Rich people kill you for money.
The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500. If you're a nurse or construction worker, you're paying Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a corporate lawyer, raking in millions, you're only paying Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. - @warren.senate.gov
Holy shit. That is horrifying. And the party is standing behind him. Well, maybe they are afraid to stand in front of him.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5h agoNEWSMAX: Your daughter fractured her collarbone and there was a handprint on her upper chest, and it left a bruise. How did that happen? MAX MILLER: What I can tell you is I didn't do that. 9 of the 11 previous days was my ex-wife's care. What's so troubling about child protective services is ...
You sure you want to put that on a tee shirt, mister?
J G Ballard bot@ballardbot.bsky.social · 17h agoI never said that I think car crashes are sexually exciting.
Sometimes you have a kid and you think “this is awesome” and then you have another kid, and you still think it’s awesome so you have a third and then you think “I‘d better stop here” and that’s the whole story.

Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits. Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @whitehouse.senate.gov
Man, we are about to see some *crazy* panicked attempts at voter suppresion in this state

My favorite thing about humanoid robots is that when they try to do a task and fall down, bits and pieces come flying off them, like a cartoon character.

They should be asked why they are not afraid of his violence. The answers will be interesting.
Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social · 5h agoEvery single Republican candidate in the country should be asked by the media if they agree with Donald Trump and Mike Johnson that Max Miller is a good person who should remain in Congress.
Oh no, more of that socialism we're supposed to pee our pants over.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 20h agoToday, for the first time in New York City history, 2,000 two year-olds received offers for FREE 2-K. A big step for those who take baby steps. A big step towards a City every New Yorker can afford.
Poor business elites. Poor, poor business elites… 😢
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 16h agoNew York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Doctors say that you should eat a balanced diet that includes whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seat seats and doesn’t wipe his ass says you should subsist entirely on sauerkraut and steak. For a busy eaters it can be hard to know who to trust.
This story is both hilarious and indicative of why DSA and democratic socialists are winning elections. In this case, they're following the Mamdani approach of "you can just do stuff" to make people's lives better. Turns out people like that!
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
Having dinner parties now means worrying if you have enough garlic bread, if you afford the good Parmesan cheese, and will you give your friends and family food poisoning. So much winning.
Derf Backderf@derfbackderf.bsky.social · 8h agoThe dysfunction has reached shocking new depths. Now our Bacon isn't safe to eat! That's it. America's total collapse is imminent.
Workers have no power. Owners have no taxes.

If money can’t buy power, the rich have nothing. This is the real revolution.

I looked up this guy and guess what. “McIntosh fought against U.S. Senator Bob Dole to get rid of regulations within the health and food industries.” These guys finally got their way and now we are afraid to buy groceries.

Republicans have sifted out any normal people and now it’s all freaks, abusers, and the very stupid.
I thought they just liked to kill people.
Sanho Tree@sanho.bsky.social · 6d agoThe boat strikes weren’t really about stopping drugs. They were more about testing for compliance to see who would obey illegal orders and remove any objectors. Pete Hagueseth was normalizing Trump’s ability to smite anyone who displeased him — like the angry God of the Old Testament.
“Because we don’t want to. We like this and it’s what we want. It’s everything we worked for our whole careers. Does that make sense?”

Free-loading preschoolers need to learn to love and celebrate work. Those little fingers are perfect for assembling iPhones.

Republicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.
Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · yesterdayIn a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.
Evidently, when you brag about hitting someone harder than anyone has ever been hit before and then use almost up all your weapons, you run low on weapons. Who could have predicted this incomprehensible turn of events?
Travis@someforeignfield.bsky.social · yesterday"Why is the U.S. Running so low on weapons?" Because we used them all! We spent the whole war bragging about how many sorties we flew, how many targets we struck. We had a lot of weapons! We just fired them all off!
