Exactly. Eventually, they run out of other people’s money and then they come for you.

I literally wanted to build this app back in 2005ish. I wanted to call it “what dat.” You could point your camera at anything and it would tell you what it is.

Ever see something and wonder “What is that?” Well… now you can quickly identify things you can’t describe in words using your camera in the Google app.

Government paying $300 per child every month not to work is socialism And the radical left is just one Senate comrade away from making it the law

Between @IATSE and now the Oregon nurses at @aboutKP, it’s about to be #STRIKETOBER if the companies don’t start treating their workers better.

If I were to ever write a book on US history, it would be called “the losing end of compromise.” (Wrote a small version of it here in 2007: towardfreedom.org/story/arch…) It looks like @StevePtweets takes care of any need for that. 👇👇👇

Will def have to write more on this but, for now, a 30K foot/sweep of history. (Been working on my book for @thenewpress about how the Civil War never ended, so I’ve kinda got a 156-year time horizon on the brain.) THREAD 1/ nytimes.com/2021/10/08/opini…

US history is one of choosing between intra-white unity or multi-racial progress. You can guess which usually got chosen by the powers that be & by white people of all classes It doesn’t have to stay that way. The future of the country actually depends on choosing differently.
I say, why not both?

Things I'm more upset about than a Senator's constituents trying to have a conversation with them after being ignored - not passing healthcare for everyone who needs it - keeping medication expensive so pharma companies can profit off of sickness - keeping people in poverty wages

It's the same thing that they told gay veterans who spoke out and did civil disobedience.

I sincerely hope anyone calling @LUCHA_AZ with anything but support is making twice as many calls to their Senators' office and pressing them to pass the #buildbackbetter agenda
