WAIT WAIT WAIT...
So the Supreme Court basically ruled that ANYONE, from ANYWHERE, who came into the country by ANY MEANS...
...can have a baby in the United States and that baby is automatically an American citizen????
What are we even doing here?
That is obviously insane.
@EricMGarcia This is the division created by those who want to keep power instead of seeing it for what it is. They don't care about Jeffries being black, they care about him bowing down to AIPAC.
With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.
Americans crave lower taxes because they see no tangible benefit from that money. Much of it is funneled right back to wealthy corporatios. And on top of that they're also paying enormous fees, premiums, deductibles, out of pocket expenses, interest rates, mortgage etc.
@mcuban@elonmusk They also write the tax code too. Not directly but through pac and campaign funding, hiring lawyers and groups to lobby Congress, etc. It's one thing to get wealthy through capitalism, but they do it in a way that involves government corruption and protection simultaneously.
Hunter is finally able to tell his own story but also inspires others to keep moving forward. While the tough times we face often seem like a lifetime of pain and trauma, they can be a time in our lives to reflect, recover and redirect.
To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You wonβt.
You wonβt because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the cowardβs way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ainβt the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You wonβt.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
@rabbi1_1@PollTracker2024 "Literal Nazis" killed Alex Pretti & Renee Good in cold blood on the streets of Minneapolis, and they belong to the current American regime known as I.C.E.
@kevinnbass Funny how the party that won 2 of the last 3 presidential elections, controls the house and senate is somehow also the victim of a rigged system.
If Democrats can rig elections, theyβre doing a terrible job of it.
You people are mentally warped.
Welker: "Gas is up. Diesel is up."
Trump: "It's all coming down as soon as the war's over."
Welker: "70% of farmers say they can't afford fertilizer."
Trump: "The farmers are doing very well."
Welker: "What's your message to farmers?"
Trump: "All of them support me."
@HunterBiden finally has the chance to write his own story instead of letting everyone else tell it. So glad to see the entire spectrum of his humanity be revealed. He doesn't shy away from his past, but uses it to seek a better presence and future.
@BlueGeorgia He is clearly out of his league as a talk show host. Yes, he has been doing this for decades, but she has on the ground, real life experience and actual knowledge of what it takes to achieve meaningful progress beyond talking points and sound bites for an audience.
The same people lecturing us about Platner's checkered past, as he runs for U.S. Senator of a single state in the union, voted 3 times for a 34x convicted felon, with multiple bankruptices & is found in the Epstein files thousands of times, to be President of the entire country.
