@IAmPoliticsGirl Is that not true? I had a roommate until I was 41. I ate raw broccoli for lunch for six years straight.

This is the same administration that just told us we could afford dinner if we had “one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and a corn tortilla”. These people are so hopelessly out of touch. Are we great yet?

Bidets are the new metric system/soccer/low-flo showerheads. Soon America will be as pathetic as the EU.
[NOTE: The reason Americans don't use bidets is because WE SHOWER DAILY.]

@TheMaineWonk If you were alive in 1800 and we had the opportunity to buy Louisiana you probably would've advised the government to give everyone a horse and buggy instead

Instead of blowing $700B on buying Greenland, US could:
- Wipe out 40% of student debt ($1.7T total)
- Fund a year's defense budget (~$800B)
- End homelessness nationwide (est. $20B) & sustain it for decades
- Build massive green energy infra ($700B matches recent laws)

@Ripeberrieshere @Savan_Kotecha @GunnelsWarren The minerals are worth somewhere over 4 trillion, so no yer 100 million each dot scratch the surface, also the damage to get the minerals woudm destroy their home

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Nearly half of older American workers have no retirement savings.
21% of American seniors make less than $15,000 a year.
We can’t help them, but it’s a no brainer to give all Greenlanders a $100,000 check.
Because America first!

Hannity: $100,000 for every person in Greenland… seems like a no-brainer to me.

@mossydg @RyanMei62928378 @esjesjesj he's all of our president. You live in the United States I assume? I've not seen clear evidence that Trump was sleeping with little girls although I think he is a scumbag

They want to lock up trans people who they’ve been calling mentally ill for years

BREAKING: President Trump: Signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums.
English
@esjesjesj gender dysphoria is a mental illness. It was recognized by the DSM for many many years until very recently when they succumbed to political pressure . I don't believe they should be locked up if they aren't a threat to others, but let's be real.

@PeteButtigieg so you mean you want me to pay for someone else's health insurance?
English
Again, the president could dramatically lower health insurance premiums TODAY with one phone call to Senate leadership, but he refuses.
Meanwhile, at Davos….

@andrewoetting @BladeoftheS Seems like the opposite would be true. Consolidation of wealth and increasingly efficient use of automation would only decrease labor use

Todo el mundo está hasta los cojones del capitalismo pero muchos en vez de desarrollar una crítica política radical contra este sistema que nos reduce a ser engranajes del capital prefiere aspirar a convertirse en explotador.

@Machzero0 @SocDem_Erika How was inflation in the 1970s? Price controls are not the answer.
English
@Ripeberrieshere @SocDem_Erika Richard Nixon of all people imposed price controls! they were not remotely a kooky fringe idea for a country less than a generation removed from wartime rationing!
English
A liberal from 1966 would support
> full employment
> racial quotas for employment
> (maybe) bussing
> price controls
> repealing Taft-Hartley
> free trade
Any one of them would be enough for a conservative to brand them a radical communist
TONY™@TONYxTWO
“If a liberal from 1966 time traveled to 2026, they would be considered a Republican. But if a liberal from 2026 traveled in time back to 1966, they would be institutionalized.” He’s not wrong 💯👇🏼

@VintageRockN_85 Beethoven. Most people don't realize he was black. Also, the backup band for all of the Faro was black. Because of course the pharaohs were black and also I loved the black musicians that were part of the original migration into America. Blacks founded America. Wakanda forever.

@CravedSanity @SwipeWright you realize that explaining the court would make them more susceptible to the pressure of daily politics?
English
@SwipeWright Yes. We should expand the court to be insulate it from the pressures of daily politics.
You've never put forth an argument why 9 is some magic number. You're fear-mongering to a MAGA base you know is stupid.
English
The Democrats will expand the Supreme Court.
BUTTIGIEG: "I think it's not so radical to suggest a different makeup of the Supreme Court. By the way… You know what article of the Constitution says that there are 9 Supreme Court justices? Trick question, it's not in there!"
English
@SwipeWright it would still be a radical change. That's why you want it.
English
@esjesjesj no, it's not. You're a moron.

This is literally what happens to anyone who repeatedly breaks the law. He’s just applying the law

@SocDem_Erika would a 1966 liberal be able to tell me what a woman is?

@cnwhite234 @CricketSurfing @SocDem_Erika remind me what our economic growth has been in comparison to Europe over the last 30 years? Or if we want to be more extreme, tell me about all of the success of socialist countries.
English
@CricketSurfing @SocDem_Erika So you think good things are good, but you want to achieve them in conservative ways that are stupid and don't work
