There’s 14.8 million Jews in world(we got killed a lot) @kanyewest you have 31.4 million followers here. All those “Sunday Services” praising Jesus,a dead Jew who ppl went “death con 3” on a couple thousand years ago. You’re not an original thinker. A boring, hate filled paradox.

Weird how all these “free, independent thinkers” always land at the same old anti blackness and anti semitism.
The stat I found said $231 as the median weekly wage in 1973 HOWEVER adjusted for inflation that should have translated to $1,541.41 in 2022, so yes it is still a wage decrease over time. census.gov/library/publicati…

It's around 5:30am in New York. I wish more people were up right now to see this because this is so crazy. It's the middle of the afternoon in Sri Lanka and the people have stormed the presidential palace.
The GOP doesn't care about Hutchinson's testimony because they already knew what T did was wrong and illegal and they just. do. not. care. They fully support his attempted coup.

The @michigandaily printed my Letter To The Editor. Why are we so willing to entertain our children but not as willing to sacrifice for or protect them by giving up *some* of our gun rights?
