I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

If we took the wayback machine to before 2016, I didn’t agree with Lindsey Graham, but I respected him. His transformation into a Wormtail-like Trump sycophant, driven by the pursuit of power over principle, is one of the most disturbing political transformations in modern U.S. history.

hearing lindsey graham got his head stuck in a honey jar and as he was struggling to pull it off he stepped on a roller skate and slid across the room where he fell out a third story window and into a hippopotamus pit

I do support age limits. Given we are overall healthier longer, what should be the top age (at time of election) for senators, representatives, and presidents? Curious what people think 🤔

Starting a new instrument (classical guitar) in my 60’s has opened doors I never imagined. My lifelong anxiety has diminished somewhat My concentration has improved My appreciation and understanding of music, especially classical has increased markedly And I’m still a beginner 😊

What I’d love to see in a candidate’s platform: 👉🏼Universal Healthcare 👉🏼Wealth Tax of 20-40% 👉🏼Tax big corporations 👉🏼immigration policy that addresses labor needs 👉🏼constitutional amendments to abolish dark money in politics 👉🏼term limits on all government positions 👉🏼 Antitrust laws enforced

Interesting wording: everyone I’ve seen who claims to have had contact with Mitch McConnell says they “spoke to” him, not that they “spoke with” him. It may mean nothing. Or it may reflect careful wording that lets people imply contact without claiming there was an actual two-way conversation.

I’m so exhausted by the endless hyperbole used by media, both legacy and newer news content creators. Democratic socialists don’t hate establishment democrats. They have policy ideas that resonate with voters. Government has not worked for average Americans. People just want a fair system

I have a cousin who is full on maga. I don’t speak to him but I do see his stories on instagram. His posts are racist as always, but they have lost any edge and are just sad memes. He’s becoming more pathetic each day. Cults ruin people

As an “elder gay” I have had issues with the community adopting the term “queer” as a moniker. In my experience it was always used like a cudgel to deride and demean. I’m coming around slowly and have stopped wincing when I hear it used. Progress for an old queer guy 😊

🧵years ago I started working for a public school system as a speech therapist. At the beginning of the year all district meeting, the keynote speaker was the owner of a successful ice cream company in the Midwest. He retold the story of when he was elected to a local school board,

Can we finally all agree that the argument “we should run the country like a business, and therefore elect businessmen to run it” has been a failed experiment?
