Get your asses back to work n negotiate for ‘we the people’ or get tf out. This is unacceptable. I won’t be paying taxes nor, sd any of our blue cities/states continue to support this clusterfk w fed support.

We are paying for our government to attack us while they fk us blind.

So in the Batman The Animated Series, Poison Ivy poisons Harvey Dent because he literally bulldozed an endangered species of flower into extinction. Why? To build a fucking prison.

And *she's* supposed to be the bad guy? She's basically Luigi Mangione.

Split screen photo showing poison ivy as depicted in Batman The Animated Series on the left and Luigi Mangione on the right. Poison Ivy is a cartoon with a green bodysuit and matching green gloves long red hair and green eyes. She poses with her hand upon her chest and her chin tucked down as if saying "who me" incredulously at the camera. On the right Luigi Mangione wears a brown t-shirt under a beige prison uniform. He texts his chin down and raises his eyebrows as he looks into the camera as if to say, "who me?"

“I don’t mask and I’m not sick”

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid”

“I’m not worried I trust my immune system”

“If I get sick I will try harder to get better”

These are all coping mechanisms.

People can’t accept that they will likely become disabled eventually. 🧵

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Trump and Speaker Johnson think that destroying our health care and jacking up the cost of groceries is about hurting Democrats.

It’s not. It’s about hurting and punishing the American people.

When I see grown men in full tactical gear brutalizing unarmed people, I see they are weak & soulless. These are the men the Regime recruits and emboldens. It’s highly effective.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

Don’t care if you don’t like him.
Right now he’s fighting for healthcare for my patients who desperately need it!

Whatever he has done in the past doesn’t matter at this point when we are dealing with the GQP and the evil regime is pulling the crap they are now!!!

Because the men on the Supreme Court are misogynists . . .

I think a man like Neal Katyl should have argued for Keeping Section 2 of The Voting Rights Act

She did a great job today but they hate women.

Many folks can’t comprehend the loneliness and frustration of dealing with chronic illness.

They believe that when you get sick, you go to the doctor and they “fix it.”

The reality is far different.

You’re often gaslit, ignored or mistreated.

You learn quickly that no one is coming to save you

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

Anyone vote for this? Anyone? A nation underfed is making America great again?

The U.S. Labor Department is warning of a potential food crisis linked to the Trump administration’s immigration raids due to a resulting worker shortage.
