🤦🏼‍♀️

Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.

If the United States is going to go around the world causing regime changes, we should practice here first.

Seems to be the pattern…

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.

This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Almost my ass.

I have a job. You are it.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

I know the hypocrisy is part of the point and that none of these people actually stand for anything beyond, power, money, and making others suffer, but it’s still doing my head in to see the “what about the children” crowd pivot to a pro-pedophilia stance this fast.

abused, put them in a room w/a man who “pretends” 2 care, that child will bel he is better then the rest of her abusers.

So was Marge “a perfect gentleman” as Giuffre stated, or was he just not as horrific as the rest?

Giuffre committed suicide in Feb, right after Marge was sworn in. (2/3)

I had a thought. It’s horrendous, but hear me out.

Virginia Giuffre stated “Marge was a perfect gentleman.” We learned via released emails that Marge spent hours w/ Giuffre alone as a child.

If u take a child who has been violated in the worst way by many, & (1/3)

Folks, those trying to raise the issue of what is a minor and what is a child (like making a point of calling teenagers children), they are DISTRACTING us all from what matters: punishing those who abuse minors. That is the only thing to focus on. They can argue 'what's a child' in court later. 🧵

Yes please

Yeah, he knows that Ben.

Old enough to remember when raping children was a dealbreaker in politics.

TENNESSEAN: “Ethics complaint filed claiming 8 Senators ― including @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty ― violated conflict of interest rules by supporting a provision allowing them to sue the government for millions…”

Vote them out!

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

This is s good video to bookmark for the inevitable creeps that try justifing predatory grown ass adult men with those under 18.

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is me at 15. I’m a child.
I’m a CHILD.
