Food, healthcare, shelter are basic human rights. That means I believe everyone should have them. Even assholes.
Your basic needs shouldnβt depend on other peopleβs charity or good will.
I want grumpy old recluses, with zero friends and no internet, to get free healthcare.
Thatβs the whole point.
Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.
Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.
A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
2,000 National Guardsmen in L.A.? Trump isnβt sending aid...heβs sending a message: compliance at gunpoint.
Deploying soldiers to our own streets like enemies of the state? This isnβt leadership. Itβs authoritarian theater. And we should be furious.

PBS didn't "become woke". You grew up to be a bad person.

Hate to be millennial about it all but it is just mental that my whole working life has just been a series of recessions and βeconomic shocksβ, underpinned by stagnant wages
I see you. ππ»ππ₯³
The president of the United States is upset that he doesnβt look pretty enough in his new portrait, but please tell me more about how women are petty and emotional.
This, right here..

See the problem?!
The people Attorney General Bondi is calling βterroristsβ have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.
It does not matter at all what Mahmoud Khalil has said. The government does not get to black bag a legal permanent resident for their speech. We have a 1st Amendment right to free speech that forbids the government from punishing people for it. That's a solid red line that should never be crossed.
Free Mahmoud Khalil.

A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks.
Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.
When Trump says "We're going to become so rich you're not going to know where to spend all that money"
He's not talking to you.
He's talking to himself and his fellow billionaires -- to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
THEY'RE going to get richer. With YOUR money.

Yeah, fuck no.
Being middle aged during these times is wild because itβs like, will I die of a preventable disease, will I die as a casualty in WW3, or will I live long enough to die when humankind gets eradicated by climate change?
I just finished a Farscape rewatch, and I forgot how good that show was from casting to wardrobe. Firefly is always a good one, too.
"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.' -J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit, pub. 1937
Throw in a chunky cozy homemade blanket and some tea or cocoa and then tell me when weβre going!
