Until these people grow a back bone and actually vote against the insanity. Never believe anything they say behind closed doors or on TV. They say they are against it and then the night before the vote they have a meeting and when the vote comes they always fall in line. Don't believe the lies

You'll never be able to convince the idiots constantly accusing Biden/Harris of genocide. This is especially true when they have to contemplate who was really behind Free Palestine, Uncommitted, Abandon Harris, etc. Interesting how there was a seamless transition to scapegoating AIPAC soon after.

Yup! People are out of their mind if they believe Trump didn’t tell Netanyahu to reject Biden’s efforts negotiating the release of the hostages. 😒 Here is Bibi denying it’s what he and Trump talked about before he met with Biden. www.axios.com/2024/08/15/t...

The ACA did lead to increased individual health insurance premiums in 2014. That was because insurance before that generally didn’t cover pre-existing conditions or benefits like maternity care, and it had lifetime and annual limits on how much it would pay.

This is what you say when you're so privileged that the outcome of an election has never put your freedom, rights, or life at risk.

Instead of understanding that elections are about defending the rights you have and your personal freedoms (needs) you can instead demand to be bribed for your vote.

But wait until you learn how wealth inequality is tied to white supremacy and if you work on dismantling white supremacy, it's gonna carry over into wealth inequality.

This is gonna blow your mind when you find out.

The good ol’ Leftist Edgelords, & Ladies alike, are pouncing on Pritzker this weekend. Guess all the heaping praise/fact that he’s “doing something” is really pissing them off. That and they’re super butthurt over the idea of a ceasefire. Keep your eye on the fact that his (((money))) is the topic.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
