After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

We gave healthcare CEOs tax breaks. They bought yachts while denying cancer patients treatment. We gave healthcare corporations tax breaks. Shareholder profits boomed while families were forced to choose between insulin and rent. What are we doing here?

Harvard can't use someone's race to decide if they are going to be a student, but ICE can use a student's race to decide if they are going to detain/incarcerate them. According to the Supreme Court, race can only be a factor if you want hurt, not help, someone.

They’re claiming the signature isn’t real but I’m going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epstein’s properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg. And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.

If you want to get your sea legs on mutual aid, one thing you can do is throw a 24 pack of water and some individually packaged nonperishable snacks in your trunk and just keep your eyes open. Pulling over and offering water to a person in distress can be a much bigger help than you realize.

Trump hosted over a dozen Big Tech CEOs at the White House last night. The group's wealth sits above $350 BILLION. The CEOs spent the evening thanking Trump for giving them handouts. And thousands of families had to decide between rent, healthcare, and groceries last night.

You're either on the side of Epstein, Maxwell, and Donald Trump, along with lies, cover-ups, sex traffickers, and abusers. OR You back survivors, truth, accountability, and WANT TO RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES. This isn't hard. It's one or the other. You cannot be both.
