it just so happens that John Oliver just did a brilliant episode that’s very relevant to what I just posted, and said it in far better ways than I could. And in case you still weren’t sure why should go vote for the midterm elections, presumably because you’ve been in a coma for the last three years,in which case I am terribly sorry that you had to wake up in 2018, go ahead and skip to 15:35:

This. This is why you should go vote. Because this is what you, as a nation, represent today. This is your identity to the rest of the world. And it needs to stop.

Don’t.

Fuck.

This.

Up.

I saw that this sign is right across from my old high school in my town, and it honestly disgusts me.

The Bible-thumping Republican candidates in my area need to be voted out as soon as possible, or church and state will be further merged into one grotesque entity. VOTE THESE FUCKERS OUT.

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

Why do you think they deserve it

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Reblogging for the very, very important lesson

Sometimes I wish there were a Hell if only for the visuals of a bunch of rich shit heads wandering around on fire asking “Where’s my money?!”

I don’t even live in Texas but honestly we need politicians like Beto 

What’s so great about Beto?

  • Doesn’t take any PAC money or big donor money period. Left or right. Won’t be beholden to big money interests.
  • Already pledged to support Bernie’s Medicare for All bill should he win
  • Legalization of Marijuana, expunging records of nonviolent drug offenders.
  • He wouldn’t have voted for Kavanaugh, and he would have voted for the Violence Against Women reauthorization.
  • Expanding of LGBTQ rights.
  • Public works projects like extending broadband access to rural areas and funding for the rail project between Dallas-SA-Austin-Houston.
  • Bringing back and protecting the voting rights act.
  • Increasing money for the VA.
  • Finding healthy solutions to immigration and the boarder, just like his home town El Paso a boarder town that’s one of the safest cities in the country
  • Prison reform, ending for profit prisons.

If people under age 35 show up to the polls, Beto can win. There are enough young voters to get rid of Ted Cruz, who is a truly terrible person.

Vote in Texas!!!
