Brother that is Freddie Mercury who was a gay immigrant performing at LIVE AID, a historic concert that raised over $100 million to fight the famine in Ethiopia because governments weren’t doing anything. His existence was pushing back against homophobia and other kinds of bigotry. It’s one of the reasons Queen stuck out as much as they did. He was not afraid of being himself publicly.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

I think Americans would rather have affordable groceries and health care.

[The Pink King @DayalSami]

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

If you criticize 2.9% inflation under Biden but think 4.2% inflation under trump is no big deal you are in a cult.

[Praise @tufpraise]

meanwhile the government is protecting actual pedophiles but y’all still going on about drag queens.

REALITY STILL EXISTS

Here's the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his "rigged election" lies, and concluding with him calling her "crooked or stupid" and leaving

FUN FACT: If you've ever used a porta-potty you've been in a gender neutral bathroom.
Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

[🦅 @JayZ0verrat3d]

after all them years of calling dude sleepy joe is CRAZY

[Seth @fiercepatricks]

Friendly reminder that Pride isn't about turning your straight kids into gay kids. It's about not turning gay kids into dead kids.

PEOPLE ARE FINALLY WAKING UP

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Run the math on the lunch and it falls apart in about ten seconds.

A $28 lunch every working day is roughly $7,000 a year. That is the entire prize for never eating out again.

Now look at what actually moved. The median US home went from $321,500 in 2019 to about $420,300 in 2024. That is nearly $99,000 in five years, close to $20,000 a year. A Gen Z worker who banks every single lunch saves $7,000 while the house they are chasing gets $20,000 more expensive in the same twelve months.

You can do everything Kevin says and still lose ground.

Zoom out and it gets worse. Since 1980 home prices are up 551% and incomes are up 373%. The price-to-income ratio went from 3.65 to over 5. The distance between what a salary buys and what a house costs is the whole story, and no amount of skipped sandwiches closes a gap that compounds faster than anyone can save.

The lunch was never the variable.

The math gets funnier when you check who is giving the lecture. Kevin took just under $15 million to be the face of FTX, put around $9.7 million of it into crypto that went to zero, and held a $1 million stake that also went to zero. The man telling 23-year-olds that lunch is why they stay poor lit more money on fire in one bad bet than most of them will earn in a lifetime.

A $28 plate of ham and cheese was not the problem.

He did this without cutting any social services,btw.

@SlayerfanJ9569 @JamieBonkiewicz Y’all don’t actually give a fuck about military members be so fr. Pete Hegseth literally called it “fake news” when sailors were starving on deployment. That’s not fake. It’s happening. Y’all are too busy crying about gay people that don’t bother you to do anything about it

[Joe @electionsjoe]

I love how the world is in chaos and NYC gets the sunshine and rainbows subplot.
