Fascinating studies on the broader effects of Walmart:

A convicted felon for president Great job America! Way to go. I’m so proud of you.

whine, whine; omg how do we gird our loins for four more years of this insufferable excuse for a human being…?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

This lying, convicted felon rapist is getting off scot-free –– despite the fact that his big sorry guilty ass should be in jail –– but he continues to bitch and moan.

So excited to attend a conversation with the amazing @unfitchristian.com tonight at the historic El Dorado Ballroom! #KindredStories events are always a vibe!

Rarely in life do you get 10 minutes to dunk on Vivek, Musk, and the MAGA civil war, but Christmas came two days late apparently. Was able to do just that tonight on MSNBC. Thanks to guest host Jason Johnson for the invite.

That moment when #maga finds out their leaders and new tech bro friends actually meant that kicking out “illegals” would clear the way for low wage manual labor jobs, not high paying tech jobs, for the “native born” blue collar Americans who voted for Trump.

I’m watching “No Good Deed” on Netflix. It’s a series. I didn’t know what to expect turning it on but this shit is good. Dark comedy.

There is something happening to White people in college that is very scary to system.

The whole purpose of the maga right at this point is to rewrite the history of Donald Trump from one of failure to one of greatness.

I can never place trust in a country that planned and carried out an execution on its own citizen. Fred Hampton should still be alive.

I NEVER want to hear anyone say the GOP cares about working people or the cost of living!

FACTS: The GOP don’t care about you, will raise your taxes, take away your healthcare, gouge prices, lower wages, outsource USA jobs, give away your hard earned Social Security as a handout to billionaires!!!

I thought this is who fueled the crack epidemic

Yep this again.

Affirmative action was never about admitting unqualified Black kids.

It was always about ensuring qualified Black kids could also get accepted despite a world of systemic racism.

The “unqualified admission” we don't hear of, are legacy students—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale.

Ryan Borgwardt “came back on his own” because of his family, a sheriff said

They’ll say “if you took out a loan, you should pay it back instead of asking me to pay for it in taxes” in their hyper individualistic smugness, completely ignoring that the corporations who owns the boot on the necks has been leveraging their very lives as collateral for generations.
