“That wish to enter into an elusive element which had urged him into the trees, was still working now inside him unsatisfied, making him long for a more intimate link, a relationship which would bind him to each leaf and twig and feather and flutter.” ― Italo Calvino

maybe corporate media is losing audience share because it is mass producing this kind of garbage that just openly, aggressively, and proudly gives the big middle finger to basically everyone

A CEO making $20 million annually contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Meanwhile, the rest of the working class contributes to Social Security with 100% of our income. It’s time to scrap the cap.

Social Security Works ❌👑 Letting politicians take away Social Security will be the death knell for so many Americans. "Social Security was envisioned as one leg of a three-legged stool of retirement, along with employer pensions and private savings." Most have no savings and pensions? What a joke.

“Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

True, but very strange thing to admit...

“Sometimes indeed the memory goes back towards a forest glade, or a spot on a river bank or an orchard in blossom, glimpsed only once on a happy day, but preserved in our heart.” ― Guy de Maupassant

I grow tired of saying it. So, this will be the last time. The U.S. moved heaven and earth to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice. Not because he flew an airplane into the World Trade Center — but, because he INCITED his followers to.

In the press conference where he was trying to convince people that his mental faculties are ok, Biden mixed up Mexico and Egypt. This is getting embarrassing. Democrats who claim they can't see the problem are beginning to look fucking ridiculous. Somebody throw in the towel!

Demonstrating once again that cops don't prevent gun violence. If shooting breaks out, your security plan has failed. Stop the flow of thousands of guns each year into the communities.

I don't care if the shooters at the #ChiefsParade were white, black, orange, or green. I don't care if they were MAGA or liberal. The race & ideology of these people aren't the problem. The fact that these unstable people can easily get their hands on guns is the problem.
