Goddammit, #AssociatedPress, it's not an accident! It's criminal neglect. It's child endangerment. It's failure to secure a deadly weapon. It's absolute irresponsibility. One child dead and the other traumatized forever because someone thought they needed to own a firearm, and needed to have it loaded and unsecured around small children. Stop calling it an accident!

“The letter mentions three federal statutes: Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States; deprivation of rights under color of law; and tampering with a witness, victim, or an informant. It does not offer further details, nor does it detail how the special counsel believes Trump may have violated the statutes, the source tells Rolling Stone.”

Being okay with racism makes you a racist. In a fundamentally unequal society, there's little practical difference between hating POC and being wholly indifferent to their well-being.

Remember: a seditious group of Republican Attorneys General sent robocalls spreading election lies and urging Republican voters to riot at the Capitol. They also threatened to nullify 2020 election results. How many are still in office waiting to undermine democracy once again? #GOPTraitors #GOPSedition #RepublicanAGs #KenPaxton #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

Teachers can only deduct $250 in school supplies on their #taxes, but billionaire Harlon Crow can write off his whole super yacht.😐

Why? Because millionaire politicians funded by billionaires & corps write tax #law for billionaires. We need a #Congress for working people—not the .1%

A group of New York #Republicans passed on punishing George Santos once. Some of them say they won’t do it again.
