MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

The boycott of OpenAI(ChatGPT) has now surpassed 4 million. We’re also seeing many small businesses (and even some mid-sized companies) cancel their subscriptions. One of the most amazing things over the past year has been watching consumers remind big corporations just how much power they have.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Priorities.

Where’s Section 31 when you need ‘em?

That process is fraught, as well. If there are small errors, like a missing signature, or the vote is cast in the wrong jurisdiction, it can be rejected. I mean, still try to cast one by all means but…there’s a reason they’re called place-votes (rhymes with, “placebos”).

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

The Epstein class is making money off this war. The other 99% of Americans are getting screwed out of basically everything.

my most common self criticism when writing, especially after reading really good prose, is God i am not smart enough to be doing this. but you can't listen to that. you have to keep writing your dumbass little story. you have to

TED makes multi-million-dollar investment to boost safe abortion in 10 countries This is the first time TED’s Audacious Project has invested in an organization specifically focused on abortion access and care.

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”

FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

It’s so wild that one of the reasons BlueSky is dissed so much is because there are smart people here who write and read books and then they have the gall to talk about what they know from writing and reading books. How dare you.

If we can’t brute force requirements into our solutions, then who even are we? /s

Gallego: "Young American men and women are dying because of these idiots"

when people point back at Reconstruction to explain where we are as a country (a good impulse) its often to claim that Reconstruction completely failed

I'd say it's more like: Reconstruction was partial and compromised, which kept the Civil War going as a domestic political battle vs a won war

You can encourage people to become more civically involved without downplaying the importance of voting.

Voting is just one part of it... but it is an important part.

So is being active in your community and speaking up for the causes that you believe in.

Both matter greatly.

Age verification is bad and I’m struggling to understand the point of a law that requires only self-reporting without any actual verification.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

I volunteer The Heritage Foundation, Congress, the broligarchy, and ICE. That should keep those sweet Minotaur babies busy for a bit.

That’s fantastic consistency! Congrats!

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

Pretty! Did you make it from scratch?
