@DrLeoMarvin5 @1312FAS You can safely ignore this person. They believe that the president controls the price of gas.

@LustrousLynx @healey793 @NotOneNotTwo @SmelOdiesOG @eclecticbrotha Taxation isn't going to solve the problem, this level of wealth shouldn't exist in the first place. It's incompatible with democracy.

The rich absolutely want a tax because they pay people a lot of money to get out of it and it means there's no change in what they pay people.

@SmelOdiesOG @LustrousLynx @eclecticbrotha Get rid of them?

"a superyacht with a permanent crew, helicopter pad, submarines and pools emits about 7,020 tons of CO2 a year, according to our calculations, making it by the far worst asset to own from an environmental standpoint."

@IAmPoliticsGirl This happens through technology in the US. Both Bush and Obama established an invasive surveillance state.

The highly dangerous surveillance EARN IT act is being considered and is co-sponsored by 11Rs and 10Ds. You don't need "MAGA" for this.

@master_deli The irony in this is the reporting he's done on the US govt and their power of impacting human rights, sanctity of life, and indiv. liberties, the extent of which is much more powerful than the rest of the world.

Can you source this blog post for context? I'm unable to find it.

@HarrisH30894075 I wouldn't say that's something that NPR struggles with.

[le rouge et noir @EminentReaction]

NPR affiliate reports on gas prices. The only person they interview is a liberal who is happy to pay more in "solidarity" with Ukraine.

No talk of the working class that struggle with wages, inflation, and not being able to afford to drive in a country with poor mass transit.

@What46HasDone Definitely a Republican response, but who can tell anymore?

Just a reminder to take regular long healthy breaks from this goddamn website.

@min_swailes @prageru You write like someone is charging you to use punctuation.

@TheDemocrats Everyone is laughing at this BS tweet but what is most depressing is that this is the best thing you all could come up with post-Trump.

You literally deserve every loss you've earned. I am more depressed under Biden than I ever was under Trump.

If having access to a method of suicide increases the rate of suicide, you don't have a gun problem, you have a suicide problem.

Thanks to a white liberal at NPR, readers won't be burdened with the uncomfortable truth that POC suicides deserve attention without this distraction.

[NPR @NPR]

More Black Americans are buying guns. At the same time, suicide rates have increased among young black men.

Experts believe the trends may be linked, because having a gun in the home increases suicide risk exponentially.

@NPR Anyone think to ask why POC are killing themselves at increasing rates?

A correlation between gun ownership and suicide while ignoring the root causes of these problems allows people to be ignorant to pain people experience. As if gun control will stop people from suffering.

Affordable for whom?

1 out of every 5 homes are being purchased by investment banks over asking price. They're not being resold, they're being held and rented for long term profits while being managed by companies that abuse their tenants.

This is going to get way, way worse.

[CNN @CNN]

Across the US rent is rising so fast that in many cities buying has become more affordable than renting, even with sky-high home sale prices https://t.co/NQhfxgSoYi

@BrandonTozzo Well, they pretend to hate the government.

@nprpolitics This is what fascism looks like.

Whether you own a gun or not, consider learning first aid and emergency preparedness. Armed defense is not the only focus. Being able to help yourself and those around you is as important as being able to defend yourself and those around you.
