Looks like Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC wants to tell a story about plastic restraints, nooses, and what happened January 6, 2021...
Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves. Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?
Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.”
“Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted.
“Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?
Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added.
Let’s get this straight:
The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals.
So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask
mega billionaires to pay more.
The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change.
News flash: If you outlaw abortions, stop people from voting, ban discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms, and criminalize providing gender affirming care for trans youth, you're not the party of "limited government."
This is not unpleasant, this is unbearable. We need mass-turnout, nonviolent direct uprisings to resist this.
On 4/29 we will blockade the White House Correspondents Dinner.
The President will be there. And so will we.

Hey @elonmusk, right-wing trolls are mass reporting popular left-wing pages like @chadloder and @VPS_reports who bring a lot to the table with their content. If this continues, I don't see Twitter lasting.
They both deserve to be reinstated ASAP.
SCOOP: Twitter's sudden layoffs don't just have an impact on your employment. Staff who were partway through IVF treatment funded by the company now have difficult decisions to make. My latest for @WIRED https://t.co/kpcWrsm4dT
He's not hiding it folks, and it's not just Elon flailing. There is a political agenda being pursued, not just GOP vs Dem but broadly including shutting down journalists and activists who might challenge the billionaires.
That and normalizing the alt-right
The PROBLEM is that drag and gender non-conformity and queerness oppose patriarchy. When gender norms are cast aside, when women are free to make their own choices, when people love each other outside the confines of heterosexuality — THAT is the problem. It’s not about the kids.
