"We can't take care of sick people or kids because we'd rather use the money on war" is a hell of a midterms pitch

[alodia @adoredIily]

typing in lowercase bc im against capitalism

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

"Male privilege isn't real because men get sent to war". Sent to war by other men. Specifically, by rich men.

That's an example of classism. In order for it to be misandry, it would have to be women sending men to war. Your anger should be aimed at capitalists, not feminists. Hope that helps.

For the first time in 70 years the UN broke from consensus for the global reaffirmation of women’s rights. 37 Nations in favor & 1 against. Of course that one against the reaffirmation of women’s rights was the United States because of language that included:

-diversity, equity & inclusion
-the effects of climate change on women
- regulations for AI
-the definition of gender
- the reproductive health rights of women&girls

Don’t ever try to tell me this administration cares about women & girls.

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh

"Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

Americans be like: death penalty is great and war is good and I deserve to have 10 guns but abortion is murder

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Can’t stop thinking about Jeff Bezos, worth $241 billion, sailing on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding while he fires 30,300 workers & attacks a 5% wealth tax on billionaires through the @washingtonpost that he bought for $250 million.

Democracy dies in oligarchy

[L E F T, PhD ⚫️ @LeftSentThis]

They’re committing crimes against humanity, to cover up crimes against humanity, to distract people from investigating their past crimes against humanity.

[Maryam @hell_line0]

Only 8% of the National Institute of Health budget goes to women’s health even though we are 51% of the population. That is medical misogyny.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.

Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.

Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.

And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.

Yes, this is oligarchy.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Draft dodger is willing to sacrifice working class kids. How charitable of him.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

We don’t want war. We want healthcare, a living wage and affordable housing.

[Zac Petkanas @Zac_Petkanas]

Expensive wars abroad.

High prices at home.

Must mean Republicans control all branches of government.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

This Trump–Netanyahu war is unconstitutional and violates international law.

It endangers the lives of U.S. troops and people across the region.

We’ve lived through the lies of Vietnam and Iraq.

No more endless wars. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution immediately.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

[The Saurus @TheSaurus831]

The “Kamala will send your sons to war” crowd lookin particularly stupid as fuck at the moment tbh
