“War is never holy! Only peace is holy, because it is willed by God!” — Pope Leo XIV

“Nobody is forcing you to work at that job you hate.” I think you’ll find the threat of starvation and homelessness is fairly coercive.

You can say whatever you want about President Trump but you have to admit: he’s a real piece of shit.

It’s horrifying that while the GOP has control of all three branches, that 43% of people are looking around at the general clusterfuck state of the country and going: “Yup I should vote for the GOP again… that’ll fix it”

Seems fair. Bring this shit back.

I hate when people glorify overworking. Giving up sleep, proper nutrition, exercise, rest, time with friends and family, and never using your days off or PTO isn't admirable. Too many people wear burnout like it's a badge of honor. It isn't. It's nothing to be proud of.

If Merrick Garland had done his job, Trump would be rotting away in prison right now. Do you agree?

imagine how much the economy would be stimulated if rent went back to $500/month

I think the Governor of Kentucky has every right and responsibility to either see Mitch or declare the seat vacant.

When you pay taxes for universal healthcare, you're not "paying for lazy people's healthcare." You're paying for your own healthcare instead of premiums, copays, and deductibles. Why can't people grasp this? Look at it as something that benefits you and your family, not just other people. You'd actually save more money under a tax-funded healthcare system than you do with the current for-profit system.

Ryan: This is a straight up betrayal from a president, by the way, who promised to end wars, not start wars—a president who never spent a single day in uniform but is more than willing to send other people's kids to fight in his wars

Gavin Newsom: “Donald Trump’s gonna do everything to try to steal this election. He’s socializing all of this to normalize all of this. He doesn’t believe in fair and free elections. He wants the election that Putin has. He wants to pick and choose who votes. This is pathetic that anyone is defending the ramblings of this madman”

Mamdani tells the Rolling Stone what it means to run a city under democratic socialism principles. "These six months, we have paved over 165,000 potholes, we have returned tens of millions of $$ to tenants who were taken advantage of by landlords, we have put our city on a path to universal childcare, delivered the lowest number of murders and shootings in NYC history, put our city on a path to the most affordable housing building 200,000 new homes."

It is not atomic weapons that generate #peace, but disarmament. This truth, which seemed clear in past decades when we witnessed a nuclear de-escalation, has been obscured by a race to armament that today frightens and terrifies.

Trump is withholding $1 billion in Medicaid funds from California and Minnesota. The same man who made $2 billion off the presidency and passed $1 trillion in tax cuts for the 1% is now taking away health care from thousands of poor children. You can’t make this up.

One of the most insane things to me is how we’ve normalized working 40 hours/5 days a week. Only 8 days off a month is fucking criminal wtf are we doing

The US is the richest country in history, yet it does not have universal healthcare or social housing because it is also the greediest country in history. It cares more about protecting the ungodly fortunes of its oligarchs than making sure its people have healthcare and housing.

"College is a scam" is propaganda... College was never a scam. The price of college in the US is the scam.

Andy Beshear is demonstrating why voters are pushing out incumbent democrats. What a pathetic response to covering up McConnell’s death. “I haven’t heard anything”. Dude get off your fucking ass and go down to the hospital. Cause a fucking scene. We’re tired of this shit.
