You don’t like gay marriage?
Don’t get gay married.
You don’t like gender-affirming care?
Don’t have any.
You don’t believe in abortion?
Don’t get one.

Your opinion/religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

We are here because politicians and oil executives told us that it would be too expensive to avoid this.

I don't know about you, but not avoiding this is starting to look really fucking expensive to me.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Republicans know their abortion bans create fear and legal uncertainty, even in life and death situations. That’s their goal — the GOP would rather women die than access essential abortion care free from judgment or criminalization. As more deaths caused by MAGA abortion bans come to light, we are heartbroken and outraged.

Afraid to Seek Care Amid Georgia’s Abortion Ban, She Stayed at Home and Died

Candi Miller’s family said she didn't visit a doctor “due to the current legislation on pregnancies and abortions.” Maternal health experts deemed her death preventable and blamed Georgia’s abortion ban.

I feel like a lot of us have this weird sort of collective trauma-induced amnesia over what it was actually like in this country 4 years ago.

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that in 2020 we were a nation on the verge of total political, financial, and societal collapse. Schools and banks were not functioning. Our hospitals were completely full of dead and dying patients.

We were suffering under the worst health care crisis in centuries. We suffered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. And in January of the next year, we suffered the worst attack on our democracy since the civil war. THAT'S what Biden was left with holding the bag after Trump and his goons finally slithered their way out of direct control of power.

The fact that we have a functioning economy at all, a functioning government at all, a functioning society at all, even in the smallest degree, today, is nothing short of a goddamn miracle. And if you don't think we're better off today than we were in 2020, you're either a fool or a liar or both.

The USA is now producing 50% more oil than Saudi Arabia. (‼️)

So, who are the real climate criminals?

Arguably, it is the corporate and political leaders in the United States of America.

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

If Republicans treated an attempt on Donald Trump's life at a golf course like they do mass murders in schools:

"We have to live with it. It's a fact of life."
"Golf courses need fewer exits."
"Was the shooter bullied?"
"We need to arm caddies."
"Golfers need bullet-proof golf bags."
"Cops patrolling every golf course!"
"Maybe more shooter drills on golf courses would help?"
"Were the 10 commandments displayed at the course?"

Trump saying he has "concepts of a plan" is hilariously idiotic but it's something we should take literally.

He doesn't have the discipline to draft plans.

That's why the Heritage Foundation (along with 140 people who worked for Trump in the past) wrote Project 2025 for him.
