No tax on tips or overtime does not help anyone but the employers: "Raise the tipped workers pay? Why? You don't get taxed on tips". "Give you a raise? Just work more overtime, it's not taxed". Don't fall for their bullshit.

We are NOT a Christian nation! The Bible has no place in our Constitution! Maintain the separation of church and State. At the very least, you Christian nutbags, follow the words of your own god: Judge not lest ye be judged! El-Sayed will be a great Senator!

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

There is less difference than many suppose between the ideal Socialist System, in which the big businesses are run by the State, and the present Capitalist System, in which the State is run by the big businesses ---- G K Chesterton (1874 - 1936)

When Public Schools stop allowing private schools to receive any public funds, and make the schools equitable to all areas and not be dependant on property values, and return to teaching civics and history and arts, our children's children just might get America out of this hole we have dug

Who is our Secretary of State, and where is he? Why is Kushner and Witkopf doing the job of the SoS? #Impeach everyone!

DS9... the Federation stopped using money long ago, so how do Obrien and Bashear pay their bar tabs on time, as Quark said they do in a toast?

Today is Labor Day. Schools are closed. Why do libraries also close on these holidays? If the school is closed, libraries should be open, not only for the kids, but for the adults who finally have a day off when they could go to the library. Makes no sense to me

The whole modern world has divided itself into conservatives and progressives. The business of the progressive is to go on making mistakes. The business of conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected --G K Chesterton

This isn't Capitalism, it's Greedism.

Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain: -Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP -Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552 -Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 This is what corporate greed looks like.

Exactly

Trump brazenly ignores laws weakening the FCC. GOP ended Media Ownership REGULATIONS. #FreePress was formed by the ForeFathers to INFORM THE PUBLIC of Legislators actions, NOT to flatter and lie for one felon!! A FreePress is VITAL to democracy thriving. Soon 1 billionaire will own & control "truth"

I have a perfectly good computer with an AMD3 processor, 24GB of RAM, a 1GB video card. It runs well, does everything I need it to, except run Windows 11. Fuck Windows 11. Im not buying a new computer just so I can have Windows 11. #Microsoft

So it seems that in New Mexico Hearst Television, owner of KOAT TV 7, is now the affiliate for both ABC and CBS. This violates the Dual Network Rule of the FCC. But no one stopped it. This is just as bad for the consumer as the Paramount/WBD merger is, in that it will mean less choice for us. #TV

Exactly! This is no longer Capitalism, it is Oligarchy. It is a violation of Anti-trust laws. Capitalism requires competition, and 1 corporation owning all of its former competitors is un-American. Break them up, like we did Ma Bell. Level the playing field,restore the American dream.

Is there anything better on a hot Saturday than to sit in an air-conditioned living room, smoke a few bowls of some flavorful grass, and watch a good Hammer film? I date say there is not

Journalists and Anchors: if you must say how much something cost (the new bridge cost $7mil), breakdown the cost to include how much the executives of whatever company are getting compared to the laborers. Especially when talking about the Military Industrial complex. That is the info we need

@nasaspaceflight.com Is anyone in any space agency or R&D working on #SHIELDING? Without strong shields any ship or shuttle is in danger of being ruptured, which they say would be a bad thing. Any dreams of faster speed are defeated if there is not proper shielding. Can anyone provide info on this?

To those who caused #StarfleetAcademy to be canceled: go back and watch the first 8 episodes of TNG. The actors hadn't fleshed out their characters yet, they were still learning who they were. By the end of the first season, 25 episodes, they had found themselves. 8 eps is not enough time to develop

Well,I guess I won't be watching Let's Make a Deal anymore, as long as Barry Weiss and CBS remain Trump sycophants. #BoycottCBS means no CBS shows get watched. Sorry Wayne Brady. I support #Colbert

The deterioration of Star Trek (and thus all of TV): TOS 3 Seasons 29,24,26 episodes per; TNG 7 seasons 26 eps per; DS9 and Voyager, each 7 seasons, each 26 eps per; Discovery 5 seasons, 14,13,and 10 eps per; SNW 5 seasons 10eps, 5th only 6eps; Picard 3 seasons 10eps per; SF Academy 2 seasons 10/6

@paramountpictures.bsky.social There is still time to rescind your ridiculous order to cancel Late Night with Stephen Colbert; you need not fear retaliation from Trump or the GOP, you have an army of fans that will support you and you have the moral high ground to take a stand. Or lose us all.

Thone who claim the 2nd Amendment gives us the right to bear arms in order to protect our Freedoms from being endangered by a tyrannical government seem incapable of recognizing when our Freedoms are being endangered by a tyrannical government. HINT: There is a tyrant in the Office of the President

Remember the "I did this" stickers with Biden pointing, that were being stuck on gas pumps across the country? Where did they come from? Who designed them? Who printed and distributed them? WHO PAID FOR THEM? They constantly accuse left wing protesters of being paid by Soros. Peter Thiel paid them.

I hear that the Worst Lady, Melanoma, is very upset that she only got $40million for her movie but AntiKristi Noem got $220million to make commercials

To date, there has been neither checks nor balances over this corrupt regime. The GOP is no longer trustworthy, and the Dems are to spineless, to afraid of losing their seats to do any actual fighting. Impeachment and removal of this entire administration is the only solution

JJ@jjfroggy.bsky.social

Expose Trump for his raping of children. Quit FKN around with this guy. He’s killing as many people he can before he is ultimately gone. There is no need or reason to keep him in the position of president. It’s ridiculous!

If your vote doesn't matter, why are they working so hard to make sure you can't vote, or making it so difficult you won't bother to vote? Over 30% of eligible voters didn't vote in 2024; if they had, we wouldn't be in the straits we are in. #VOTE

Feral Maui Hermit@mauigreg.bsky.social

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count... PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY! I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix. Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
