Somehow governments didn’t spend all their covid money. Ppl don’t have housing. Saddled with medical debt. Food insecurity. Kids got lunch debt. Mogs still ain’t vaccinated. But “fund crime prevention and hire cops.” Cops, my nigga?!?
Shit is so upsetting man. You hate to see it.

Hint: If you oppose abortion rights,
which Jesus never mentioned,
because you are so deeply Christian;
but support the death penalty,
which Jesus directly opposed,
the rest of us are no longer obliged
to take your Christianity seriously.

Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

hi kids! it's me, your favorite sexagenarian here to tell you that when I was a kid we taxed the shit out of the wealthy and not only did we have money to build bridges and schools and moon rockets, rich people still had plenty of money left over to spend on rich people bullshit

[Michelle Miller @michelleimiller]

I’m somewhat loath to get so personal but I feel like I need to tell this story. My mother died in December 2020 with what I believed at the time to be $40k in student loan debt.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Explain why cancelling $1,900,000,000,000 in student debt is a “handout”, but a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for rich people was a “stimulus”.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Workers pay: your taxes are automatically taken out of your paycheck

CEO pay: you'll get stock that you can hold tax-free that you can borrow against to get easy cash, and if you sell it, it's taxed at a lower rate

Guess who funds the people who write the tax code

Insurance companies hate therapists.

Here’s what most people don’t know therapists put up with to accept insurance (and how clients pay the price) 🧵

[Praxis Makes Perfect @AlexPleskach1]

Thinking about the time in 1928 when the LAPD couldn’t find a missing child, publicly “reunited” the mother with some random kid to save face, and then institutionalized the mother when she tried to tell people it wasn’t her son rather than admit their mistake

[Jonah Furman @JonahFurman]

I tried the online therapy “better health” and ended up paying almost $700 and having a single “therapy” session that was the worst therapy experience of my life (I have had many). Now I keep getting ads for them, so this is me doing my part to forewarn others. Bad system!

[Michelle Cyca @michellecyca]

my parents bought their house in 1976 for $58,000. in 2022 dollars, that would be $279,160.

their 2022 assessment valued the house at $2.09 million.

i don't think getting married at 34 instead of 24 is the reason my generation can't buy homes. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

idk, Western media people kinda being a little bit racist right now 😳 (a thread)

[Geraldine Just Follow TheEverywhereist on Threads @everywhereist]

My doctor and I were discussing my anxiety and she said "Brains are made to keep us alive. They're not made to keep us happy." And I can't stop thinking about that.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Suspicious how everyone blames the rising cost of a burrito on workers getting a $1 raise but not the fact that CEO pay has gone up 1,322% in the last 43 years.

Last year Chipotle gave its CEO a $24 million raise and paid him 2,898x more than their median employee.

CDC, 2020: wash your groceries

CDC, 2022: you can cough in someone’s mouth if your boss says it’s okay
