Bo ThompsonSome folks will be like "what about women's rights?" Paine landed right on that too!

I love this country. It's got a lot of problems, but it's my home and I want it to be good and I think it could be good. I love my country and I want to celebrate our 250th Independence Day too And all day--ALL DAY--the administration has made it clear that they don't consider me a real American
I just went to Taco Bell. I got two chalupas and a small drink. It was $18. This it's what people mean when they talk about the economy feeling bad right now. Everything is expensive. Cheap things are no longer cheap. You can't leave your house without spending $50.

I'm sure lots of people said it, but I think about the time @iwriteok.bsky.social said that the lesson from Ukraine was that you should never under any circumstances give up (or in current times by extention your quest to acquire) your nukes. I'm not really thrilled by that.
Laura JedeedI don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, but they have every justification to want one from a national security perspective As many people are pointing out in the comments: the number of North Korean primary schools bombed this year is zero
If you want to know why both corporate Democrats and Republicans are freaking out about DSA on the TV, this is why. We’ve been living under a 50 year lie that good things are not possible in our politics and it only took six months in a major American city to show that it was a bipartisan scam.
Aaron RuparKARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
