Cancer treatment should be enough. The idea that you can still lose Medicaid while fighting for your life is cruel, absurd, and deeply American in the worst way. People will miss care, miss meds, miss deadlines and then Trump’s system blames them for the damage #TrumpMakesUsSick

If you always just “vote blue no matter who” why the fuck would they change? They won’t. That is why we have to work outside of this political system. It doesn’t serve us and we shouldn’t keep expecting it to. We are on our own. We have to organize into mass cooperation and civil disobedience.

To "earn" a billion dollars, working 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, for 40 years, you'd have to be getting paid over $12,000 PER HOUR. I don't make that much in 2 MONTHS! Amassing that much also assumes you spend $0 of it to live. There is no scenario in which it is honestly earned, or ethical.

When you say something like 1/3 or 1/2 of the country “voted for this” you are leaving out children, prisoners, green card holders, migrants, disabled Americans who can’t get to the polls, workers without PTO, people purged from voter rolls, etc, etc, etc. This is what they want. Don’t fall for it.

Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥 But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism. I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.

It‘s so distasteful watching right-wing journalists salivate over more spending on weapons & growing the military. Even where it‘s necessary, it should be a matter of sadness & regret, not greeted with eagerness. You get the sense they prefer taxes spent on guns than benefits or education.
