

This isn’t national security, it’s murder.

Who’s selecting these targets? Is this why Adm. Holsey resigned?

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @cnn.com are you going to write about the president of the United States posting a clip of himself literally dumping shit on Americans, or is it nbd?

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Genuinely read that middle one as “Catch Me if You Cialis”

ICE Barbie Says an Entire State’s Worth of Officials Are “Lying” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is convinced, against all evidence, that Portland is a war zone.

It would be good to go back to the old norm that officials who tell verifiable lies to the public should be forced to resign newrepublic.com/post/201556/...

Journalist here

I’m interested in talking to a federal agency scientist who was fired, then rehired. I can keep you anonymous. I’m on Signal ginnyg.04

Reposts are appreciated!

While Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report has a horrible title, it is a important tool that has been around for 100 years. It publishes data on a bunch of communicable diseases and is how scientists track the outbreak and spread of disease in the country. it was vital in our response to AIDS.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

What incredible news! This is so well-deserved. My resident and I were just talking about him this morning.

they don’t want you to know how they treat prisoners because it will grieve you to know it, which is natural and human, and because of your normal human reaction you will want the system changed. It’s important to them that your natural aversion to how the system works not be engaged.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov - what will you do about the Illinois State Police attacking protesters at the Broadview ICE facility?

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Right? They’re the BEST.

Yessss. I made a second order and requested it to be sent to my hotel, but it hadn’t even been shipped by the time I got there. The staff at the store was wonderful, though, and they are just as confused as the rest of us. :(

My favorite bra seller is going out of business. After my order was sent back to BC three times by customs, I flew to Calgary last week to shop their closeout sale.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.

What if the problem— just hear me out—what if it’s not a failure to listen to each other? What if, stay with me now, what if we HAVE listened, and we’ve heard lies and nonsense and frankly scary proposals (coupled with scary actions), and get this, hold on, we just fundamentally disagree?

I was going to recommend a London Fog, too! A friend and I have been searching for the best one in Lou and so far it’s Sunergos

Oh for fucks sake.

Is it a POPULAR knapsack? Does it have many different locations?

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide

A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position

This is what white supremacy looks like

Ezra Klein and Gavin Newsome's strategy of appeasement is what leads to the far right. Folding on reproductive or trans rights to try and win elections normalizes those positions as moderate rather than extreme
