“Poverty exists not because we cannot provide for the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich”

[Shawn Reynolds @ShawnReynolds_]

"It wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle with bullets... I'm a former police officer, a former Army officer. These M4s, AR-15s, they've got to get off the streets or this is going to keep happening" - Allen, TX mall shooting witness Steven Spainhouer tells @CapehartJ on @weekendcapehart

Is this what Republicans mean when they talk about the Second Amendment and “freedom”?

Risking your own death and the death of your children from semi-automatic gunfire at an outlet mall on a Saturday afternoon?

Is that “freedom”?

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.

This is fascism.

Expelling your political opponents for demanding action on gun violence when children are dying is disgusting.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

SEVENTY EIGHT. That’s the number of verified child sex-trafficking victims who were groomed and recruited out of Ron DeSantis’ state-run foster care in 2021.

ZERO. That’s how many were recruited from Drag shows.

Guess who’s being investigated. https://t.co/XeodO889qn

So when US airlines were stranded, they got taxpayer money to help them out but now when taxpayers are stranded, airlines don’t help but instead charge insane amounts to people who need to get home? Help me understand🤔

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Corporate greed is Southwest getting a $7 billion bailout during the pandemic & spending $5.6 billion on stock buybacks to enrich wealthy shareholders, while stranded passengers are threatened with jail time for the crime of trying to rebook canceled flights during the holidays.

@GretaThunberg This was the precise moment when #AndrewTate arrived at the intersections of Fucked Around Avenue, and Found Out Street.

this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Since 1988, Republicans have won the popular vote exactly one time, but have selected 6 of the last 9 SCOTUS Justices.

Expand the court or an antidemocratic minority will continue to control our laws & our bodies.

someone I went to high school with who “did their research” and won’t get the vaccine keeps sharing this

HOW IS THIS NOT A BIGGER NATIONAL STORY?????

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

This continues to be the most important thing happening.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Republicans tried to stop an investigation into the armed insurrection at the Capitol because they were afraid of hearing the devastating truth from people like Officer Michael Fanone. This is not about politics – this is about protecting our democracy.

[Rep. Andy Levin @RepAndyLevin]

Corporate money should be removed from our politics. Period.

From a gymnast friend regarding Simone Biles 🐐❤️

[Jacob Denhollander @JJ_Denhollander]

Simone Biles has been fighting USA Gymnastics & the US Olympic Committee for years now, trying to get some shred of accountability for her own abuse & the abuse of 100's of other little girls at the hands of Larry Nassar--and y'all have the nerve to say SHE let her COUNTRY down?
