OMG - !!!! Now I have more questions than I had before.

6 totally corrupt ChristoFascists end #AffirmativeAction but "Legacy admissions at the same universities are alive & well. All kinds of backscratching & logrolling go on at the highest levels of our society
Even CJ Roberts left affirmative action in place at the military academies" -Charlie Pierce

"As the presidential race for 2024 starts in earnest, democracy is on the ballot. While many eyes will be on campaign rallies & debate stages, the work of restoring democracy is being done by Black leaders like the ones who delivered the Alabama victory."

HOW TO SPOT A RIP CURRENT:

IT'S WHERE THE WATER LOOKS EASIEST AND SAFEST, with no waves breaking or rolling in.

NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE.

If you get caught in a rip, DON'T FIGHT IT. You can't swim back to shore against it; you will become exhausted and drown.

Instead, SWIM ACROSS IT, parallel to shore. You'll soon be out of the current and can then easily swim back.

Boost, please, and make sure your friends and family know this when they hit the beach.

I'm six years older than Joe Biden, and I just did months of performances on stage in London, 8x a week.

Age is a state of mind and body, and Joe is just fine, as am I. It's that other guy with the orange foundation who seems feebleminded and unhealthy.

At least the new Twitter rules will force some people to stop linking to it. Maybe even convince some of the folks we only see on the bird mirror sites to just come here.

@rbreich Funny my PPP loan wasn’t forgiven, I paid every fucking cent back. Guess I’m not rich enough for loan forgiveness. Republicans are criminals

And then to really sweeten the deal, Republicans want to slash so called "entitlements" like #SocialSecurity. I'm not sure how something I (and everyone else) have been contributing to our whole working lives is an entitlement. Sounds more like a debt owed to us.

@pbump oh you mean with the plaintiff who isn’t gay and never tried to get a website? That case?

Our student loan relief plan was on the verge of providing more than 40 million Americans with real debt relief.

The program was all set to begin.

Republican elected officials and special interests stepped in and snatched relief that was about to change Americans' lives.

Listen. My husband and I paid off all of our student debts the old fashioned way. When I heard younger people getting relief I could only think one thing:

Thank God someone noticed the huge negative impact debts have. It was one of the best things Biden did. And only fair considering PPP relief and bailout happened.

Going of your way to reverse what was *already settled* is spiteful. Especially when the PPP relief isn't even questioned.

SOCUTS is full of spite for ordinary people.

Religion is one disease that needs to be eradicated!!!!!!!

Addendum- when someone says “vote”, that doesn’t mean they don’t know about gerrymandering, voter suppression, or how the Senate and Electoral College are set up. I already know this. Many people if not all who post about voting on this platform already know this.

The number of people who don’t vote isn’t equal the the number of people who are suppressed, number one. And two, we have to remind people to vote and help people vote who have obstacles and we need them to vote, too.

We know.
