#WorkingPoor #Empathy, let’s actually do something about it. For over 40 years the rich get richer, for 20 years a tweet or post mostly helps billionaires. #FollowTheMoney

Thoughts?

Nothing says tax the rich like Jeff Bezos having a historic bridge in Rotterdam dismantled so his $500-million superyacht can pass through.

In December, Nancy Pelosi dismissed banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks.

In January, she reversed course following immense public pressure.

We have momentum, folks. We can ban this corruption once and for all.

Let's keep the pressure on. pic.twitter.com/CEqF96e9pN

Here’s your regular reminder that more than 1 in 10 members of Congress have violated the STOCK Act.

Ban. Members. Of. Congress. From. Trading. Stocks.

Another week has gone by, and members of Congress are still using insider information to trade stocks. How on Earth is this still legal?

According to the Republican Party, sending lawmakers running for their lives and chanting about hanging the Vice President is simply “legitimate political discourse.”

Calling January 6th "legitimate political discourse" strongly implies that they think it's fine if it happens again. https://t.co/vB9QQOTxPk

No discussion, no debate, no recorded vote. It's not a political party. It's a herd of sheep. https://t.co/qEneelIgxe

We just learned that Trump…

* fully intended to "overturn" the 2020 election

* floated seizing voting machines

* will pardon 1/6 rioters

The RNC's response? To punish the only two Republicans who think this has no place in their party.

And yet rather than spend money fixing the electric system to ensure that the power stayed on, Abbot instead shifted state money to pandering gimmicks like finish building the wall on the border. In fact the big money donors from the fuel and energy industry gave large donations to stop any requirements that Abbot had talked about implementing to keep the power on. Now again in winter with freezing temperatures the power is again going off. They made no effort to fix the very issues that happened before and were told would happen again. Seems they care far more over their personal finance than the health and welfare of the people that elected them

Maybe we should retire the phrase "saying the quiet part out loud," on the grounds that there is no longer any quiet part.

2020: Breonna Taylor was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

2022: Amir Locke was murdered by police during a no-knock warrant.

In the two years in between? The Senate didn’t even bring the bill to ban no-knock warrants to a vote.

The whole system is guilty.

We are a selfish country.

Conservatives are about submission. Their kids will rebel one day.

Kids have no problem wearing masks. It’s the parents who can’t think of others.

What is horrifying is the change in the Republican party that went from saying “Better dead than Russian red” to praising Putin and supporting Russia. Russia under Putin is still as authoritarian as it was under communism. Russia under Putin is still as much an enemy to the US and democracy as it ever was.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes

This cartoon author is one of the right wing misinformation cartoonist normally but in this case I agree with her. The Chinese government has shown they will crack down on anyone who says what they don’t like even if done by the athletes. The big scandal in the comment section of the page is over Nancy Pelosi saying the athletes should be care and watch what they say to keep themselves safe, and she blasted the Olympic committee for picking China to host them. The right wing commenters can not seem to understand why she said these things and are attacking her at the same time they are attacking China. So it doesn’t matter what she said, the fact is them must scream in anger about anything she says.

Oh boy the right wing media is on fire over trying to make Whoopi the worst racist ever. Why? Because she is a left leaning black woman. They are drooling to attack her, it is a dream come true for them.
