"Listen, I ain’t got no favors for you, Trump" — Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) says Trump and the GOP majority are going to have to figure out this spending bill chaos themselves.

In love with the idea of captain marvel being Billy's imaginary friend. Like, it'd be so easy. Early depictions had them as almost fully separate people sometimes, like one soul with two minds, rather than just two filters like we mostly see now.

But imagine a Billy down on his luck, hurt and hiding from police and criminals alike, daydreaming the hours away as children do, taking inspiration from all the superheroes rising to fame, making little stories to play out his dreams of saving the world with a generic action doll he found while dumpster diving once. Most of the paint's rubbed off.

Red's his favourite colour, his comfiest jumper is a bright ruby even after all the grime and washes. Gold, too, it's shiny and warmer than silver! A hero cape is a must, big and eye catching! And he can fly, of course, like superman, and in his daydreams, when he's sore and frustrated after a long day's grind, his superhero is smart enough and knows all the right words to get the bullies to stop without resorting to fighting.

His superhero fantasy is one he spends a lot of time on, the first one he goes for when struggling to sleep at night, and he can picture it so clearly. Captain marvel is big and bright and kind, strong enough to lift the boxes for the old lady up the road who's moving all by himself, fast enough to catch Jamie who fell out of the tree on Saturday and broke his leg and couldn't come to class for weeks. He appears at the entrance to alleys when Billy is cornered, he steps up behind to cover for him when he gets caught shoplifting, he sits at the bus stop with him when it's pouring rain and the right bus doesn't seem to be coming.

And then the wizard comes, or rather whisks him away, and like a magician from a fairytale breathes life into his imaginary friend until Billy feels thrice his size and a million times more invincible.

From then on, captain marvel is a real hero, just like Billy is a real boy, and as one they save the whole city, and then the whole world, and get cats down from trees and help Mrs Victoria move the last of her boxes and she gives them a pinch in the cheek and cookies for the road and sometimes it hurts but it's so much better than he imagined.

My personal interpretation of Kavetham is that Alhaitham is aware of his feelings for Kaveh and he’s just accepted them, shrugged and continued living his life. It’s just a fact to him now. And if someone asked him if he ever planned on telling Kaveh, he’d be like, “It’s none of his business.”

America as a country has been hypocritical for as long as it's existed, so I've always found outraged claims of "this isn't what the founding fathers wanted!" a bit silly not only because again, they were hypocritical rich land-owning white men who built things to be inherently unfair and probably would actually be totally down for a lot of fucked up shit and the only reason shit ever got fairer was a centuries long game of "hmm maybe we should change that actually" BUT ALSO because who tf cares what they think, they've been dead for like 200 years now and their opinions are moot...

...and that's why I am so stunned to have reached a point where nah actually, you're right! They wouldn't have wanted this! I think if we went back in time and showed any of the founding fathers that fucking fake TIME cover of Trump being declared the king they'd probably get pissed and ask why we haven't [REDACTED FOR LEGAL REASONS] yet.

How tf did this country get so messed up that crusty old racist genocidal slave-apologist colonialsts from the 1770s would look at us and go "hey no that's not okay" and be CORRECT.

We need to smash the mythology of Republicans being fiscally responsible and good at economics. Shoveling vast amounts of money into the pockets of venal oligarchs who don't need it is not good for the country.

Former president Donald Trump approved almost twice as much borrowing as current President Joe Biden during his four years in office, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget (CFRB). Trump, who presided over the federal government from 2016 to 2020, approved $8.4 trillion in new ten-year debt. But incumbent president Biden, who defeated Trump four years ago, has approved $4.3 trillion in new borrowing, said a new report by the committee. As for reducing the budget deficit, Trump cut it by $443 billion. The Biden administration has reduced it by $1.9 trillion. The U.S. is sitting on a total of $34.73 trillion in national debt, accrued over the country's history, according to government data.

I often say that Republicans create a mess when in office. And when they're voted out, the Republicans then try to make a campaign issue out of Democrats not cleaning up the Republican mess quickly enough.

