The rich.
That's all ANY of this is for.

Democratic socialist in MN who's been shouting the warning signs of fascism in this country for a decade. Just want my children to grow up in a world that actually ALLOWS them to grow up as whole people, with human rights and stuff. Too much to ask?
The rich.
That's all ANY of this is for.
But I'm sure the rich people, who have never had to even enter a grocery store or pump their own gas because they hired people to do that stuff for them, know AAAALLLLL about the real world. πππ
Give them just $600 (full time @ natl min wage) and tell them it has to last two weeks.
Ohh that's RICH

This is so unbelievable I had to fact check it to make sure it was real. Sadly it is. More distraction from releasing the #EpsteinFiles Iβm sure. Iβm also sure he actually wants this and thinks he deserves it. To be clear. Americans wonβt ever sit at attention when he speaks. #pinks #sheshed /1
The @cato.org institute, a libertarian think tank, is out with a major new research study showing that immigrants, both legal and illegal, contribute significantly more in taxes than they receive in public benefits.

One would think that was obvious enough to not need a study, but I'll take it anyway.
After all, non-citizens don't qualify for most fed benefits anyway, but they still pay taxes in. More taxes than the rich do, but the rich constantly get more bailouts.

That's what happens when you fire the experts in favor of ignorant, triggerhappy yes-men. I would LOVE to watch them destroy themselves, if it didn't mean so many innocent people would die for it. π
We all knew he would start WWIII one day. We said so for years and were told we were overreacting. π
Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
I can so relate to this.
They can draft us AFTER they send their own sons and daughters to war.

I vote we deport Randy and his entire party because of their sociopathy, xenophobia and dangerous white supremacist ideology. FAR more dangerous than Mamdani.
Sadly, Iran is built for longevity & holding out as long as possible for as cheaply as possible. The US is entirely unprepared for this b/c leadership has zero military, historical, geographical, economical or strategic experience. Bobble-headed yes-men can't strategize their way out of a paper bag.
We can afford healthcare for all
We can afford childcare for all
We can afford education for all
We can afford housing for all
We can afford living wages for all
We can afford green energy for all
We donβt have those things because a handful of evil old men spend that money waging endless war.

Hope you feel better soon. My mental health has been balancing a tightrope lately so I haven't been very active myself. Been focusing on sustainability and resilience projects offline, mostly. Oh, but I DID finally find a local protest group to join! β
You know what they say - shoot for the sun, so even if you miss, you land among the stars! π
As long as they never come back idc where we shoot them...

Income tax was 90% the, but I think he's proposing a *wealth* tax. That's them paying 5% on their entire wealth, yearly, not just on income. Elon Musk alone, at nearly one trillion in wealth, would pay almost $50B a year.
Personally, I think we should do both. Tax everything over $999.99M at 100%
I would rather live next to a nice Muslim family than next to Andy shit-for-brains Ogles. ππ

I could be imagining it, but I see a lot of Lab in him/her.
Story of my life. Literally.
Police say homemade bombs were ignited outside the home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in what investigators are calling an βISIS-inspiredβ act of terrorism.
Authorities found three devices outside Gracie Mansion. One reportedly contained a volatile homemade explosive.

US CITIZEN Sunny Naqvi, born & raised outside Chicago, 2 other citizens & 3 legal residents were detained at O'Hare Airport.
CBP took Sunny to Broadview Detention, then moved her to a Wisconsin facility & finally abandoned her at a gas station after 2 days of lies to her family & police.
It's been a decade since I was proud of America. Biden years helped a little, but he spent a lot of his team cleaning up after theincontinent orange toddler so it was never really GOOD good.
