it's wild that The Fifth Element made one of the most accurate predictions of all 1990s sci-fi, anticipating the rise of the streamers and influencers as major celebrities.

A reminder that Dems went out of their way to NOT politicize their prosecutions of Trump. Garland dragged his feet. Biden kept his distance. And then they appointed a special counsel to look independent. All a waste of time. You can never appease the GOP. So why do Dems keep trying? ARGHGGHG.

Your reminder that the tipped minimum wage is $2.13 /hr, and has been since 1991. When employers refuse to pay a living wage, their workers are forced to rely on taxpayer-funded social safety nets. Those aren’t handouts to workers. They’re handouts to companies.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Yeah? But at this point it’s not hypocrisy it’s strategy. Call for one thing counter to your preconception. Own a conversation. Then do this opposite but completely on brand thing. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and all the other ghouls do this shit all the time.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

I detasseled corn and bailed hay for 1 summer in Indiana in high school. then I said fuck this and went to college. And I was a varsity football player used to hours long practice in heat 90% humidity. Good luck getting those rascal 30yr olds in the mom’s basement to do this shit for poverty wages.
