Poverty IS a choice.
Not by the individual, but by our society.
Every single step of the way, someone is trying to make sure you do not get access to something you need to survive.
You soon learn that theyโd rather pay to keep you poor than help you live.

I think we all need to get a lot more actively involved in researching who makes the art we are engaging with. If an artist/band doesn't have real, authentic pictures and an actual history as an entity that exists, active social media with real people posting, it's not getting my streams/purchases.

The New York Times published an entire "expose", written by a Nazi collaborator, about an unsuccessful college application from fifteen years ago.
A whole bunch of famous and powerful people talking about sex crimes with a known sex criminal is absolutely newsworthy.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Reminder that Starbucksโ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"

Elon Musk is also a pompous, sub-literate lech. And they both have/had money and power, so people will treat them like gods. Why is this surprising?

Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn in after contentious seven-week delay
House Speaker Mike Johnson had refused to seat Grijalva during the shutdown. She will provide the final signature on a petition to force a vote to release the DOJ's Epstein files.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

We started Indivisible in 2016 because a future Trump appointee was talking about the WWII Japanese internment camps as a model for immigrants at the same time that Schumer was talking about finding common ground with Trump.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This is your annual reminder that:
1) the US military is a fundamentally corrupt and abusive cult that floats a lie about upward mobility in order to lure the poor and disadvantaged into sacrificing life and limb in needless violent conflicts.
2) the way we as a country treat veterans is shameful

I will never understand why some people in the GOP are SO obsessed with other peoples sex lives. Gay, trans, positions, sodomy laws, gay marriage, erotica, burning books, banning books, porn, adoption, you name it, they simply cannot live their own lives and leave others alone. It's demented.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable โnot a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
