Need help building back my account. Looking for my old friends and to make new ones. Progressive Dem looking for likeminded friends. Hoping the algorithm sends me some new followers. 💙💙💙
This! Exactly this. WTAF am I paying money each paycheck for if it isn’t going to benefit society as a whole? I will never understand how people are ok with taxes not benefiting us!
I will never understand how so many of y'all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money YOU PAY IN TAXES to create a social safety net that benefits YOU.
So we can’t let people have “junk food” if they’re on food assistance while simultaneously slashing the funding for fruits and vegetables. Republicans are beyond evil and the cruelty has always been the point.
If AOC does end up being the Democratic nominee we need to have the “vote blue no matter who” mentality on max. I don’t want to hear any bs about needing her in the senate or she’s a woman or her policies are too left or her age or anything. Just vote.
This is absolutely unconscionable that people have to do things like this to receive healthcare. Fuck anyone who doesn’t want this country to have healthcare for all,
This man robbed a bank for $1, sat down and waited for the police, just to get free healthcare in prison
In 2011 a man named Richard James Verone walked into a RBC Bank in Gastonia, North Carolina
Handed the teller a note demanding $1
One dollar
Then sat down in the lobby and waited calmly for police to arrive
He was 59. No job. No insurance. A growth on his chest. Two ruptured discs.
Calculated that a federal conviction would guarantee him full medical coverage inside prison
The judge sentenced him to 3 years
He got the surgery
He got the treatment
He told reporters on the way out he had no regrets
A 59 year old American man robbed a bank for $1 because it was cheaper than seeing a doctor
The Senate is now on recess until June.

So let me see if I understand what’s going on. We can’t get student loan forgiveness, but insurrectionist forgiveness is perfectly ok? I fucking hate this timeline.
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: If Democrats win the 2026 midterms, they plan to pass a bill called the Alex Pretti Act that will end qualified immunity for ICE agents, allowing them to be sued or jailed for wrongdoing
Ummm what is this I’m seeing about people asking if you’d vote for Tucker Carlson over AOC? This has to be a joke. I’d walk over a path of legos sprinkled with broken glass to vote AOC over gd Tucker Carlson. Just ewww
Speaker Mike Johnson argues Congress should get to keep engaging in insider trading because they don’t make enough to feed their families.
The average net worth of a Congress member is $8 million, which is 116 times that of the average American.
You don’t hate Congress enough.
“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.”
- House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on lawmakers trading stocks.
lol I guess the account I was Quote Tweeting is a fake account. Sounds just like something a Republican law maker would say, so easy to mistake for real. 🤷♀️
I just can’t. “Don’t even make 200K.” “Working nearly 140 days.” Teachers work 180 days a year and get shit constantly for having so much time off. Where’s the outrage for politicians working 140 days with an almost $200K annual salary (taxpayer funded).

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
