If you're wondering where the loose change you dropped on your back patio is... likely it's back in the pack rat midden...

From the NWF: "Members of the genus Neotoma are also called packrats because they have a tendency to hoard things, especially shiny objects left out by humans. Woodrats are also called “trade rats,” because when they come across a new treasure, they’ll drop whatever they’re carrying in order to pick up the new item, effectively trading one token for the other.

Popular opinion: people who preface not actually unpopular viewpoints with "unpopular opinion" kinda suck.

Since the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010:

The number of American Indians and Alaskan Natives without insurance is down 39%.

The number of Latino Americans without insurance is down 45%.

The number of Black Americans without insurance is down 48%.

The number of AANHPI Americans without insurance is down 61%.

This is historic progress that Democrats will build on if we give them a real trifecta in November. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/07/us/health-insurance-minority-groups.html

Via Jon Favreau:

  1. Republicans block a bill that would protect contraception

  2. Trump floats jailing his opponents; an informal advisor suggests executing them

  3. DataProgress poll: 63% of swing voters have heard little to nothing about Trump's guilty verdict

May I humbly suggest that Biden supporters use their feeds to put some of this info in front of people instead of continuing to complain/amplify stupid WSJ story …?

152 days to go. Lots of work to do. Gotta pick our battles wisely.

80 years ago today, 2,501 Americans died at Normandy to protect lives and democracy.

Some were black, knowing they would return to a racist US.

Some were gay, knowing they could be court-martialed for who they were.

They fought anyway for what was best and right.

I don't care what you think of Biden. A world with Trump in the White House will be a disaster. In 151 days, you can do what is best and right without risking your life.

Every election. Every race. Every Democrat. #VoteBlue #DDay

#Netanyahu isn't welcome:

Multiple news sites report that the Netanyahu govt, via its MIN of Diaspora Affairs, ran a multi-M$ AI-powered disinfo. campaign designed to generate support for their Gaza war among US elected officials & gen. public.

Our so-called ally—within weeks of the #Oct7 Hamas terrorist attack—was covertly creating fake SM accounts pretending to present American voter views in support of IL. Their targets were esp. ones who're Black & Dems.”

Some of y'all are still confused as to why it seems that Silicon Valley billionaires are "turning to Trump." That's because you don't listen to Black people, you disrespect poor white people, and you ignore obvious statistics that have been staring you in the face for decades.

Silicon. Valley. Billionaires. Have. Always. Supported. Trump.

Not because they like the tax breaks. Because they are more likely to be racist, and racism is the greatest predictor of Trump support.

Most of the people in Silicon Valley, vote Dem.

But most of the money in Silicon Valley, votes GOP.

Some of these VCs sit around in online chat rooms with alt-right reactionaries and real life nazis. Some of them hold little public meetings, where they talk about ending democracy and great replacement theory. Some of them write books on why diversity is bad, and should be avoided. Most of them cheer on Elon's anti-woke, fashy push.

And y''all are surprised that they support Trump?

If you’ve ever wondered HOW ON EARTH little British sitcoms could afford all the Top 40 music you hear in them—I certainly did!—a producer once told me the BBC has an insane blanket license that allows its productions to use basically everything for free.

I can recall being flabbergasted after I started counting and got to like seven or eight songs in a single episode, just one of which would’ve been cost-prohibitive under normal circumstances.

It’s funny how, as you progress through college, they require you to write longer and longer papers. Then you get to the professional world and no one will read an email that’s more than 5 sentences.

Someone is selling a $15k Faraday cage for the #Cybertruck for “doomsday” EMP attacks. 🤣🤣🤣

Literally a tinfoil hat for your douchepanzer.

I guess they figure OTA software updates can wait while they’re protecting you from the zombie apocalypse.

A fool and their money, etc.
