I support people over corporations, the rights of women (and men) over their own bodies, the rights of children to live without fear, and the obligation of all people to help each other in making a better world.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Women voters need to hear this clip over and over and over again.

Along with "grab them by the pussy".

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

calling Sarah Squirm's snl character "jewface" is so funny. she is literally jewish! that's her real face! it's like getting mad at Kenan Thompson for doing "blackface" lmao

reddit snippet: Her recent sketch was blatant Jewface, barely masked by an Italian persona. The exaggerated expressions and nasal voice revive anti-Jewish libels from the darkest chapters of history.

Humans die, plants grow, CO2 drops, biosphere resets, and earth moves on from the anthropoextinction event.

The earth gets an A/P layer marking when humans died, and cockroaches did not.

It is called "positive feedback".

Humans kick off a warming trend.

It dries out the forests, they burn, adding more CO2 and more warming.

Melting permafrost and releasing trapped methane in the ice.

More warming, the methane trapped off the continental slope expands and bursts to the surface.

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.
