Arlington spends gobs of $/yr on fascism-enabling Flock cameras, at a time when ArlCo has no long term subst abuse treatment & an 8 wk wait for emergency shelter

Thanks. Several people have said this! You need to take it up with Obama, who decided more than a decade ago to take over the term, own it and even campaign on it.

@kaine.senate.gov Assuming 2030 elections are held, you are going to get primaried and lose. We will remember, like it or not. This is a seriously shameful, cowardly act.
i just realized what hes describing here is a fundraising email, they sold us out for for the promise of dope ass fundraising emails
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

I've got nothing witty or insightful, just this -- fuck Musk. Just, fuck that guy. Wotta asshole. Saying it while we can. Everybody on earth would have to say it 125 times to equal his salary. I dunno, maybe worth a shot.
To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
