I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Roughly 98 percent of U.S. voters used paper ballots in 2024. NINETY-EIGHT PERCENT. They're just making shit up to create an argument to further restrict and attempt to control our election systems.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Tulsi Gabbard: "Electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country."
You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.
Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table. The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.
We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.
I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job. If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

This ⬇️ You may be brilliant. You may be talented. You may be a master of your craft... But if you don't have access to the levers of power, a network that can pull those levers on your behalf, or the wealth to buy access, your social mobility is limited.
I Travel Like Sound Dog@chadstanton.blacksky.app · last yr.This may be because I’m Black but I think we completely oversell the fluidity of class in the US. You can send your kid to the most exclusive private school in the country but if y’all don’t know how to network, come from a particular background, & hold some considerable wealth you’re wasting money
Alright fuck it. Who’s launching the democratic version of the Tea Party? I’m in.
Remind me: is it good or bad when authoritarian leaders start defining who is and who isn't Jewish? I feel like there are some historical examples of that happening.
