A tragedy is unfolding in the United States with shocking rapidity. Academic freedom, judicial independence, investigative journalism and civil society are dying. The lifeblood of a culture is draining away and the spirit of a nation is evaporating.
The American Dream is gone.
The American Dream is gone.

The American dream has been taking a nap is what is acceptable. I mean anything is really acceptable because this is fucking America. That's exactly what's great about freedom. I say fuck you, you say fuck me.
Or
The Bald Eagle Party 🇺🇲
The party of the American people.
The Dream only dies if we choose to not resist, if we accept the terrible vision that the faux-fascists say is our new reality. We must prove them wrong.
More working class citizens are realizing that the fight has always been between classes and not races.
I see a light at the end of a long, long tunnel. To get there will take all of us fighting.
Everything gets a little bit worse everyday
So it’s not the dream that is at risk but the existence of the United States.
In Congress all the (R's) fear being "primaried" if they oppose their monarch as Oligarch Muskrat will fund an opposing candidate...
This whole situation is FUBAR...

I've crossed the Rubicon and will not back down from these deplorable humans
and that's a good and dangerous place to be - it's life or death at this point. I will not live on my knees or continue to watch what's being done to WE THE PEOPLE of this planet
STAND UP AND RESIST
Plus higher education costs much more, public transit is lousy, and there's a lot more guns and violence.
We are in this together. And we will get out of it together.
"-newsflash it isn’t, it never was. No healthcare, no maternity leave,"
One of these things is not like the other...
The latter is the accurate statement. A lot of us are too goddamn sick to start a fucking uprising.
You've just let someone take it away from you.
Will everyday people become enslaved by the rich/power holders? I have so many questions...
I am sure you ask five people, you will get different answers.
This country is a choose-your-own-adventure nightmare. But it's ours, so we'll keep it. Maybe plant some flowers out front, hang some drapes.
It's only a tragedy if we give up.
Jenner & Block & WilmerHale are suing the US government.
Costco has ignored the instruction to stop DEI
hiring & documenting.
Wesleyan University, Trinity Washington University & the University of California are taking fighting back.
March 31 - economic strike day
Pls stay strong - you are needed.
The American Dream has been on life support in a hospital bed for a decade or so now, with family and experts gathered around it hoping it survived and came back stronger.
And of course precisely what "the American Dream" is depends somewhat on perspective.
It is what the maj of WHITE Americans who voted, voted for.
For other maj of any other racial group of voters did.
None.😶
The "American Dream" is alive and well and has always been about greed and self-interest. It's going into overdrive now, suckers.
#AmericaShow #Republican suckers.
Government of the people ... by the people ... for the people is still an ideal we can use as our north star.
Work hard and you can achieve everything. You didn’t achieve much? Must be your own fault, you lazy fuck. Don’t ask for help, that’s communism.
But I don't like or want Spam.
Look all you can have is Spam or Spam you live in an undemocratic FPTP electoral system.
Sorry but Spam isn't for me.
See you got Spam, I bet you ain't happy now.

(*Soft MAGA or Trump-curious. I suppose nothing would change the minds of true believers.)
That is the sad part.
Let this be a lesson to all other democracies. Because you are democratic great evil can and WILL climb the ranks to subvert your fairness. Fight him with education, activism, and solidarity.
From
“We the people …”
Through
“… a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. ”
To this pile of fetid Trumpian MAGA shite.
Sad
