Every day, a fresh, astounding obscenity from the trash that we elected to govern our nation and the filth that they've gathered around them to enjoy power. Every fucking day,.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Every year Canada remembers the 14 women killed in a mass shooting at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, which happened in 1989. The women, all engineering students, were targeted by a misogynist with a gun.

Tonight Montreal's sky was lit up with beams of light in remembrance of each of them.

Anemones look like plants but they’re really animals. They catch prey with harpoon-like tentacles that sting and paralyze small fish that get too close. But damselfish seem immune and live among the tentacles

90% of the shit we see the GOP doing the Democrats could have done, within the law just outside the norms. They could have tested the borders of acceptability to make life better for millions. They made an active choice not to do it + they fucked us over for it www.oliverexplains.com/p/eff-rules-...

One massive contradiction. The overwhelming majority do not want war. Yet, what the ruling class(insert your favorite politician) and the media are worried about is that the declaration should come from Congress.

You do not get a say in what your government does. We will be responsible, though.
