The lobbying industry made $3.7 billion in revenue last year.

With lobbyists becoming more powerful than ever, we need to get big money out of government. https://t.co/cj4FM7Vvzo via @washingtonpost @jocwapo @anu_narayan

Should @BarackObama be the 2024 Democratic (@DNC) Party Vice President #VP candidate, under #President candidate @KamalaHarris?
(Note: Per the #22ndAmendment of the #USConstitution, this is totally acceptable.) 😉

THIS is what punk is about…

A year ago we wrote a song and named it after a govenor in Tennessee who was trying to pass laws banning drag shows / affecting gender affirming care. We called out several govenors by name in the song to spread awareness.

If helping students with debt is “buying votes”, then surely giving tax cuts to the wealthy is also “buying votes”. Right?

For the past couple of years, when a #StarWars fanatic says annoying and distracting shit like #MayThe4th,
I would confuse and remind them by replying about that tragic event @KentState 🎵 4 dead in #Ohio 🎵 (massacre)

Last I checked, marriage is still a big thing and so is having children.

Blaming your own skill issues on sex workers and non-white people is pathetic.

Paul Alexander is one of the last people living in an iron lung after he contracted polio in 1952 at the age of six. He has been using the iron lung for over 70 years and has become an advocate for polio awareness and the importance of vaccines.

The iron lung, also known as a negative pressure ventilator, is a large horizontal cylinder designed to stimulate breathing in patients who have lost control of their respiratory muscles. The patient's head is exposed outside the cylinder, while the body is sealed inside. Air pressure inside the cylinder is cycled to facilitate inhalation and exhalation.

In the mid-20th century, iron lungs were widely used to treat patients with polio, a highly contagious viral disease that can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. However, with the development of the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 1960s, the incidence of polio decreased dramatically, and the use of iron lungs became less common.

Today, there are only a handful of people in the world who still rely on iron lungs for their survival. Paul Alexander is one of them, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of vaccination and the impact that polio has had on the lives of many people.

Some may be like this, but others are people like me. People who embraced the "vaxx and relax" strategy and have been left disabled (perhaps permanently) because of it. In the summer of 2021, after I had my two vaccine shots, I threw away my mask and started going to bars again

This is me and my brother Alex. We were born in Soviet Ukraine to a Jewish family during the height of the Cold War.

As little kids, we could have NEVER imagined one of us would be in a position to hear the President of the United States (Trump) attempt to extort our ally, Ukraine.

This year, the world saw the worst from Texas.

❌ Extreme abortion bans
❌ Ken Paxton’s acquittal
❌ Private school voucher scams

And all of it can be traced back to two billionaires from West Texas…

[Eric Umansky @ericuman]

I want to tell you a story about body cameras and *Derek Chauvin*

What Chauvin did to George Floyd, kneeling on his neck, was his move.

He had done to others.

It was all recorded by body cams.

But the footage was kept secret.

And Chauvin was left unpunished

It's absurd that people are traveling to COP28 by private jet.
