Dear male Republican lawmakers, literally thousands
of these beautiful pre-born babies are living in your
testicles. If even one escapes without fertilising an
egg, you will be murdering a living miracle. The only
safe solution is to smash your testicles repeatedly
with a hammer.

A reminder most ppl who are poor are poor b/c greedy soulless rich ppl commit wage theft by grossly underpaying & finding ways to avoid giving benefits & then use propaganda to convince e/o the prob of poverty is caused by feckless ppl whose 40+ hrs/wk for less than living wage proves they're lazy

By moving to the “center,” Democrats
have failed to fight the forces that led
us to Trump: widening inequality and
the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a
takeover of the government by
oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need
to learn this.

Center Between Oligarchy And True Freedom Now

People spend so much time mocking Trump
or waiting for him to be impeached. And the
danger with that kind of obsession with a
single person is that you don’t see the
system that produced him.

There is no “gender war.”
Women didn’t take away
men’s right to vote. Women
didn’t ban men from
education or property.
Women didn’t write laws
controlling men’s bodies.
Women didn’t build systems
that stripped men of their
freedom. The imbalance
never ran both ways.

Imagine the amount of
propaganda it took to
convince people that a
political movement that
demonizes the poor, worships
the rich, takes healthcare
away from the sick, food
assistance from the hungry,
dehumanizes immigrants,
disenfranchises minorities,
eroads women’s rights, cares
only about their children,
engages in endless wars, and
ransacks the planet for profit
represents the way of Jesus.

You do not earn a billion
dollars. You steal it.
Nobody works a billion
times harder than a nurse,
a teacher, or a farmer.
That money comes from
underpaying the people
who actually did the work.
Stop worshipping hoarders
who are just really good at
wage theft.

Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesn't make a corporation a terrorist. - Winona Laduke

They were keeping count the whole time we were there, last figure I heard was 2500- west side of Bradenton. Haven't heard how many on the east side.

In America, it's normal to let
children go hungry, let banks force
people out of their homes, let sick
people die for lack of access to
healthcare...
But if you mention the idea that
billionaires could just be less rich -
not poor, not struggling, just less
rich - you are considered insane.

Just reminding everyone that if you don't like Iran's Islamic authoritarianism, it exists because the US overthrew a secular socialist Iran in 1953 because BP was losing oil profits.

A woman with three kids didn't walk from Guatemala to break into your double-wide and steal the only thing you have, empty beer cans.
She didn't come up here to sell you meth, that's your cousin's job.
She isn't stealing your non-existent job.
She came up here to survive.

Bought two signs to alternate at protests - along with the one I made - from Black-owned business Signs of Justice, www.signsofjustice.com , and I'm really pleased:

One sign has a picture of MLK and a quote "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"
The other sign says
Have Hope
Choose Love
Be Kind
and has two doves of peace pictured

Okay, if we're gonna go all out for 1950's nostalgia: I'll dress up when I fly if you go back to collecting an average of 42% tax from the rich like they did back then.

For what it's worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swears the oath. Hope that clears things up.

I just got a foster cat from the shelter. They think he's 15 & don't know his name--since he's been here I mentioned "Tux" is too often given to tuxedo cats & his head shot up so I may have learned his name. The blessing is I get to love & cuddle this baby & the shelter system takes care of the vet

Turned out great for her...