During the Trump years, his tax cuts added $1.9 trillion in U.S. debt, while the budget passed in 2018 and 2019 generated borrowing of $2.1 trillion. Those two policy moves contributed some of the largest debt increases during Trump's tenure. Over the last three and a half years, under Biden, some of the largest contributors to the national debt included the appropriations bills of fiscal year 2022 and 2023 that generated $1.4 trillion of borrowing, while the American Rescue Plan Act was responsible for $2.1 trillion in debt, according to CFRB.

The Trump tax breaks for the filthy rich will automatically expire in a few years. That's why multi-billionaires are ignoring Trump's dictatorial behavior and criminality and are dropping HŪGE donations into Trump's campaign coffers so that he can renew their tax breaks if he gets back into office. Their rapacious greed is downright pathological.

When those tax breaks expire, provided Biden wins, the debt will then level off as it did during the Clinton administration after Democrats raised taxes on the filthy rich. Bill Clinton ended his presidency with a budget surplus.

As long as we're talking economics, a reminder that 90.9% of all recessions of the past 71 years began under Republicans.

... just sayin'.

I do not want to get married. I acknowledge that equal marriage rights are incredibly valuable for a multitude of reasons and that the fight for marriage equality is nowhere near over (disabled people being unable to get married at risk of losing their benefits comes to mind). But I do not want to get married.

I am however deeply frustrated by the complete lack of legal rights that exist outside of marriage. My next of kin will forever be my parents and siblings, no matter how much of my life has been devoted to a chosen family. They will have first rights in legal, medical, and even funerary decisions. And don't get me wrong, I am close with my blood family, but I ache at the thought that some of the most important people in my life will never "count" by these metrics. If I'm hospitalized, they won't even be allowed in the room.

Legal care of kinship only applies to children with insufficient guardianship (this is where a godparent or friend or neighbor can serve as a substitute guardian, basically). I as an adult can't get my friends to legally adopt me (also that would be a little weird). At best, I can list them as an emergency contact and hope. Why am I not allowed to sign a piece of paper saying these people are loved and trusted and should be recognized as such.

transcript:

Last year when they brought this ban up for a vote, number one, they said it was a national security issue. It's a national security issue. I said "Okay. That's serious. Let's see the case. Let's see the intelligence, let's see what's going on." I can tell you that what was presented to all of the members voting on this thing was not very compelling. There was no real information that was given that was a smoking gun, that was anything specific. It was very vague, not convincing and frankly it was not convincing to many other members as well. In fact, very high ranking members on the House Foreign Affairs Committee came to me after the briefing and they were very shocked and pretty surprised at the lack of substantive information in the briefing. They were genuinely expecting there to be some real or compelling intelligence shared that would substantiate the argument. And there just wasn't. And they were surprised at the lack of information presented at it.

And also, additionally, this bill, which is very large and substantive, like in terms of its impact, came to the Energy and Commerce Committee, it was marked up and it was brought to the floor like in a matter of I don't know, one or two weeks. I'm trying to remember, it was just a few weeks; which is very, very fast. Very.

Additionally, the degree to which corporations surveil the American people without genuine consent and without a real mechanisms for opting out, should be illegal. Point blank period. And so many of us naturally said, the answer is not just playing endless whack-a-mole with apps, the answer is that we should have real privacy legislation in the United States, and we should help people own their information and have greater agency over their personal information so that they're not being spied on all the time, whether it's a domestic company or a foreign company. So we need to actually have privacy laws in the United States—to which, of course, Big Tech is going to fight against. And their lobbies are going to fight against. So they just target an app instead of targeting the problem.

And then lastly, when this thing was passed, all these legislators were like—though who supported it—were like, "Oh, it's not a ban, it's not a ban; it's just a forced sale." Which, to be fair, forced sales have happened in the past. Grindr was a forced sale. And they'll say, "It's not a ban, it'll be a forced sale, it'll be fine." Well, first of all, they provided very little time for that to happen. For an app that big, who is going to buy TikTok? Hello? Like, it's very large.

But, besides that, after leaving no time for a forced sale, now here we are. And I would say that the lack of forethought and the rushed nature of this bill is now evidenced by the fact that both the Biden and Trump administrations are looking to see if there's any way to reverse or stall it. And if they're looking at that now, why didn't they look at it then?
