Remember: One of the biggest reasons the federal debt has exploded is that tax cuts for corporations and wealthier Americans have reduced government revenue.

If Republicans actually cared about controlling the debt, they’d repeal the Trump tax cuts or pass taxes on the rich.

No, I will not be silent about my own genocide.

Does that make you uncomfortable? Good. It should. The Nazis hid their Holocaust behind closed doors too, so the nice Germans didn't have to see it. The only fucking tool I have to drag this genocidal fascist takeover into the light of day is social media and I'll be damned if I'm going to be shamed out of using it.

Guys, I just went back in time and prevented that one super horrible thing that none of you remember now. No need to thank me.

It strikes me as less about sex these days and more about simply clobbering the smallest and least powerful minority as a first step by the “moral majority” to establish street cred for punshment, vindictiveness and violence before it moves on to the other enemies of a good Christian state in America, like poor people and people of colour…

The Kyiv City State Administration has announced that the first dinosaur park in Ukraine will be reopening in Kyiv on Saturday, April 29. From 12:00 to 15:00, the grand opening of the park will take place in Hydropark, and the animators have prepared a variety of activities and entertainment for young visitors, such as games with props, relay races, contests, aqua makeup elements, dance battles, musical accompaniment, and a mini-bubble disco. All children will also receive balloon figures as a gift. The park will be open daily from 10:00 to 20:00, seven days a week. Free admission is provided for certain groups, such as children under 3 years old, orphans, children of fallen war veterans, ATO and combatants, children with disabilities with an attendant, birthday children under 12 (on the day of the holiday), and every third and subsequent child of a large family (provided that all children are present).

I don't know how to say this in a way that will matter, or even get noticed, but I really need cishet people to understand something:

The people labelling LGBTQ+ folk groomers and pedophiles know it isn't true.

They aren't spreading false information accidentally. Their goal isn't to raise an alarm about something they think is a legitimate threat to children. Their goal is to vilify LGBTQ+ people to set us up as targets for violence, persecution, and death. They are fomenting hate deliberately, because they know how to harness it.

By positioning themselves as the leaders of a violent movement against a manufactured enemy, they gain credibility, exposure, and ultimately control over large parts of the American populace. By pretending to be the vanguard of a defense against predators, they become heroes within their movement.

I know it's not the norm, but I hope a fight breaks out at Jerry Springer's funeral.

Ethics bill is good, but It's likely that the only remedy for a compromised SC is to #ExpandTheCourt. Biden & Dems should run on the need for a trifecta & 60 seats in the Senate: The King-Murkowski bill would require the SC to create its own code of conduct for justices *exists for other fed judges. +Require: court to publish that code, appoint someone to hear complaints about potential violations & mandate an annual report on such investigations & actions taken in resp-: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/27/clarence-thomas-trips-pro-publica-supreme-court-congress/

Realised I've never shared Napoleon the feral kitty's story here, so here we go.

This is Napoleon, and this is the story of his nine-month journey from a hungry, desperate feral street cat to snuggly duvet monster. /1 🧵 #cats

Do you draw stuff? You're an artist.

Do you write stuff? You're a writer.

Do you photograph stuff? You're a photographer.

Your level of skill or competence in those fields don't matter, and it certainly doesn't matter whether or not you've been paid to do them. You don't need to say you're an 'aspiring' anything - you *are* the thing.

Do the thing. #WormsOfAffirmation
