y’all have no respect for the ppl who make your life easier. the person making your morning coffee deserves a livable wage. the person stocking the groceries you buy deserves a livable wage. the person cleaning the restrooms in the office you work at deserves a livable wage.
De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.
I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.
I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.
I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.
I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.
And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors - instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.
Person who has an elevator that goes directly into the living room of their NYC apartment:
Israel must exist as an ethnostate because nowhere is safe for me i am a uniquely oppressed person
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
New York City just made history. 🗽
Proud of my friend @EdwinRaymondNYC 🙏🏾
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Edwin Raymond, former NYPD Lieutenant, whistleblower, and author of An Inconvenient Cop, as the new Sheriff of New York City.
Edwin Raymond didn’t just survive the system. He fought it from the inside. He led the largest civil rights lawsuit in NYPD history challenging illegal arrest quotas. He exposed racial profiling when it was career suicide to do so. And he wrote the book — literally — on what real accountability in policing looks like.
Now he’s running the office.
This is what it looks like when a mayor chooses justice over politics. Mayor Mamdani called him “principled, courageous and deeply committed to justice” and the record backs every word of that.
The city is watching. The country is watching. And for once, the right person is in the room. 👊🏾

This is an official government account in a democracy.
This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.
I posted these last year and had a thousand chuds in the comments calling me slurs and saying that they would never touch national parks. I’d like to take this moment to say: fuck you.
