The average age of a first-time homebuyer is at a record high of 38 years old. Housing is a basic human and economic right that’s now out of reach for most Americans.
We need to pass my Stop Wall Street Landlords Act and do more to stop corporate landlords from inflating the housing market.

I’m in the hospital and when I refused to take the drug ivermectin, I asked to have it removed from my medicine list. They failed, and added it back to my drug list in the middle of the night. Good thing I noticed it had been returned in the middle of the night.

You gotta remember that for centuries men have stolen from women. They stole their labor, they stole their ideas and passed them off as their own, they stole their potential, they stole their freedom and autonomy. The past few decades have upended the historical precedent and they want blood over it

A lot of conservative men would burn the entire world down if it meant getting women out of the workforce because their entire sense of self is based on the idea that they were born superior to women

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.
He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

How many signs of democratic collapse do we need?
A push to impeach judges not for misconduct but defying Trump? Refusal to honor a court order to turn around planes? Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act outside wartime? A budget clearing him to ignore Congress? Jailing students?
The list goes on.

Any politician who doesn't understand that these fascists won't stop, and their destination is predetermined, shouldn't be in office.
