The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.
Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.
No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.
That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.
You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.
But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.
The ACA protects folks with pre-existing conditions from being denied coverage, allows young people to stay on a parent's plan until they’re 26, and expands Medicaid. But Donald Trump still wants to end it – and he only has “concepts of a plan” for how he’d replace it.
We can’t let that happen. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz to not only protect your health care, but to make it more affordable for everyone.
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
The Supreme Court had all male justices for 192 years until 1981. So to balance that out, and in the interest of fairness, I think it should be nine women for the next 192 years.
What we witnessed last night was a master class in dealing with a malignant narcissist.
Harris expertly laid traps for Trump in the middle of every one of her answers, then she sat back and watched him self-immolate on national television.
It was beautiful to watch.
