If the governments job isn’t to secure even basic shit like clean drinking water for its citizens, what’s its actual purpose?! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUR TAXES PAYING FOR
They're letting Social Security fail because they refuse to scrap the cap and make the super-wealthy pay their fair share.
Letting Social Security become insolvent is a choice.
If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."
Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.
@JamieBonkiewicz This is why I say you should be skeptical of anyone who says a college degree is worthless and tries to discredit and defund public education.
Their kids are getting high quality education and better opportunities while yours get nothing and are worse off for it.
I simply cannot believe I live in a timeline where journalists helped force the last president out of his reelection campaign for being too old, so the country put an unstable 79 year old who falls asleep constantly in office and none of the same journalists care at all.
I just want to point out....
The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.
Louisiana’s GOP governor just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY to CANCEL an election.
Not for a storm — but to redraw maps so he can ERASE a historically Black district.
They’re not even hiding it. MAGA is rigging elections to silence YOU.
No amount of words can convey how far behind this country will be in every avenue for a number of years because of this administration and everyone associated with them with stuff like this happening.
@grablekelly05@BotheredBoy I’m always confused how people call social programs the problem and not the wages that prevent people from rising above poverty. It’s corporate greed that is lobbied for annually. You literally have the answers to the test and still don’t see it
You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters.
Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation.
NO.
We do not want these AI data centers. They are dumping nitrates into the water supply and turbo cancers and infertility are ramping up in places where they’ve been built. You need to be getting heavily involved in your state on this issue.
Trump wants another $500 billion for the military, on top of the $1 trillion we already spend.
He wants to pay for that by cutting health care, child care and other needs of the working class.
This is totally nuts. We need to invest in our people, not more bombs and guns.
BREAKING: NYC MAYOR MAMDANI ON IRAN WAR:
We are speaking about a war that has killed thousands of civilians.
We are spending tens of billions of dollars to kill people. Money that could be making life easier for working people.
The things we’re told are unrealistic would cost a fraction of this war.
We always seem to have money for war, but not to feed the poor.
