Honestly, I think that the only people who hate working class folks more than the wealthy are other working class folks who have fully bought into the idea of capitalism and being self made, but have failed at succeeding under capitalism.

Its the same in Australia.

The former conservative Govt also legislated almost identical $1.3 trillion tax cuts for the wealthiest (which the subsequent Labor govt is continuing) while they ran an illegal programme of raising false social security debts on over 700,000 people living under the poverty line.

Some were given debts of over $65,000, had private debt collectors Dunn & Bradstreet sent after them, were threatened with jail if they didn't start repaying within 2 weeks, and over 2500 people ultimately committed suicide.

All to the end of finding $1.4 billion to give a budget surplus the Govt could crow about as the natural superior economic managers compared to Labor.

Total student loan debt erased by Biden plan: $400 billion

Total cost of the 2017 GOP tax cuts: $1.9 trillion

Funny how Republicans have no problem giving corporations and billionaires big tax cuts, but erasing some student loan debt for millions of people is just too much.

Almost two dozen parents of children seen at a St. Louis transgender center say their experiences sharply contradict examples supplied by a former caseworker.

Rupert Murdoch and Fox News have been getting their Goebbels on for over 25 years. So it's ABOUT DAMN TIME the left resists head-on this slithering viper and his propaganda network.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry could not get to Switzerland due to the EU ban on his plane. Lavrov spoke online, but ambassadors and other diplomats left the hall in a show of support for Ukraine. #Ukraine #News #Invasion #Russia #9yearsOfWarInUkraine

My daughter recently was pregnant. She had previous miscarriages but we were all very hopeful. She was a few months in when there was no heartbeat. The baby within had died. Because we live in a BLUE state an abortion pill could be given. A procedure could be done. She did not have to suffer carrying a dead fetus. She was heartbroken but with rest and healing could try again. If she was in a RED state the procedure and the pill would have been banned.

NIH study, based on WHO data, found that American exceptionalism is real.

We have 7.5X the homicide rate of other rich countries.

Largely the result of a gun murder rate that's 25X higher.

Gun death rate, incl suicide & accidents, is 11X higher.

In the data set, the US had 84% of all gun deaths.

And 92% of women and 97% of children under 5yo killed by guns.

A result of an individual right to bear arms invented by GOP judges this century.

#CPAC. I just ... can't. I intentionally haven't been posting quotes, because they're way too stupid, alarming, fascistic, extreme, enraging, stupid, bigoted, racist, stupid, nauseating, infuriating, dangerous, stupid.

Did I mention stupid?
