I'm watching Anne With an E (Anne of Green Gables netflix show)...I somehow never read the books nor watched the 80s movie...

I AM ABOUT TO SEEK VENGEANCE ON THIS WHOLE DAMN TOWN they are SO MEAN to my girl Anne.

old tweet: Every year, Putting Away the Christmas Decorations Ken makes a series of decisions designed to infuriate Unpacking the Christmas Decorations Ken the following year. It’s a magical holiday tradition.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

I have to come clean about something insignificant & I have guilt over

I put my beer cans in the freezer for ~20 minutes before drinking them to get them extra cold & now when I go to bars, draft beer doesn't cut it.

Like, my beer has to borderline attempt freezing as I pop the can

Sex is cool but have you ever flossed your teeth after eating meat?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

"...I have realized that it is quite wrong to take these brilliant & powerful talkers, who expressed the thought of the masses, for the sole actors in the drama. They were given the impulse by others much more than they gave it themselves. The particular actor is the people." (2/2)

Michelet, History of the French Revolution, "Another thing which History will clearly establish & which holds true in every connection, is that the people were usually more important than the leaders..." 1/2

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

Sometimes you just gotta look up and marvel about the things that human beings have built together.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”

Can our collective Halloween costume be everyone going outside at 7PM and Screaming For Democracy à la 2020 medical support?

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

Not surprisingly, most of the U.S. tariffs are being paid by American companies and consumers — NOT by foreign exporters.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for Argentina, ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

"That's just how it is."

Priorities.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
