Victim blaming has become such a sport in America (instigated by the powerful of course) that we have completely lost sight of the fact that we are ALL connected.🌊

They want us to be so sick and hungry that we won’t have any energy to fight back. Sick. Depraved. Evil.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Wild how the GOP scream about masculinity yet seem to be missing their cojones when it comes to felon 47.

The CFPB has: -Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud -Cracked down on junk fees -Fought against politically-motivated debanking -Protected veterans from predatory lenders -Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

The Gaza Ceasefire Is Being Sabotaged By Israel, By Trump, And By The Media www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-gaza-c...

"The Israelis shot and killed an innocent young woman and then caused the death of her unborn baby, too. Shocking, right? Depraved? Murderous? And yet, as of Monday morning, there was no mention of Sundus Shalabi on...the New York Times or the BBC" - me, for Zeteo:

Just saying…

Pay attention👇

We must not give up! Great piece on what we can all do now👇

I hate everything that's happening right now, so I wrote this

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

This is insane. Musk, the world's richest man, owner of the most influential political messaging platform, and a de facto government member and top ally to the president, is accusing a journalist of being a criminal, because she reported on one of his racist DOGE staffers. This is fascist behavior.

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

This weekend I had an empowering afternoon at Milwaukee Alumnae Founders Day, exploring the intersection of politics and civic engagement. It's crucial to stay informed and active to shape our communities and future!

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes. Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed. We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.

We should all be able to agree to stand together against genocide and ethnic cleansing, especially when our tax dollars are funding it. It should not be even remotely controversial to stand up for humanity together.

Yes. More like this please.

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people. The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge. Guess what happened next...

Yup.

Israel is escalating its attacks on Jenin in the occupied West Bank. "Israel is trying to turn it into a clone of Gaza — ethnic cleansing, pushing people out and destroying homes systematically," says Palestinian analyst Muhammad Shehada.

"That is the tension at the heart of Trump’s whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him."

Unqualified TV dude goes back on TV to lecture everyone on merits and qualifications.

A really important thread on the process of normalization we’re undergoing.

The New York Times seems more interested in RFK Jr’s outfit than his insane beliefs and the power he’d wield over the nation’s health. Breathtaking.

If any Dem votes for this lunatic shill for the billionaires, the credibility of the party will be completely shattered along with what’s left of our democracy. They’ll be sealing their own fate.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

What this all feels like is watching a grotesquely wealthy gang of money hoarders steal everything from your house, then firebomb it with evil glee as they casually walk away with impunity.

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair. He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize. Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether? Amazon and SpaceX.
