Me: "But here is 2.8 billion dollars that could be spent at home."
Abdul El-Sayed: "I'll tell you exactly where I'd spend it... Detroit Public Schools... do you know how much more they would have to spend to get to a level where every school is safe, clean, and dry? 1.7 billion dollars.

El-Sayed: "Those 2,000-pound bombs are never going to save a child."

Hill: And it's tough to have any level of empathy for these people because I'm looking at this coffee cup, I'm looking over here and you know what I'm fresh out of?
She’s smirking the whole time because she enjoys the cruelty. But just like Milo she’d be crying if it ever happened to her. People can’t go back to places that they’re going to be murdered and they shouldn’t have to.
McGowan: It’s like when you play monopoly and somebody has all of the hotels on the whole board, and it doesn't matter if you're playing the game right, it doesn't matter if you're doing what you're supposed to do, it doesn't matter if you get the education, if you get the job, you are still always going to lose. That is where we are in America right now, and that is not how we should want to be. And I'm saying capitalism is a wonderful system if it is working, it is not currently working for the American people.
Incredible how right-wing ideology always just boils down to the sociopathic inability to empathize with other people. Just small-minded assholes incapable of ever thinking about anyone but themselves
I laugh until I cry almost every time I see somebody say “this isn’t what I voted for.” But they say it with the conviction as if it caught them out of nowhere and they had no warning.
