“Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.” ― Paulo Freire Resist!!!

El-Sayed: "Mike Rogers is a guy who wants to put a data center in your backyard so he can make himself feel a little more manly by making an AI video ... he's a guy who went back to Florida so he could lick every single boot Donald Trump owns to bet for his endorsement."

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

The 1% have personal shoppers, in-home personal care (hair, nails, etc), private elevators for Dr visits etc. We never run into them b/c their lives are structured so they never have to occupy the same physical spaces as the rest of us. This is why Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous was such a shock.

Several factors explain the rise of the uber wealthy: greed, power, fame, selfishness . . . My mom blames TV wealth porn shows like Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous, Dallas, Dynasty, Kardashians, etc. She even points out that shows like Friends or Full House falsely portrayed what is affordable.

9/ Do not buy the spin that El-Sayed is the easy opponent Republicans wanted to face. Their own leaked memos, reported by Ken Klippenstein, call this kind of populist “uniquely dangerous” in a general election. Watch what they do with their money, not what they say on cable.

Good idea. They are going to keep trying to interfere and steal the upcoming midterms. We know it , we’re ready and we will fight

I called Max Miller a scumbag on Newsmax a few moments ago and criticized the Republican Party for tolerating domestic abusers who prey on women and little girls. Here’s the clip 👇

Trump is in Las Vegas touting what he calls the greatest economy in the history of the world, giving himself an A++++++ for making gas, food, groceries, health care, and housing more affordable than ever. It has never been lower in the history of the world.

I’m withdrawing from my reelection to spend more time with my old ugly hag of a wife instead of those young beautiful staffers, who definitely will think I’m super hot if I keep propositioning them, because I don’t want to give my wife half my 💩 or pay alimony. ~ Chuck Edwards (NC-R)

Tarrant County Commissioners voted to table a contentious proposal to cut the number of Election Day voting sites nearly in 1/2 this November from 316 to 176 until September 1. Republican Chaos Reigns Supreme

Tarrant County Commissioners debated a contentious proposal to cut the number of Election Day voting sites nearly in half this November from the 2022 midterms, from 316 to 176. Several citizens were removed from the meeting, including a former Texas lawmaker. They decided to table the proposal.

North Carolina Republican Drops Re-election Bid After Ethics Rebuke Chuck Edwards made the announcement after the House Ethics Committee recommended he be censured for “persistent unprofessional and inappropriate conduct” toward two female staff members.

Never did I think that America would be capable of electing such filth to run the White House and be supported by a compliant and cowardy republican congress that knows exaclty what Trump is an the crimes he has committed.

Anyone else think it’s weird that Trump alleged massive election interference by the CCP… but never really followed that up with any action? It should be abundantly clear these claims of election fraud are just a pretext to justify interfering in the midterms.
