@duzer I hope you budgeted for beans.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The actual crisis is how entire generations are sunk w/inhumane levels of student debt, low incomes, high rent, no guarantee of healthcare & little action on climate change which creates a situation where feeling stable enough to have a kid can feel more like a luxury than a norm

Responsabilizamos a este gobierno Genocida y mafia criminal de lo que le pueda pasar a nuestras hermanas Jennifer Solorzano y Marianela Solorzano a quienes las tienen detenidas arbitrariamente en la posta policial de Tocoa. Estamos en alerta¡¡ No son delicuentes, son defensoras¡¡

Dude. It's not surprising, but it is. Or it is, but it's not. But it's not acceptable. Quit testing the forbearance of the people who are going to be canvassing on behalf of your 50-50 Senate tie.
