"So the Republicans are not 'incompetent.' They know what they want, and they know how to get it, no matter how destructive it may be to everyone, including to themselves. Linking Ukraine to the border bill wasn’t a 'strange idea.' It was actually quite rational for an insurgency that’s bent on sabotaging the United States from the inside out. They are not just a pro-Russia faction. They are pro-white confederacy."

I'm going to demystify Black hair for those who don't understand. Hair is hair. The amount of curl is the only difference. Straight hair is oily because natural scalp oil can slide down it. Curly hair is dry because the scalp oil gets trapped in the curl.

My parents BOTH got pacemakers. My mother had a stroke & spent a month in the hospital doing rehab. My mom had a Watchman implanted because she couldn't tolerate blood thinners. My father fell down, was in ICU for 4 days, then, went to a nursing rehab for a month. 2 therapists and a nurse came to his house for 1 month. They both have Medicare and a supp. insurance. THEY PAID NOTHING FOR ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS. So, don't ever tell me MEDICARE isn't a good thing. It can be better, sure. But, WTF.

If we lived in a decent nation, we could give all children free breakfast and lunch at school and use those meals to teach them about nutrition. They could use locally sourced food.

I don't think we should let any of the people who brought this climate catastrophe upon us off the hook. If you can't be held accountable for destroying the planet, wtf can you be held accountable for.

He already told you he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and his followers wouldn't leave him. Now, he wants the United States legal system to say he can kill people and not get into legal trouble for it.

"CBS News, in partnership with The Trace and Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, reviewed records from hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the United States and found that many had routinely resold or traded in their used duty weapons -- a practice that has sent thousands of guns into the hands of criminals.”

Our lives mean NOTHING to these people. THIS IS A SICK GAME.

I REFUSE to accept that nothing can be done about the obvious corruption on the Supreme Court. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS and it MUST CHANGE.

I’m alive because I could have an abortion. I’m a mother because I could have IVF.

Let's stop mincing words and playing fucking games. Call things what they are. Use precise language. Traitors, fascists, nazis, confederates, terrorism, dictator, authoritarianism, racists are some of the proper descriptors.

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power”.

In the '80s, I watched a lot of people overcome their homophobia, so don't fucking tell me you can't overcome your fucking racism. I'm sick of the bullshit.

I just watched this video clip of a protestor interrupting Citizen Trump at his rally in SC today. He's losing control. People should do it more. Taunt the shit out of him.
