No lies detected.
If you're supporting ANY politician who doesn't support single payer healthcare ( #MedicareForAll) then you need to find a different politician to support.

Only when as a whole we begin doing this we're going to keep running around in circles fighting for what's right. It's time

I used Facebook for 30 minutes this morning and I've got this message for five hours. Facebook works hard to make life hard for users. Also fuck this nazi cunt

Twitter began doing the same a little over a year ago. It's ridiculous, why even have a direct messaging then? At this rate, everyone will go back to using AIM & I'm completely fine with that.

Meanwhile in Ireland, A country with a paltry GDP of $558 Billion, a little over half of the U.S. War Budget, they are funding Artists instead of AI. Imagine That #Klobutcher

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 5d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

A budget is a statement of your values.

Congressional Republicans chose to put money in the pockets of the wealthy, increase the debt, and cut health care. Those are their values.

This is our moment to stand up for our values—to lower costs and expand access to health care.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

Funny, I was just thinking of how if we criticize Israel we're suddenly "anti-semites". I'm curious why that same logic isn't applied to Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia or say Jordan. If we're critical of them, we aren't called "Islamaphobes".

Something seems rather "off".

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
