The world feels more awful than usual tonight. So much hatred towards innocent folks; so much unnecessary violence.
Hating an entire demographic has never and will never make sense to me. If it makes sense to you, kindly unfollow me.
Sending love into the universe tonight for the Reiners. 🕯️🕯️

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

This 20 year old citizen, Mobashir was tackled, brutalized & abducted by #ICE.
"I felt like I was getting assaulted. I was getting kidnapped. And that’s exactly what it was,” he said.
He poses this question: If this #ICELawlessness is happening on camera, what's happening off camera?
Speak out! 🧵

Notice how Black politicians are endlessly nitpicked, framed as disappointing, or “not enough,” while white politicians are allowed growth and nuance. That passive-aggressive “criticism” from white liberals and leftists is just racism in polite language.

The Dow is drunk.
The average cost for holiday gifts is up 26%, credit card debt is at an all-time high, and the President is trying to convince Americans that the affordability crisis is a hoax made up by the Democrats. Spoiler alert: it's not.

They weren't "underage women". They were children! Minors! This is rape of children. Why can't you just say the truth instead of this pro-pedo "underage women" bullshit!!!!! You're enabling these rapists of children with your use of that term. Shame on you!
