Curious and passive aggressive red panda. Union member!

Honestly, the USPS has NOTHING, 100% NOTHING to do with elections. The USPS has one and only one job. Mailing mail. They are not arbiters of who gets a ballot. If a state sends a box of ballots to the USPS, they are required by law to deliver the phucking mail. The stupidity is mindnumbing.

Oh, look, another red state bringing back slavery under a brand new premise. Women, elderly, LGBTQ youth, poor, disabled, black, and brown people will be the targets. What the fuck is the matter with these states? Why are so many people there voting in people who would do this? *sigh* #Pinks

A Sunday thought: if you’re buying a book this week, consider ordering it from an independent bookshop. If they don’t have the book you want on the shelf, they can often order it for you. Independent bookshops do an enormous amount for writers, readers and their communities.

The Iran War, Trump’s stay out of jail free card, is so costly that the Navy, of the most costly military in history, is having difficulty meeting payroll. And collectively we’d rather fund this vanity war than feed & insure our citizens. We will harm millions to help one grotesque child rapist.

Annie Andrews: "What she [Darline Graham] said there was that her healthcare plan is, 'you should work hard until you die' ... I believe Darline's parents deserved better."

Another Republican healthcare expert heard from. 🤦‍♂️ Back in the good old days, “My parents went to work sick. They died young, when I was a kid”. Annie Andrews will do everything she can to prevent this, not ensure it happens more often. Save lives! Go vote South Carolina!

POLICY PLATFORM
MRS. DARLINE GRAHAM
NORDONE JUST RELEASED HER "HEALTH CARE PLAN"
COLUMBIA, SC
Mrs. Graham Nordone: "Government run health care.... bad idea after bad idea. Annie Andrews backs it all. I have a different background. My parents worked long, hard hours. If they were sick, they had to get up and go to work. My mother passed away when I was 11 and my father just over a year later."

I can’t believe this is a post that I am making. It has been confirmed by MSNOW, that the sailor who tried to commit suicide…by jumping off the USS Lincoln…is being charged by the Navy…and may face a cut in pay I would like to say “FUCK YOU,” to every member of this administration.

"the money, which was supposed to be used to provide health insurance for poor children, was instead hastily passed through multiple organizations before eventually landing in the bank accounts of two political action committees and the Republican Party of Florida." www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/g...

Data centers in the 7 states with the highest concentration of them use more water than L.A., Phoenix, and D.C. combined. Now Trump's EPA is making it even harder for communities to push back against them. He's forcing the Big Tech takeover on America, democracy be damned.

E.P.A. Moves to Curb Public Input on Air Pollution Permits for Data Centers

The Trump admin struck secret deals with 17 Big Pharma companies in the last year. I asked RFK Jr. to make those deals public. He agreed. Months later, still crickets. Why should Americans believe this isn't just another Trump handout to fatten Big Pharma's pockets?
