Anti-fascist. I believe in showing compassion and empathy. Get out the political leaders that aren't fighting for us. Stop making excuses for them. Keep religion out of government. And give peace a chance

IUDs are extremely effective and popular—and will be even more important when Roe falls. It’s time to find a better way to ease the pain.
Why haven't we figured out how to make IUDs less excruciating?

When we look one another in the face, we're neither of us just looking at a face we hate- no, we're gazing into a mirror... Do you really not recognize yourselves in us?

Global oil reserves are being released at record pace, all to keep oil around $100 a barrel.
This isn’t sustainable, and the administration has no plan to reopen the Strait.

Effective tax rate paid by Jeff Bezos from 2014 to 2018: 0.98%
Effective 2025 federal tax rate paid by Amazon: 1.4%
Typical tax rate paid by the average American: 14.5%
Just thought I should point that out.

Did you think it hyperbole when told that the wealthy just wanted poor people to die? It wasn't.
They talk about it when their time isn't taken up with tying up children and sexually assaulting them.
Sick depraved people. Apparently having a lot of money makes you a sick perverted

1) Israel paying my rep @fetterman.senate.gov handsomely for being a lackay for Israel. I despise his lack of morals. Remember when he got depressed and said everyone go to the doctor and get help? Don't be afraid? Well he's an asshole because we pay for his insurance.
