…and fucking our country and the entire planet up in the process??? 🤔
Let’s make that a quad!
These people don’t care about the economy. They’re disaster capitalists. They want shit to fail so they can swoop in and buy it all up while deregulating everything. They absolutely have no problem crashing the economy. None.
Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."
To which I say:
1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time.
2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.
Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.
Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.
These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?
Does anyone really believe that?
Abolish!
It’s “primary them all” season. You want these corrupt politicians out of office, right?
So here’s some to support. Check out your state.

for those fixated on congressional authorization, i get it. this is a massive violation of our constitutional order.
even so, congress *cannot* legitimize an illegal war. there is nothing congress can do to make it legal under int'l law.

There have been Christian Anarchist to exist, like Leon Tolstoy for example, Christian Anarchist believe in the teachings of Jesus and Anarchist egalitarian principles. But as Non-religious Anarchist myself, Religion as an institution will be in direct opposition to Anarchism as a ideology.
You fucking corporate Dems need to stand with Al Green. The man is showing some fight and the rest of you AIPAC’ers are leaving him outside to stand alone. Get your shit together Hakeem and Chucky
What if Talarico wins and his religious identity changes and he suddenly swings farther to the right? Then what? I'm sorry but I don't trust anyone who wears their religion like he does.

The maga owner of Zorro ranch formerly owned by Epstein has broken ground on a Christian retreat for children!In other words it's going to be a fkn sex trafficking haven 4 raping&abusing children like it was before.Fear not pedophiles& Republicans,the illegal sex trafficking will continue&thrive
Almost 250 years after we broke with George III, the question must now be faced: Are we a monarchy or a nation of laws? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/fascist-dictator-or-16th-century
Benito “Bad Bunny” Martínez Ocasio will lead a film on Puerto Rico’s colonial history directed and co-written by rapper Residente, announced weeks after he celebrated his heritage at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Sounds like a great precedent to set
Again, Congressman Ted Lieu says the Epstein files contain thousands and thousands of references to Donald Trump, some of them alleging he was R*P*NG CHILDREN.
What's the use of democracy if the media is allowed to lie to the public and therefore influence their voting? We have churches that do not pay taxes directly influencing people's votes. And this is what democracy is. It's bullshit. It doesn't work like we're supposed to believe.
Hakeem Jeffries says he will always support the incumbent Democrat over a primary challenger AND he says he will continue to take AIPAC money even when AIPAC is targeting the incumbent Democrat.
You can't do both Mr. Minority Leader.
It's literally overt hypocrisy & it's killing the party.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.
The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.
Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.
Pam Bondi needs to be prosecuted for her role in covering up the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. And NOT just for today but when she was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019 at very time Epstein was committing crimes in her very state. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-...
American Idiot indeed.
Thanks, Green Day. 👊🏼
