Biden says he’s offered $1 trillion in spending cuts but GOP won’t budge on debt limit https://www.azmirror.com/blog/biden-says-hes-offered-1-trillion-in-spending-cuts-but-gop-wont-budge-on-debt-limit/

"If proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love, then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at the great American dream."

-Michelle Obama

US national debt = $30.9 trillion

Trump's share = $7.8 trillion

More than 25% of the ENTIRE national debt in the history of America was run up by Donald Trump, with a GOP-led Congress agreeing to it.

Now they want YOU to pay for it by cutting Social Security and Medicare.

“Estimates are that emergency housing for #migrants will cost the US Government $4 billion over the next year.”

The US Population is 340 million. That’s about $11.76 per citizen per year. My family of five is happy chip in our $60 plus another $60 to cover a poor family’s share.

“#PlannedParenthood has officially joined the growing chorus of liberal politicians and advocates calling for adding seats to the GOP-dominated #SupremeCourt, the first time that the organization has done so.”

#Christofascists spend all their time and energy trying to remake the world in their image, and no time or energy trying to fix themselves. You'd think by now they'd realize that the common denominator in all their problems is them. But they're incapable of introspection, and honest self-examination. They don't even entertain the notion that they could be wrong. This is a glaring example of the destructive, crippling consequences of religion.

In Marjorie Traitor-Greene's mind, mass murderers and literal traitors are nowhere near as bad as loud protestors. Why is the media continuing to cover this ridiculous hag, and give her a platform to amplify her disgusting rhetoric?

If you’re angry, good! I’m angry too. But I’m not going to sit around allowing my anger to turn inward, making me small, bitter, fearful and hateful. Because that would be giving up my personal power and freedom to others. I’m not going to curl up in a ball defeated and crying, I’m going to stare my anger in the face and love it. Because my anger is going to fuel a mission.

I don’t see CNN giving him a free commercial or much other coverage of this. Good stuff, though.

FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces 13 New Actions to Reduce Gun Violence by Maximizing the Benefits of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act |

One of the tallest hurdles for better social media may be the apparent human allergy to citing sources for asserted facts.

An idea is not a fact until it has a reputable source.

Beyond labeling misinformation, how can the design of a social system strongly encourage its members to cite sources for their claims?

When that question finds a satisfactory answer, misinformation will also become more readily apparent for anyone who wants to learn the facts (or lack thereof) behind popular opinions.

“All we need is one Republican to step up.”

One day after he vetoed the state’s “monstrous” 12-week abortion ban, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is stepping up his pressure campaign to find one GOP lawmaker to help him save abortion rights. #velshi

Despite CNN’s shameful claims about DJT’s “traditional” campaign, he is not a “traditional” candidate in any way.

And given his past, he never will be.

Stop the nonsense.
Stop normalizing this.
Nothing about his candidacy is normal.

@kroltanz The IRS has been grossly underfunded. They also lack the staff they need to conduct forensic financial audits on complicated filers.
It’s purposely done to protect the wealthy and corporations from getting caught cheating on their taxes.

It's now TWO YEARS and 127 days since Donald Trump's Jan 6 terrorist attack. In any other first world country he'd already be charged with crimes. Instead Trump is running for President where he's actively spewing more lies to delegitimize our democracy. Indict trump for Jan 6!

"Occupiers destroy ecosystem of Mariupol: dead dolphins spotted on shore

Dead dolphins have been spotted on the shore of the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol in Donetsk Oblast.

There are also a lot of illegal waste landfill sites in the city and no professional service that would control the pollution of the soil, rivers and sea.

The Mariupol City Council reported on Telegram that the occupiers are destroying the ecosystem of Mariupol.

"It is not the first time the residents of the city have spotted the bodies of dolphins washed ashore. It can be a result of the Russians destroying the natural ecosystem of the Azov Sea," the Mariupol City Council explains."

40 years, never came up with anything, so....yeah....let's just take a couple of days and fix it.

Republicans have nothing on border security. Never have, never will. It’s more ridiculous signaling and it’s separate bills.

Republicans want the economy to crash.

We honour the memory of the Fallen for Ukraine.

Every picture on the wall tells a story of bravery and sacrifice.

They lost their lives fighting for our European values.

Let us not forget these faces.
Let us not forget them.

The biggest mistake moderate Democrats are making is that they are governing to preserve institutional credibility while hoping that Trumpism will blow over, rather than preparing with grim fortitude for a society-wide confrontation with a fascist movement playing for keeps. /1

Oh no, Mastodon isn't like Twitter?

That's too bad. We're not going to change to accommodate someone's inability to do so.

Those that don't like Mastodon as it is can go back to Twitter. Better for them to go back rather than stay and complain that we're not like the place they hate.
