Dolly's family asked in lieu of flowers, please donate to her Imagination Library. I just donated $80 in honor of the 80 years she was on this earth. Please donate what you can. I can't believe she's gone. 😭😭😭

I genuinely don’t get the endgame. If the plan ends with a ruined planet, collapsed economies, and no working class left to spend money… what are billionaires actually hoarding wealth for? To sit in a bunker with numbers on a screen that don't mean anything anymore? What is the actual point? 😭
“She’ll die alone with cats” is such a fascinating threat.
You’re telling a woman that if she refuses a relationship she doesn’t want, the punishment is... peace, pets, and nobody asking what’s for dinner?
i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
I’ll NEVER understand how so many of y’all were hoodwinked into the belief that the government should NOT use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.
Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life.
And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65."
And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me."
And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck."
That's the U.S. government.
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
I will never understand how so many of y'all were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money YOU PAY IN TAXES to create a social safety net that benefits YOU.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
