New analysis today from Americans for Tax Fairness, a left-leaning group, finds the Biden legislation is heavily progressive — despite SALT would in aggregate tax top 1% while funding programs for bottom/middle class. In line w/ other analyseshttps://t.co/kndh8Cluwq pic.twitter.com/P4iNinyV8Z

Anti-voter laws are a major threat to our democracy. The Freedom to Vote Act can protect voters' rights and stop corrupt politicians from eroding our democracy.

They can’t even handle having a conversation.

Instead of rejecting christofascism, Republicans have become christofascists.

Children with weapons of war around a Christmas tree? Boosting? The insecurities are staggering. These poor kids.

Christofascists have one god, the gun.

Celebrate Jesus with a gun. For children

Wall in the bed

Patriarchy includes women. Going after vulnerable women, women in need, women in abusive relationships, rape victims, their privacy, their reproductive rights that have precedent for FIFTY years, is beyond despicable.

It’s non-stop punching down.

Misogyny is the default.

Double standard.

I hate the term "drug-seeker" so much! Literally every patient is a drug-seeker; If there is a drug that can relieve and/or cure what ails you, the act of going to a doctor's office is you seeking it out!!! It boggles my mind how willfully ignorant and cruel the label is. https://t.co/GYvnHKwpX8

drug seeker

I have chronic pain that limits my quality of life, it restricts / limits my ability to function. That is just a fact of my life. I had a muscle relaxer doctor had been prescribing me for years that worked great for me. The Florida legislators felt they knew better than my doctors, better than any doctors and said that if the doctors office also wrote prescriptions for some other medications then they couldn’t write prescriptions for the medication I was taking. Even if I was not taking the other medications. If they did prescribe the medication I was using and the patient died for any reason, any reason, the pain doctors could be charged with murder. My doctors immediately stopped prescribing the medication. I have never found another that works as well for me. Thanks Florida. Hugs

Not only is this incredibly pure, it’s made a lot of transphobes have to say the quiet bit out loud: the problem is people having a good time not conforming to their assigned sex and gender roles. (Nowhere is it mentioned how any of the actors in this short clip identify). https://t.co/250oiwFDgV

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

Yeah, Lisa, you sure pwned that mentally disturbed, homeless guy who allegedly lit that tree on fire! Yes it was wrong to burn that fake tree (?) In front of a fake news provider (!) I Don’t know if I should shake my head in disgust or give a thumbs up to the symbolism ! It wasn’t even a Christmas tree. Fox built a metal pyramid, hung greenery (probably fake), then hung decorations on it. You can call it a tree, I suppose, but it has the same relationship to a real tree that Fox’s construction of patriotism has to real patriotism. Hugs

Are you also wanting the Covid death totals and lack of active government plans for distribution of the soon to be approved vaccine that was happening during tRump’s last year in office?

While millions wait for a lifesaving shot, the U.S. death count from covid-19 continues to soar upward with horrifying speed. On Tuesday, the last full day of Donald Trump’s presidency, the death toll reached 400,000 — a once-unthinkable number. More than 100,000 Americans have perished in the pandemic in just the past five weeks.In the U.S., someone now dies of covid every 26 seconds. And the disease is claiming more American lives each week than any other condition, ahead of heart disease and cancer, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.“It didn’t have to be like this, and it shouldn’t still be like this,” said Kristin Urquiza, whose father, Mark, died of covid in June, as the virus was sweeping through Phoenix.

See it is easy to pretend only good came from a presidential term if you are willing to ignore the facts and reality. The reason gas prices were so low is there was a lack of demand due to the world wide Covid Pandemic and large over supplies this caused. What brought the price of gas back up was renewed demand as the world started to function again as the pandemic was being handled. Again world wide. Scottie
