Shell reported Q3 profits of $9.5 BILLION. And Republicans not only did nothing to stop it, but they carried water for those fuckers by helping them pretend that high prices were due to inflation, and not just pure unadulterated corporate greed.

@MENDFamilyCourt @emrazz There are studies out showing that when men ask for custody, they usually get it. The courts aren't biased against men.

@emrazz Exactly. Misandry doesn’t exist. 🦄 Of course a bunch of them are gonna show up here and insist family court discrimination against men exist… but it doesn’t. Anywhere.

If misandry is real, what discrimination do men face as a result of it?

Talked to my 80 year old dad tonight. “Did you vote, dad?” “Well, I tried. I filled out my ballot, but they sent it back. Something about my signature was wrong. I think maybe I’m not supposed to include my middle name when I sign?” #txlege has done great harm.

Liberals are accustomed to solid, stable institutions run by people who are vulnerable to public pressure. But institutions run by the far right aren't like that. We can't pressure Fox News to take Tucker Carlson off the air, no matter how racist he gets. They just don't care.

And the internet is worse. Most of the major social networks are now inside the bubble: Facebook and YouTube are absolutely dominated by right-wing stories and voices. And now Twitter is under the total private control of a Thiel/Trump/Putin ally.

We're reaching the point where it will be VERY difficult for political leaders to communicate with us, or for us to communicate with each other, without passing through the right-wing bubble. Most cable news is in it to varying degrees. Most local channels too. Papers are dying.

Ladies! Help me prove a point. Have you ever been refused a tubal ligation or any other form of sterilization? If so why? Please retweet so we can get a variety of responses.

Republicans like to cry about how California is a "hellhole" and that is "failing." Meanwhile, under Democratic leadership, California has just become the 4th biggest economy on earth, with its economy now larger than Germany.

Never forget that anti-teacher attacks aren’t about protecting kids, they’re about discrediting public education to serve as a basis to privatize it.

Shocker!. Study finds Americans die younger in states with conservative policies. themindshield.com/study-finds-am…

Ginni and Clarence Thomas are the duo we wish we didn't have to constantly talk about, but here we are. Their actions surrounding the insurrection are a threat to our democracy and the public's trust in our courts. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…

NEW: The family of the teen gunman who murdered a teacher and student in a St. Louis school had recently called police and asked them to take his AR-15. There's no Red Flag Law in Missouri, so police gave the gun to a third-party, but the teen got it back. abcnews.go.com/US/st-louis-sc…

It's the quintessential tale of where we are: a man who cavalierly condemned so many women to death, pain & suffering is only concerned about a minor inconvenience to himself. nytimes.com/2022/10/25/us/…

The vast majority of House Republicans have signed on to a Republican budget that will cut Social Security and Medicare.

Dr. Kelli Ward, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, argued in August that "thousands" of Republicans would be implicated if the January 6 committee obtained her communication records. She’s now going to SCOTUS to block the J6 panel from obtaining her communications.

Marjorie Taylor Greene abruptly left an appearance on a local Georgia TV show "Night Talk" when she was asked questions about the texts she sent to Mark Meadows before January 6, as well as calls from the audience regarding her views on abortion. She left without an explanation.

I sat across a table from @leemzeldin for 17 depositions during the 1st impeachment. He was the member the GOP relied on to peddle every false conspiracy theory they could think of. Even Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows would not go there. Zeldin is far too extreme for any office.
