“The causes which destroyed the ancient republics were numerous; but in Rome, one principal cause was the vast inequality of fortunes.”

New Year's Even is an emotionally evocative time.

If this is a hard, lonely, uncomfortable, or even meh occasion, remember we have #gatherhere as a place to land.

I think of it as a place to get support, receive kindness, or even just distraction.

Mostly, it's folks looking out for each other.

Cash bail is stupid on both ends... non-violent, minor crime, low likelyhood of being charged and flight ppl stay in jail because they are poor... dangerous people, serious crimes, flight risks etc people with money can get out... why is money in this equation in this at all?? . let someone decide ON THE MERITS if person will likely flee or based on seriousness or likelihood of being charged.. cash bail is a completely ridiculous, unfair, JUST PLAIN STUPID system!!

Guess this went out the door. They are screwing up everything, making a liar out of LIBERTY.

Since the unelected #SCOTUS ruled that corporations are people too, which actually sanctioned legalized political bribery in the form of unlimited and untraceable dark money masquerading as campaign contributions, we have had zero campaign finance laws. We must end citizens united. #CitizensUnited is destroying our democracy and country.

@see_the_sus Agreed wholeheartedly. But trickle down voodoo economics was a big republican lie that hid their defunding of our government and its institutions agenda. Tax cuts defunded and still defund everything that we need as a society and country. The wealthy benefit from our tax dollars, but they don’t pay taxes. That’s socializing investments and privatizing profits. That’s how we got billionaires. Never had them before.

In any other job in the good old USA, if you lied about your academic records, especially to the extent of not having attended college at all, you’d be fired on the spot. Only in Congress does a job have no requirements for honesty or ethics. In the corrupt Republican Party, it’s just fake it and make money. Great system! Looking at you, George the liar Santos.

Hope everyone has someone to look at them the way this pup is looking at her friend 🥰💞💞

If the crimes that #TFG committed would’ve resulted in convictions for anyone else, then he must face justice. Any other public or elected official would’ve already faced the consequences for their crimes. He isn’t above the law. #LockHimUpAlready

"Marjorie Taylor Greene is fighting with Lauren Boebert and George Santos appears to be starring in the sequel to 'Catch Me If You Can' — and it’s not even January 3rd."
