Lacking Key Qualifications

Whether it's time zones or taking the time to read the article, all my RTs are de facto ICYMI. Opinions my own, not wearing any of my hats on here.

Periodic reminder: In the USA, both "illegal immigration" and "border patrol" were invented 100 years ago in a fit of eugenicist bigotry known as the Johnson-Reed Act. https://t.co/nyAGHgnsAm

The smugness with which these billionaires delve into the semantics of their wealth is insufferable

Riley was killed by a driver yesterday while riding in a painted bike lane on Halsted in Bridgeport. My life was personally improved by some of the bike racks Riley installed despite never knowing him. Please drive safely & advocate for safer bike lanes. Paint is not protection.

The Epstein class are completely unrepentant monsters.

Me fascina que el sistema de EEUU promueva que a un millonario le salga más rentable pedir un préstamo y enriquecer al banco antes que pagar impuestos para que los niños puedan ir al colegio

I was told Susan Collins was a RINO and “not that bad” by neolibs

We should be able to stay home and recover when we’re sick. As wheelchair attendants, we work closely with elderly and passengers with disabilities.

Paid sick time helps protect both workers and travelers from the spread of illness!

People will freak out that teens are not social enough and then be like yeah this is a good idea

My tax code proposal is that if you’re in the bracket that says stuff like this then you get sent to Mars

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

Every US Democratic Presidency of my lifetime has devoted itself to taking the cruelties and aggressions of the previous Republican administration and building systems and institutions around them. Please excuse my lack of optimism and enthusiasm for the next one.

The people of Lebanon can't wait another month for Congress to act. Every day that we do nothing, 11 more Lebanese children are killed or injured by the Israeli military in this U.S.-supported invasion. Congress must pass today's Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

This failed 49-50. Three Republicans joined the Dems to vote for it, but one Dem didn't vote, eliminating the opportunity to put JD Vance firmly on the record supporting keeping the slush fund alive.
I mean is there a more Dem thing

“The most popular democratic elected official in America needs to be careful not to alienate elements of his party that enjoy support from a shrinking minority of wealthy and war hungry donors. They, like me, are real backbone of the Democratic Party. He better play ball!”

Per NPR, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff (who orchestrated suspension/attempted deportation of @MomodouTaal) reportedly hit a pro-Palestinian student with a car, then Cornell banned the student from campus for "restrict[ing]" the car's "ability to maneuver."

“How did we go from paper straws to data centres?”

Because no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.

right now evictions are at 10-year highs in parts of California because the feds are fucking up people’s benefits and kidnapping tenants who are family breadwinners. here is some doofus from the Atlantic to tell you why that’s good actually

@EricMGarcia It’s almost like having a clear message and ideology can save you from small scandals, while being vague and without a clear ideology results in no one feeling the need to defend you from stupid attacks.

Smotrich is under sanctions including travel bans by Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia and the UK.

Reportedly, the ICC prosecutor's office has requested a warrant for his arrest.

Why would anyone march alongside him?

[somewhat hopeful ou fan @adamlumly]

@haaretzcom @Etanetan23 Chuck Schumer marched alongside Smotrich, a man who has called for wiping out Palestinian villages, and this is somehow not the headline. The Senate Minority Leader chose this.
