If Bernie’s Social Security bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would’ve paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would’ve gone up by $2,400 & 93% would’ve paid $0 more in taxes.
Instead, they want you to work till you drop dead.
the crew cried as they became the furthest people from earth, they named the Integrity crater after one of the astronaut’s deceased wife. i love humanity, i love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. we name that crater after the spaceship craft that carried them so far. something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.
The shutdown is 45 days old. Over 500 TSA agents have quit. Trump had to sign an emergency executive order to pay the ones who stayed.
Every Republican senator voted for the bipartisan solution on March 27. Mike Johnson rejected it hours later. The House passed a bill Senate Democrats immediately declared dead. Both chambers are now on recess for two weeks.
ICE is fully funded — $75 billion for four years from the Big Beautiful Bill. It was never shut down. The "Democrats refusing to fund ICE" framing describes a situation where ICE has its own dedicated four-year funding stream specifically designed so this standoff could not touch it.
The shutdown began because two American citizens were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in January. The White House press secretary's answer to that is that Democrats want murderers in your communities. That is the distance between what happened and what is being said about it.
14 years ago today, Odd Future (@ofwgkta) dropped "Oldie"—one of their most iconic videos that almost didn't happen. It only did because @tylerthecreator refused to let anyone turn the camera off.
The members of the group told the story of that day in an oral history published by The Ringer in 2022. When Odd Future descended on Milk Studios in Chelsea, the session unraveled fast. The XXL staff "were understandably trying to contain a group of rowdy kids," Mike G recalled, "but we weren't having it."
Someone plugged in an iPhone, "Oldie" came through the speakers, and director Lance Bangs kept his camera rolling over objections from the room. The moment Tyler realized what was happening, he called the shots: "No, f*ck that, Lance, keep shooting this sh*t.” What followed was a single, unedited take of the entire 10-minute posse cut performed live.
For @earlxsweat, freshly back from Samoa and still finding his footing, the whole day had a surreal quality: "It just felt like a cartoon, in the sense that n****s just was doin' whatever they wanted to do." For Tyler, zooming out in real time, the stakes were clearer: “I’ve seen music documentaries, this might be the last time everyone's together so we need to document this."
He was right. "A f*ckin' balloon popped that night, and we all went in our own directions. That was the last time we was all together like that. Still,” Tyler explained. Frank, looking back, arrived at the same place: "The atmosphere reminds me of how it feels to be in a room full of musicians where everyone is improvising and for a brief period it's pure magic. It's the same rush."
Bangs edited the footage on a laptop during a red-eye to Portland. It now sits at over 56 million views. It cost nothing.
the concept of the women’s team getting to go party in vegas with flavor flav while the men attend a boring speech that could potentially damage their careers is very pleasing to me
🚨 BREAKING: The “No-Go-Zone” in Minneapolis is getting fully stocked like a pop-up leftist supply depot, free hand warmers, winter gear, coffee, food, milk, you name it.
This is PROFESSIONAL-grade logistics. Someone is BANKROLLING this autonomous zone.
And somehow, forcing billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes is seen as more radical than letting millions of people die unnecessarily due to poverty each year.
Holy hell. For the love of everything American I’m going to take a deep breath and respond to this absolute dribble.
I pay taxes. YOU pay taxes. WE pay taxes.
The idea that American tax dollars should go towards the improvement of American lives is NOT socialism.
I have not ONCE advocated for the government to assume control of the means of production and equally spread those resources amongst the populace.
THAT is socialism.
FFS I am literally advocating for tax levels to be where they were before Reagan came in with his trickle down bull SHIT and gutted the working class.
The billionaires are NOTHING without us. They leverage our resources, our energy, our labor and our LIVES.
Not ONCE have I asked for or advocated for an equal distribution of wealth.
On God, we are just SICK of giving every single thing we have to offer to the oligarchs and going bankrupt with a single cancer diagnosis.
We pay everything and get NOTHING.
The dam is breaking. And comments like THIS only serve as a reminder that propaganda WORKS.
