I think I liked it better when we mostly agreed that racism was bad and vaccines were good.

I want every dollar these MAGA grifters have stolen from us returned in the form of funding for public schools and housing for the poor. Every damn penny.

I guess the beauty of being a party that caters almost exclusively to the uneducated is that you can just make shit up and no one cares.

It seems pretty clear that Trump was going to attack California and blame Iran, but then he went and said it out loud and ruined the surprise.

Foreclosures are climbing: the number of homes repossessed surged 42% from a year ago. Lenders repossessed 5,794 properties out of 40,277 foreclosure filings in August. That’s up 22% from July and 42% from August 2025. www.attomdata.com/news/market-...

I’m starting to wonder if Trump will even bother to meddle with or fix the elections or even stage Coup.0. SCOTUS will shield him from any real consequences of his actions until he is dead. His kids are about to cash billions out of their crypto scam. And he doesn’t care about anyone else.

The CONCACAF Nations League match between St. Vincent & Grenadines and Sint Maarten is on at the pub. The stadium is a beautiful little venue built with filthy FIFA money back when they were bribing Caribbean nations for their votes. I love those stadiums and I’m not sure why. Go Sint Maarten.

We seriously over-value the concept of Wisdom in this country. We should care for the elderly. Yes. Give them everything they need. But we don’t need to listen to their antiquated ideas about politics, society, or anything else, really. You had your run. Step aside.

There is literally nothing stopping them from doing this to you. There is nothing stopping them from removing you from the country. Your rights mean nothing if you aren’t given a chance to exercise them. You could wake up in an El Salvadoran prison with no recourse. ICE must be abolished.

More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica
The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

The government is supposed to take care of the people. Our taxes are supposed to be spent on services and infrastructure that benefits the masses, not the few. It’s our money. All of it. It’s ok to demand that it is used to make our lives better. I’m sorry if this is controversial.

The US government is engaged in a blatant human trafficking scheme. This isn’t about immigration. It isn’t about crime. It isn’t about the rule of law. It’s human trafficking. Call it what it is.

The degree to which I rely on technology to even begin to do my job is getting exhausting. Half of the tech we use was pushed on us by Silicon Valley companies who put an EDU on their systems and marketed them as academic tools. We don't need it. I don't want it. Let me out. #academia

We live in a world where it’s cheaper to build plane parts 1,000 miles away and ship them across the country for assembly because certain states have guaranteed low labor prices through union busting.

Or, we shouldn’t normalize citizens driving around with fucking firearms in their cars and allowing cops to decide on the spot who is a “good” gun owner and who isn’t.

This is how sociopaths see the world. The State of Tennessee just tortured a woman in their bloodthirsty quest to end her life. The death penalty is barbaric and pointless.

I’m astonished how many people who will never be affected by a wealth tax have completely bought the lie that taxing the rich will somehow negatively impact them. You’re never going to earn over a million dollars a year. Stop worshipping money.

Billionaires want you to think taxing their wealth "doesn't do anything." Massachusetts passed a millionaire tax and raised $3.1 BILLION. That money is funding bridges, buses, teachers, and free community college. Wealth taxes WORK. That's why the rich hate them. Tax the rich.

We are at a crossroads in the United States that is going to require the “centrists” and the non-voters and the rational Republicans to vote every Trump acolyte out of office. You will not get another chance. This is it. Why isn’t this more clear?
