politics and veganism

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The kids are alright 😉

Insulin was invented ~100 years ago, and its patent sold for $1.

“Do you know the reason why [insulin is] $1,000 with insurance?” ~@AOC

There is no reason for insulin to cost $21 in Canada for a 10 ml bottle, while it costs a mortgage payment in the US.

“If we want to talk about Planned Parenthood, let’s talk about how many lives PP has saved & how many babies have been born because of the prenatal care provide by PP. If you don’t believe it & you’ve never met a PP baby, I am happy to let you know that I am one.” - @AOC 💖🙏🏽

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Let’s do insulin next

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

The Republican Party, in two tweets.

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

Trump got the vaccine but didn't want you to know. He didn't want you to believe it was safe.

His persona is more important to him than your life.

It's all an act.

[brighter days ☁️ @tyrathetaurus]

just a reminder that most vegans and vegetarians are making $30,000 or less a year. there is no required income to be vegan. vegans come from all different incomes and majority of them are poor.

an 11-year-old boy froze to death in Texas last week while trying to keep his 3-year-old brother warm

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Bernie announces his next move: An amendment to take tax deductions away from large corporations that don't pay above $15-an-hour wages. Wants it IN the reconciliation bill

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today, I asked the CEOs of Walmart and McDonald's a simple question: Why should taxpayers subsidize the starvation wages of their profitable corporations. If they think they can avoid answering this question because they declined to testify at my hearing they are sorely mistaken.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Jeff Sessions was so openly racist that even Reagan couldn’t appoint him.

Manchin voted to confirm him. Sessions then targeted immigrant children for wide-scale human rights abuses w/ family separation.

Yet the 1st Native woman to be Cabinet Sec is where Manchin finds unease?

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.

[Chelsea Handler @chelseahandler]

If you’re wondering how far Ted Cruz will go to prove he’s an asshole, it’s 1,800 miles.

[Zoe Tillman @ZoeTillman]

New: Rep. Bennie Thompson filed a lawsuit in federal court today against Trump, Giuliani, the Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers alleging they conspired to interfere with Congress's certification of the election, in violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act https://t.co/suhMsNVyii

[Ky Krebs @kykrebs]

Austin had the hottest Feb 6th since 1954 and the coldest Feb 14th since the 1970s within 8 days of each other, but whatever the earth is fine, keep on frackin or whatever

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

“Back the Blue” Senators voted to acquit the former president after they helped incite a white supremacist insurrection that left police officers dead.

It was never about “Blue Lives” mattering. It was just about making sure Black lives don’t.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Tucker Carlson needs to go the way of Lou Dobbs and Mike Lindell.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

I don't wanna hear a goddamn thing about "unity" or "bipartisanship" while Republicans are refusing to hold Marjorie Taylor Greene accountable and blocking Merrick Garland from being considered for Attorney General. This is beyond ridiculous. Reject their terrible framing.

[Jason S. Campbell @JasonSCampbell]

Newsmax invites Mike Lindell, who advocated for a coup and spews dangerous conspiracy theories, on air. It didn't go well.
