Cryptocurrency is a scam. I'm not on social media looking to get laid. No one I just met on the internet is getting access to my money.

I am desperately glad that people I once loved are out of my life, so I don't have to hear them justify the atrocities they voted for.

Part two of strip-mining the poor to their very bones.
But wait! There’s more! The blood of the poor is literally one of Americas largest exports.
Why blood makes up over 2.5% of all U.S. exports
In the U.S., it's legal to compensate people for their blood donation. Plasma donations can be a way to make extra income, but some groups can't donate.

"We can't defund ICE when the stock market is doing so well".
Makes me wonder how often these human sacrifices have to be performed to keep the wealthiest fully inflated.

If "whites" and "Christians" are not the first and last choice at every level, they believe they are being oppressed.
Losing privileges you NEVER should have had in the first place is NOT OPPRESSION.

“So your belief is white Americans face more discrimination than Black Americans - prior to the Trump administration fixing this?”
Jeremy Carl, Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state Department spot, is “likely to sink” after today’s performance, per CNN.

So... apparently it's a "cultural genocide" if white men are not completely dominant in any and all measures of power.
SEN. KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?”

My wife and son kept us in groceries with plasma donations when we were at our lowest point. (My blood is hilarious, so I could only help by driving them there.) Plasma and other blood products save lives.
But can you call it a donation if you are paying to strip mine the veins of the poor?

All of these points, plus the abortion "debate".
Instead of instituting universal health care, raising wages, and improving food and housing security, they'll just endanger women with abortion bans and call the problem solved.

Election fraud perpetrated by individuals happens in tens and tens of cases nationwide! Oh noes! We must disenfranchise everyone right away!
Rep. Brian Steil: "I flew home to my home state of Wisconsin, went to buy a 6 pack a beer, the clerk asked for my ID, confirmed it, and then I was allowed to buy the beer. I just think it's nuts that we protect our beer more than our ballots."

10% of US citizens do not have government issued identification, often because they can't afford one. Gee, I can't imagine how disenfranchising the poorest segment of the population would benefit the current administration....
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Since the current administration sees the rich rapists as the only victims here, I'm less than optimistic about anything positive coming from this.
Attorney General Pam Bondi will face questions from lawmakers on Wednesday over the Justice Department's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein that have exposed sensitive private information about victims despite redaction efforts. https://to.pbs.org/3ZuO7Xe

Looking at the left side of that graph made me want to prosecute someone. Less than a metric ton, and barely more than one percent.

ICE isn't a new Gestapo. America was doing worse shit long before Nazi Germany copied their homework.
"You tell me that Hitler is a mighty bad man. I guess he took lessons from the Ku Klux Klan. You tell me Mussolini's got an evil heart. Well, it mus-a been in Beaumont that he had his start-- Cause everything that Hitler and Mussolini do, Negroes get the same Treatment from you." --Langston Hughes

Oddly enough, I could not possibly care less about a pedophile's bitching. Five bedrooms instead of a few square feet and a barred window: better than he deserves.
He should be happy that he’s not going to jail where he belongs.

When someone asks me, "have you tried Jesus", in my head, the answer is always, "because the treatment is inconsistent and the side effects are a nightmare".
Or abortion, or trans people existing, or teaching actual science in schools, etc.

An immortal, all-powerful deity cannot be harmed by a mere mortal... but a butt-hurt religious leader can.
Millions of children are STILL brainwashed with the Catechism today.
“What is sin?” (Cathechism reference CCC 1849)
“Sin is an offense against God.”
Hidden lesson: A child will learn to fear offending God more than hurting another human being.
Sheer child abuse!

Nazi Germany copied the American racist playbooks, not the other way around. What is happening now is American to the core.

America needs to stop reinventing slave patrols.

Tell ICE to stop acting like villains, using gestapo tactics, and kidnapping people, and then maybe people will stop using those words to describe them.
Actually, fuck that. Just abolish them.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Everyone - EVERYONE - in all three branches of American government must be thoroughly investigated by neutral, external parties for their role in failing to stop this carnage.
Reminder that the Democratic response to the Floyd murder was significantly larger police budgets nation wide and even more military equipment.
Every Democratic leader of the last decade has failed catastrophically and must be removed from power for that party to have any hope of truly resisting.
