@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social I cannot thank you enough for your quick endorsement & speaking today w/ Abdul. You've embodied what we want democrats to be - we can put our name out there & have a primary, but immediately show support for the voters' choice, even if you don't agree with them 100%. 1/2
This is what makes us different from the Rebublicans - we can have differences of opinion or how to do things, but still support each other. My respect for you has grown tenfold today 💚 2/2
Yep. Ridiculous. I'm tired of our country being run by the greediest, most corupt, unacountable, hypocritical,snowflake morons in the countey (potentially the world)
Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country
The Voting Rights Act is now a “dead letter” after latest Supreme Court decision - POLITICO. Why don’t they do what they really want, only White Christian Males who swear to vote MAGA will be allowed to vote. No women, no POC, or non Christian. This isn’t America, this is Trumpland.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.
It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps
Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe
But it never goes to help Americans
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
This needs to be brought up, ad neaseum. The "richest"nation in the world can't be bothered to work together & rise all boats, rather sinks the many to fed the greedy few. It's an absolute disgrace this wealthy super power (for now) has major problems w/ hunger, housing, & mental health assitance.
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1
Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
The US has given Republicans, Corporate Dems, and now Facists a shot - and all it's gotten is declining quality of life for most Americans. It is far past time for Progressive to have their chance to show how government can work for it's citizens.
The New Deal is one of, if not the most, progressive thing this country has ever done. It helped average Americans and was very popular, and still is with those who actually understand what it does.
BY LAW, a teenage girl cannot give consent. No matter how she behaves or dresses or what she says.
No adult man "has sex" with an underage girl/minor.
It's rape. The end.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
Still think people who believe in The Rapture, in particular those who believe it's tied to Israel and unrest in the Middle East, should not be in any position of power or able to influence those in power. It puts the safety and well-being of millions of around the globe at risk.
I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.
