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.

Saw the article asserting most Trek fans were Republican dudes and it was written by the same dude who a 13 years ago trashed Redshirts (which went on to be a NYT bestseller and win several awards, including the Hugo), so it's safe to say his track record with Trek-aligned material is dodgy at best

I hate the clocks going backwards and forwards. When I was young, we didn’t even have clocks. If we got hungry, we ate each other. We were poor, but we were happy. Good times. Not that we had time. It hadn’t been invented. We had to make our own time out of string and cholera.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

This is coming from a guy who lied on the stand about a protester, only to be humiliated by video of what actually happened, leading a jury to acquit in an hour. This vapid shitbag liar wants to β€œcorrect misconceptions?”

The idea of Americans having to be forced to ID themselves and wait to see if they are wanted while everyone is cuffed, because of

"Where they chose to live and by their skin color"

Is FASCISM

stop pretending it isn't

Ro recap: In July, DOJ filed a misconduct complaint against Judge Boasberg. It was based on alleged comments he made at a judicial conference.

"Attachment A" was the only source cited as evidence of the comments.

Seven years ago today, the Saudi Crown Prince directed the murder of VA resident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

As we honor Jamal's memory, we are reminded that we must protect reporters around the world as they uncover the truth, inform the public, and promote accountability.
