The stupidest thing about the "elites!" narrative is virtually everyone pushing it is an elite themselves. We've got people making 100K+, people who went to the best schools, people who travel the world pretending they aren't elites to push a dumb narrative.

"So you have depression?"
"yes"
"Have you tried not?"
"what"
"Have you just tried not?"
"I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS YOU ARE A GENIUS PERSON"

Thank you, @united.

I think a good answer for "How will you pay for your agenda?" is "We're a very rich country. We'll figure it out."

"Hello! Do you have a minute to talk about Dracula?"
"No- wait, Dracula?"
"Yes!"
"You're vampires?"
"Yes. We have pamphlets."
"Vampires have missionaries?"
"Where else would new vampires come from?"
"I assumed you bit people."
"There are many hurtful stereotypes. May we come in?"

For generations, Black people on government assistance were called welfare queens, derided for taking "handouts," and "wasting taxpayer money." Will we see the same cultural sneering at white farmers who must take GOP funds to survive after the Trump tariffs?

Here’s the truth: Lynching is not already a federal hate crime.

Senators Booker, Scott, and I are trying to change that with the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act.

Libraries aren't just museums for books, people. Real life people come there for information on services to try to often save their lives. Info on doctors, domestic violence shelters, help to get jobs. Stop funding everything that rich folk want and leave libraries the fuck alone

Imagine bankrupting yourself to pay for your child’s insulin.

Imagine the pain, indignity and distress of not having an NHS.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

More than 2,000.

That’s the number of children between the ages of 5 and 17 who are still separated from their parents.

[ACLU Massachusetts @ACLU_Mass]

Same.

A grand total of 6 migrant children in ORR care were reunited this week. Yes, you read that right - we went from 2,053 to 2,047 separated children.
