Visiting family in ID. I don’t know all the details re: Prop 1 but I do know lies when I see them. Anti Prop 1 sign: “Month 9 abortion is too extreme for Idaho”. 1. That’s not a thing and 2. It’s not part of the Prop you lying sacks of shit.

The SAVE America act... It sounds good on the surface - we only want US citizens to vote! Well aside from the fact that only an infinitesimal number of voter frauds has ever happened, I have a real example of why this Act would disenfranchise voters. My 85yo mom was born at home in rural MO. 1/5

The ICE doofs providing “security” at the Milan Olympics should be stopped at customs and asked for their social media history. If they have anything positive to say about the Orange Turd, they can’t enter. Problem solved, y’all.

I finally had it happen IRL- a dude in first class is all upset about a baby “screaming” (not actually screaming btw) across the aisle from him. He’s currently getting a life lesson in “patience” from the flight attendant who I’m sure didn’t imagine parenting a grown man when she got up today.

In the United States, we have the largest billionaire class in the world. At the same time, 40% of our population—including no less than 49% of our children—are poor or low-income. You don’t end up with an economy accidentally.
