We, allegedly, can't afford to look after vulnerable people. Now, it seems, we can't afford to 'do' science, or to teach our people about the universe we live in. Should we all just go and live in a cave? Or ask those who can afford it to contribute a bit more in tax? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands

The progressive’s are already starting ‘look what establishment Dems did to Bernie now they’re doing it in Michigan.’ Stop this stupid fucking shit’ STOP IT! I’ll vote for the Democrat whether it’s establishment or progressive cuz we have to fucking win! The pro democracy party has to be in power!

He emitted over 20 tons of CO2 on Sunday in order to spend four hours in Burbank. Come on people, we need to push for carbon taxes! Carbon taxes are wealth taxes too if you want to think about it that way. I think that $200/tonne would add like $2/gallon cost and seems like a fine start.

Jeffries: We're going to crack down on corrupt price gouging. We're going to clean up the mess at the United States Supreme Court. And we're going to ban the president, vice president, and members of Congress from trading stocks. We have 100 days, America.

Trump is responsible of 27% of our national debt. By the end of his term he will be responsible for 1/3. EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT HAS REDUCED THE NATIONAL DEBT EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN HAS INCREASED IT ONE SIDE MAKES IT WORSE THE OTHER MAKES IT BETTER

No child deserves to be locked up in a place like the Dilley Trailer Prison. Innocent kids are treated like criminals. The food is sometimes moldy or has worms. Lights are kept on through the night. Medical care is often delayed or denied.

The International Olympic Committee is lifting the suspension of Russian boxers while Russia is bombing the old boxing center in Kherson. The IOC is on the wrong side of history.

Saw The Odyssey last night and realized there’s another reason the right’s rage furbys are foaming at their mouths over the film. It is deeply antiwar, making an argument that builds incident by incident. Nolan’s sin: making explicit the vicious destructiveness of “heroic” ambition and violence.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.
