Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

One of the best interviews I've ever seen. It's on Netflix and called. She actually gave me hope and strength in our present dark times.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Didn't have adoption paperwork for 2 years, when the wife (gay camp worker) entered the picture. Then they tried to erase the dates of things like the adoption and their wedding date. Internet archives show inconsistency. Mentored by Paul Pressler and was in the SBC

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

LOL. Probably because the Republicans are laundering money through the data centers, so they're united while democrats weigh the pros and cons like they should be.

Almost like they figured out how to bullshit numbers so the stock market keeps working the way they want it to.

Fake job postings, fake interviews, 12 round interviews, rto 5x a week. Ppl having 1+ yr searches is now becoming common. Grads can't find jobs.

Something stinks. Bad.

I think maybe it's because the speaker doesn't want the Epstein files out and wants to talk about literally anything else.

Bubbles. They only keep yes people. You can see it in their businesses. They take shits and 4 people are looking at it telling him it's magnificent. They never talk to us normies, that's why it shocks them.

Real life is down here.

Ohhhhh. So letting the people who run 4 chan run all the corporations and buy government officials who infect minors minds and sometimes bodies was a bad idea?

Can we have the military collect that money and make sure the victims get it?

🍌🇺🇲🦅The Patriot Banana 🦅🇺🇲🍌 @patriotbanana.bsky.social · 18h

They should maybe remind their commanding officers to check in on the constitution they claim to like.

There's a few in there they could decide to use, help out those citizens getting dragged out of their homes with no warrant.

They could unilaterally end ice action.
They could help.
