True abuser language.

[Patrick Robles @robles4theppl]

When Charlie Kirk was killed, people said he was a father taken who didn’t deserve to be murdered for doing what they love etc.

This week, two unarmed, undocumented fathers were killed by ICE

Where’s that same outrage? Does our humanity end at immigration status?

Democrats wore masks so their neighbors wouldn’t get sick.

Republicans wear masks so their neighbors don’t know they are a racist.

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

Socialism isn't "free stuff" it is literally just using your tax dollars doing something to benefit you and other workers instead of using it to buy a stadium for a billionaire. That's it. That's all it is.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

This weekend I’m having huevos rancheros in my district. Then visit the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Grab some rugelach at Canter’s deli. Stroll diverse Venice Beach. Have pho for dinner. And hug my kids and kiss my wife, all of whom have yellow skin and slanted eyes.

I love America

[Maryam @hell_line0]

Remember that flashback scene in The Handmaid's Tale when all of the women suddenly don't have access to their money and are summarily fired? It feels insane, and Now understand that trans people in Kansas just woke up and no longer have their ID. No way to drive, no way to vote, no way to prove who they are. That happening in America should feel just as insane.

Picking up floating litter is a crime. Arranging seashells is a threat. Throwing a sandwich is a weapon. A rainbow painted on a sidewalk or flag can cause a meltdown. MAGAs are the biggest snowflakes on planet earth.

i strongly agree, as long as the DNA of all male fathers and children should be kept in a database to be routinely cross checked against DNA obtained from rape kits. full transparency for all.🩷

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

Police will shoot a baby then attack you for protesting them shooting a baby

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

He raped a girl so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. You have a daughter @jimmyfallon what the fuck is wrong with you. It is insane to me that this man has continued to be platformed and praised despite what he did.

To all the men who continue to kiss his ass, what if that was your daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, or mother? What would you want to happen to the man who was responsible? How would you feel if the majority of people brushed off what happened and gave the man responsible millions of dollars and fame? Explain to me why he is allowed to live life as a free man after what he did.

10 years ago today Police took Dylan Roof to Burger King after he killed 9 Black people in church.

This week Police killed 1-year-old Black child named Kohen Wiley on the lie that his mother stole diapers.

A 1 year old Black baby is more threatening to police than an armed white supremacist who just mass murdered 9 Black people.

[Gabrielle Blair @designmom]

99% of abortions are due to unwanted pregnancies and men cause ALL unwanted pregnancies. Men could easily reduce abortion by 99% simply by ejaculating responsibly and controlling where they put their sperm. But men choose not to. Men don’t actually care about abortion.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

Honestly, from the bottom of my soul:

I don’t care if you call it left or right.

I don’t want children in Gaza to die.
I don’t want children in Ukraine to die.

I don’t want people forced to leave home,
cross oceans,
and end up doing desperate things just to survive.

And I don’t want the people who were born in peaceful towns
to lose the peace they grew up with.

I just want a world where kids can grow old.

Where families can eat dinner together.
Where dads can yell at the TV during an NFL game.
Where moms can buy way too much at Costco.
Where neighbors argue about barbecue, gas prices, and basketball.

A boring, ordinary, safe life.

That should not be a political dream.

That should be the minimum we ask of Earth.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

The US is going to lose this, and not on the pitch. They’re going to lose it because of MAGA.

To be clear, this isn’t America. The America that showed up shared a beer, gave visitors a lift to the stadium in the rain, swapped shirts and learned the chants. That America has been everything the World Cup is supposed to be. Warm, generous, curious, genuinely brilliant hosts. The kind of people who remind you why the rest of the world fell in love with the place in the first place.

And then there’s the cult.

Five billion people are watching this tournament. Five billion. Mexico’s lighting up, Canada’s lighting up, and most of America is right there with them, celebrating the one month the planet actually likes each other. The whole world showed up in good faith.

And then there’s the one demographic on earth determined to ruin it. The 47-year-old MAGA white guy screaming “USA, USA” over everyone, raging about cuck houses and air conditioning, from the basement of his mother’s house. Not Mexico. Not Canada. Just him. The single most resentful man at a global party of five billion, and somehow he thinks the problem is everyone else.

Here’s what normal Americans already know and the cult can’t stand hearing. MAGA doesn’t love America. It loves a grievance wearing America’s flag. They booed their own allies. They embarrassed their own neighbours. They took the one month the world actually likes each other and used it to show every visitor exactly how rotten the movement has become.

The rest of America is mortified. They should be. Because the whole world just watched MAGA do to the World Cup what it’s done to the country itself. Walk into something good, decent, and shared, and set it on fire just to feel warm.

Company greed is the reason why

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.

Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.

I just don’t get it.

"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.

It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.

Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
