This is also before we get to the other part of that. Richer people get free stuff all the time. They get full meals and complimentary stuff on top of the normal things they were buying. They get discounts and deals. Once you clear some wealth gates, things get cheaper.
we need a real plan to stop racists. asking people to fix their hearts isn't going to work without pressure. one thing i'm a fan of is making the targets of bullies and bigots harder to mess with. don't let people just say shit about muslims or trans people or migrants. don't nod to avoid conflict
the ken jennings thing is a reminder that a lot of people don't actually realize that someone still being a member of the mormon church means about someone. everyone is willing to judge people going to evangelical and big american protestant churches but being a mormon is just as big a red flag.
Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.
Congratulations to the Haley Stevens campaign on their crackerjack strategy of being super islamaphobic and weirdly antisemitic to Jewish people who disagreed with her policies
People are tired of ghouls being paid millions in insider trading money to act like cartoons and do nothing

All that is needed to win the world of tomorrow is courage. The courage to sacrifice small comforts and illusions of false security. And we have leaders. Hold leaders to account and build the movement. Be that which you wish to see in the world. Cultivate righteous action, and others will follow.
she did all that and for what? she acted like that in public, on purpose
VoteHub@votehub.com · 16h agoMichigan U.S. Senate Democratic Primary Washtenaw County, multiple vote types: 🟣 Abdul El-Sayed – 13,843 (69.6%) 🟠 Haley Stevens – 5,674 (28.5%)
Asked my neighbor if he voted, he hadn't, so he and my family all piled in our car and drove to vote for El-Sayed, and then we smoked a bunch of weed and had a nice time sitting on my front porch. Good day.
"Your distorted worldview that gave them human rights" says it all. Mask fully off right there. And THAT is why you press a single line of questioning. To catch the slip.

Im sure this is fine, everybody loves us and will treat us exactly the same when they realize how weak and inept we've become
CNN@cnn.com · 20h agoThe US military has exhausted nearly 80% of its interceptors for a key missile defense system as senior US military commanders are warning that the Pentagon's munitions stockpile is "dangerously low," according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. https://cnn.it/4yZ1UWn
why are my taxes going toward subsidizing the police when i might never even need to be beaten up and violated
it is more desirable to them that rod liddle beat his pregnant partner than if he had not. they like him more for it, because it reinforces their hierarchies more. men over women, adults over children, etc. it is comforting for them to see their hierarchy play out true
If you want to be friends, you have to stop expelling and terrorizing and harming and killing my friends. That's just a rule I have about friends. www.the-reframe.com/if-you-want-...
If You Want To Be Friends, Then Why Aren’t You Friendly?
A look at one of the most alarming and pressing problems of our age: the much-lamented fact that "the left" won't be friends with "the right," over "political views."

My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters
Ciara | Ciaraíoch 🎨@ciaraioch.bsky.social · yesterday"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.
So no more half-measures, no more politeness, and no more fucking meeting in the middle. Every tradition weighing upon the world today like a rusted yoke must be named and uprooted and purged, and every doddering fence-sitter pushed over the edge with the rest of the sun-baked garbage.
I appreciate hearing what underlying conditions might make this sickness worse. I would love good, trustworthy public health information from somewhere. But after six years of covid messaging that has mislead people about risks, mistakenly confined risks to aberrant "less-than" bodies...
hi my name is sam and this is my petition to STOP HURTING MEG IN FAMIL Y GUY!!! 1/64 :) keep readingt!!
At this point unless you can be legally held culpable you should be lying on any job application, the process is convoluted and the chances of your boss both 1) caring 2) not being a complete idiot are near zero

Like everything else, we've also relentlessly exported our revolting political culture to the entire world, to the point that every online right winger is identical, they all talk like Nathan from Utah who got his start doing ironypoisoned racism "bait" on 4chan
Liberals love killing people just as much as conservatives, they just like to socially murder people so their nice suit doesnt wrinkle
