Tired of the status quo. Both sides’ leadership are awful and painfully detached from how we feel. I got several rambunctious cats. Huge proponent for mental health. Like huge. And I like sharing poetry about it.

FYI. If you follow me. You’ll know I’m madly in love with @landlockedmermaid.bsky.social and make sure she knows it. 😘😘😘

Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

This right here is a great read and why he’s literally the biggest fraud on the planet. None of his promises stack up to the bluster. How is a company with this future worth more than auto manufacturers like Toyota? I see a bubble popping.

Can we just start making death threats illegal online? Seriously? It seems like an easy step.

You guys might actually do better saying nothing. Jesus.
Squirrelly non-answers like this are why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov approvals are lowest of the major Dems

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?

MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

The rich need to realize. Once we’re out of money and they have it all. What good will it be? If the lower and middle class have no money. Money loses its value and those trillions become useless. I just don’t get their end game. What’s the fucking goal?
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Moskowitz: By the president’s own metrics, what accomplishments does Noem have?

• She’s holding up 200 miles of border wall.
• She’s deported fewer people than Obama.
• She’s not helping any of these red-state governors with their disasters.

Why hasn’t he fired her?

Until bad police are removed from places of power. This can never go away.
This is wild.

41 DUI arrests by a Tennessee trooper. All dismissed. 22 drivers were completely sober.

He “resigned”. No explanation. No accountability. No apology. His personnel file doesn’t even mention the cases.

Police departments shouldn’t be in the business of shielding corrupt officers.

This is the BEST explanation of what the UK is doing after America’s Department of Justice’s release of the Epstein Files.

Not raping and murdering children is part of protecting America you dumb…Nevermind. Jesus fuck.
This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

Part of what’s so frustrating g that doesn’t get talked about is our hard earned money gets used to fund the lifestyles, the wars, the killing, the hate. When most of us never ever wanted this shit. God we’re so broken.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you spent 40 seconds of that retort NOT saying abolish ICE. You don’t match what the populace is literally screaming for. Get over your corporate backers or step aside. You and @schumer.senate.gov
A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:

"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."

Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

🧊 had secretly bought up warehouses across the country to use as detention death camps. But local residents where the camps would be located have fought back by putting pressure on local officials w/great success. See the map to determine if your town is affected & call your local officials to 🛑 it.
MAP: All 23 industrial warehouses ICE wants to turn into detention ‘death camps’
In an apparent attempt to avoid public outcry and scrutiny, ICE has sought to secure these leases in private. So we made a searchable map of every proposed site.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering

Nobody will defend a multicultural economic zone???? Maybe if you a literally just the handful of humans causing the problems went away(bibi, Putin, trump, xi)defense is no longer as important. We’re tired of fighting the rich’s wars only so they can profit more off us. It’s wild.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

This shit. This shit right here is why I’ll won’t help people on the side of the road anymore.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
