In fact the consultants who worked for Swalwell immediately genie blinked to Becerra, and will now continue to advise the governor in the nation's largest state, as they have for the last 8 years
I feel this but I also do think that at some point we'll all have to realize that if the previous model of adulthood is obsolete then the only way forward is to create a new one. Let's all live etc
If ALL American taxes added up to $1, statistically, about 45 cents of that dollar is going to BOOMERS. The most selfish generation to ever exist. They solely lobby for and look out for themselves
I know the Aspiration stuff is gonna get all the attention, but when Adam Silver meets with the media in a week, someone needs to ask him if believes it's okay for the owner of an NBA team to be keeping a registry of his fans' sexualities, because this is just demented stuff.

Remember when the show 'Watchmen' came out and white people lost their fucking minds because the show was historically accurate of the massacre in Tulsa? I use that as an example of how white people don't know black people as well as black people know white people.
feel like this race isn’t getting nearly enough attention considering how massive of a win it would be for the left narratively. Would be an incredible L if AIPAC spending $15,000,000 to take her out in 2024 only kept her out of Congress for 2 years
Put 3 kids thru college w/ a blue collar job. Worked dawn to dusk, building homes. Loved his wife of 30yrs & John Deere. Lived here longer than I've been alive
