The House passed a $768,000,000,000 defense budget last week.

just going to leave this here…

The super wealthy cheat the system by claiming "losses" on their taxes while adding billions to their net worth. Enough is enough. We need a #WealthTax to ensure the ultra-rich pay their fair share and to end these tax rigging schemes.

If your theology leads you to speak negatively about LGBTQ people, then your theology kills LGBTQ people.

This is DATA, not an opinion.

(cw: suicide)

With #InternationalYouthDay tomorrow, remember that LGBTQ+ youths who haven't heard their parents use religion to say negative things about LGBTQ people are half as likely to attempt suicide.

Affirmation is a matter of life and death.

To the billionaires…
instead of going to space, maybe just go skydiving, and spend your money ending extreme poverty.

Domestic partnerships: mostly interrupting your partner to force them to look at your shared pet. You do this as if it were an emergency. You do this with a raised voice and an unpleasant intensity. Pet looks the same as yesterday and five minutes ago. That doesn’t matter. Look.

Looks like someone forgot to switch back to their personal account 😂

The minimum wage would actually be $24/hr today if it kept pace with economic growth.

Apologies are good.
Forgiveness is good.

Not hurting someone in the first place is much, much better. 💔

Respectfully, when I say “The SBC” I do not mean a few awful leaders. I mean an organization that was created with the express purpose of preserving chattel slavery.

This ain’t a bad apples situation. It’s a bad tree situation. 1/4

My husband put lemon scented soap in the bathroom and how did I end up with someone who doesn’t know lemon soap only goes in the kitchen?

This thread is devastating.

This is the graveyard in Texas that we visited this week. It’s around the corner from the execution chamber. Folks who are executed or die in prison are buried here if their body isn’t claimed by their family. Many of the tombstones don’t even have a name, just a number.

The Bidens' tax returns show income of $607,336 in 2020, primarily from pensions, social security and Jill Biden’s engagements #WSJWhatsNow

The last thing we did tonight after the execution is tape off the entrance to the execution chamber... and call it what it is - a crime scene. On the death certificate for Quintin Jones, and all executed people, the “manner of death” is listed as “Homicide.”

1) Combined share of total US wealth held by everybody except the richest 10%, 1990-2020.

2) The share of US wealth held by *just* the top 1%, 1990-2020.

What it means: 10% of Americans control *70%* of national wealth. And the top 1% own more than the bottom 90% COMBINED.

Many of America’s safety-net hospitals — which take anyone who comes in — are in the red or barely making ends meet.

Meanwhile, wealthier hospitals have emerged from the pandemic with huge profits.
