At the Old South Church in Boston. I'm not a believer in a supreme being, but I do believe that trans people need to know that they are loved now more than ever in this world. They'll have to get through me first. And they'll need to make damned sure that I'm dead.

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

The Chinese car company Zeeker makes nice EVs. You and I are not allowed to buy them because they're Chinese. Google, on the other hand, is allowed to buy Zeeker EVs for its Waymo fleet. Imagine that. US mega-corporations get a pass while US citizens get fucked.

again I ask, on top of everything else in this clip, what the hell is going on with Trump's hair?

Trump on Democrats: "They will overturn it if they take over. All of the things, including men in women's sports, transgender for everyone, they will overturn it if they get in. We can't let that happen." 🤔

It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.

If you are outraged by the number of Black & low-income people that are incarcerated, the same for-profit system is driving the unlawful detainment & deportation of our immigrant neighbors. These are two sides of a very evil for-profit coin.

Mask fully off. Haley Stevens just posted a completely unhinged rant accusing Dr. Abdul El Sayed of "blaming all of America's problems on the Jews." This is disgusting, racist, false, and puts both Muslims and Jews in danger. Stevens should be ashamed of herself. Vote Abdul El Sayed for Senate.
