@davidsirota The 2009 speech by Obama regarding bailing out the banks and telling Main Street that their desire to be bailed out was dumb because of the "velocity of money" and the banks would know better what to do with it, was another key point along this path toward Trump Part Deux.
@DanaBashCNN@CNNSOTU@DavidChalian This is a lie. You're referring to a story I wrote for @metrotimes, and U.S. Rep. Tlaib never said what you're saying she said. Never. Here's a fact check: https://t.co/oArrZXsd3Z.
@halalflow@ryangrim My favorite bit of this entire segment is how he starts out talking about how saying racist things doesn't mean you're a racist and then proceeds to basically argue that Haiti is bad off because black people can't run a country without saying it outloud. Grim slaps him around.
@ninaturner This is just more imperialist gaslighting. Reciting the same shit we've heard forever. Trying to convince us that the US is a bystander and we have to wait for someone else to affect meaningful change.
When we say abortion bans are deadly, this is exactly what we mean.
Amber deserved better 💔 Our country deserves better than anti-abortion extremists endangering people’s lives.
NYPD shot 4 people, including one of their own officers, over a $2.90 fare evasion. They shot at someone over $2.90. This is what we mean when we say police protect property (wealth), not people.
@democracyatwrk@profwolff@DrHarrietFraad@YouTube I forget who said it, "The arsonists stand outside the burning building they set ablaze and tell us they're the best people to fight the fire."
@Snowden Is it blowback if a political party cozies up to Q-Anon/Conspiracy Theorists/White Nationalists and those same folks tip over the edge and try some crazy shit?
Health insurance CEOs must be so incredibly psyched that everyone is singularly focused on cat roasting lies, rather than on the health care crisis destroying everyone's lives.
Tense exchange between @rania_masri & @Ruwa4Georgia about Jill Stein at @adc’s #ArabCon.
“When our people in Palestine are refusing to raise the white flag of surrender, when our people in Palestine are refusing to accept crumbs, why are you?
And if you want to hold on to the genocider, please at least do not attack those of us who refuse to bow down to the Democratic presidential candidate.”
Watch the entire exchange:
Nearly 30 years ago, Congress had the courage to take on the tobacco industry, whose products killed more than 400,000 Americans every year.
Banning fast-food advertising marketed to children, could cut the childhood obesity rate by up to 18%.
Congress must act.
