Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.

They are never going to give you $9,000 to stay home with your kids. Just like you never got your DOGE check, tariff refund, cheaper groceries, $2 gas, a healthcare plan, or 600% off prescriptions.

At some point, being this gullible becomes a fucking choice.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

This is misleading. What the report actually says is that we must — AND CAN — limit the worst damage by stopping warming fast and declining it to below 1.5°C.

Don't fall for doomer headlines. We can win a livable future, and it's a disgrace that our leaders aren't acting.

Your move @JDVance.
Do it. You won't.

WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.

It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.

It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.

It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.

That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.

You want a higher birth rate now?

Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.

That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.

My boomer dad asked me last week why I'm still renting at 43.

I told him a starter home in our area is $410,000.

He said "so save up."

I said the down payment alone is $82,000.

He said "that's not so bad, break it into pieces."

I said after rent, insurance, and daycare I put away maybe $400 a month.

He did the math out loud. Got to seventeen years. Went quiet.

Then he said something I didn't expect.

"I put down $3,200 on our first place. I had it saved in eight months working at the plant."

Then he just sat there for a second.

"I always thought you kids were exaggerating."

That's it. That's the whole conversation.

He wasn't being cruel. He genuinely had no idea. Nobody ever showed him the number.

Most of them aren't defending the system. They just never looked at it.

The trans athlete debate is one of the biggest political distractions of our generation. The NCAA president testified that there are fewer than 10 openly transgender athletes out of 510k NCAA athletes. Yet this small issue dominates headlines.

@ChicagoJewAlly @BernieSanders Does this seem corrupt to you?

This is the moderate position. This pledge should be a litmus test for every single candidate in 2026 and beyond.

[Tayoncé Defense Attorney Cleveland Apologist @lesbeyonsay]

the fact that she's given so much and has not run out of money really puts into perspective how the arguments against a wealth tax on billionaires are just bs

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Won’t regulate AI and sides with the Epstein billionaire class as opposed to the people in CA struggling with the skyrocketing costs of health care. The billionaire tax is going to his desk and he is planning to veto it. Same as he did with AI regs and the AI safety kill switch, same with PFAS “forever chemical” cookware. Anything for the corporate class. We are over this. We want people that are willing to take up the fight. Fighters not folders. Learn from Mamdani, Gavin.

The left has some good ideas, but they can't win elections outside small deep-blue districts. Okay, they can defeat a political dynasty in a mayoral primary, but they'll never get a mandate in a city-wide election. Sure, they got a mandate, but that's in New York City. It's not like they'll win in the New Jersey suburbs. Looks like the left won in the New Jersey suburbs, but they can't win state-wide races in purple states. Okay, they defeated the sitting Maine governor, but it's not like they can win...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In a world wounded by arrogance, people hunger and thirst for justice. We must encourage those who believe in peace and dare to engage in “countercurrent” politics, which focus on the common good. What is urgently needed is the courage of new visions and an educational pact that gives young people space and trust. #ApostolicJourney #EquatorialGuinea https://t.co/81zzJos7Ij

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than:

Walt Disney
Citigroup
CVS
Kohl's
Ticketmaster
Tesla
United Airlines
GoDaddy
Paypal
Palantir
Roku
HP
3M
PG&E
Halliburton

That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.

it actually sickens me that the white house obsessed with nintendo IPs and that nintendo is silent for the first time ever when their IPs is being constantly used to promote MAGA propaganda

Every imagined threat about socialism is modeled after real things that happened under capitalism

[Holly Figueroa O'Reilly @AynRandPaulRyan]

Holy…Listen to every word. This is exactly right. White men: start handling your boys.
