Today is the anniversary of the day I had to euthanize my yellow lab Sammy in 2023. His abdomen was incredibly distended and he wasn't keeping food down anymore. He was about a year old when I discovered him as a stray in 2011.
If you've ever held a blue collar job in the real world, you know that the US Government isn't always the greater villain. The feds aren't tacking an extra 10-20 hours onto my work week.
@CptAncapistan@ComicDaveSmith Factories themselves can be much more oppressive than government. I run a brake press and I already despise every extra block of overtime. I can't imagine government not regulating factory conditions. Government isn't always the greater villain.
I will be voting blue down my entire ballot in November for the first time. And for the foreseeable future. War against Iran, supporting a genocidal regime, and the murder of US citizens by ICE are completely unacceptable. Republicans are a menace.
The joke of libertarianism is that you need an authoritarian to accomplish libertarian goals in the executive branch. But authority has it's own gravity and it is self-perpetuating.
I am nostalgic for almost every previous Democratic Presidential Administration throughout my lifetime. Biden, Obama, and Clinton. While simultaneously I would never rewind to Trump I, W Bush, Bush Sr, or Reagan. Republicans bring CATASTROPHE.
@MsWinterrrr I am recently moving left after the catastrophe that is the second Trump term. From libertarianism. Voting Democrat is the only explicit and viable rejection of GOP politics. Republicans must be opposed at every opportunity. Down the entire ballot.
Five things Democrats will do in January when we win back the House:
✅ Increase the minimum wage
✅ Pass paid family leave
✅ End the war in Iran
✅ Hold a vote on Medicare for All
✅ Tax the billionaires
@hasanthehun It's almost like the Right doesn't believe in Free Speech. Trump's been acting the part of strongman and he's made zero headway. But somehow one Twitch streamer's going to ignite the Communist Revolution. Give me a break.
The family of a pregnant woman who died sued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday, claiming she was denied an abortion that could have saved her life. https://t.co/UAjazU650e
15 years ago, if you did the responsible thing & bought $10,000 of 'risk-free' long-term Treasuries, you'd have $11,072 today.
If instead you spent $9,995 on drugs & $5 on bitcoin, you'd have $42,778 today.
Breaking news: The Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion sale of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, the largest single sale of the controversial munitions in recent years, a U.S. official told The Post. https://t.co/OBZqGeTtgw
