Boomers benefitted from a strong labor movement that used the government to force corporations and industries to pay a living wage. But at some point, they got greedy and leveraged their children's rights to the same for their own profit. If we fix our elections,we can get $$ back into middle class.

I've watched enough videos of law enforcement violating civil rights to know that accountability for their failure to uphold the Constitution is never immediate. Because cop culture fosters a mentality of "us vs. them" in the majority of cases.

I find it distasteful for large stores that make billions in profit a year to as me if I want to donate to causes when I am well aware that they likely contribute almost nothing to local economies.

I can't help but wonder what Trump thinks he can get out of regime change in Iran, and more specifically, what Netanyahu told him he could get.

Staying out of jail seems like it would be a great incentive to cheat to win an election. Until we get the hand recounts, I can't believe he won fairly- there is just too much evidence to the contrary.

Just got lectured by my spouse for "triaging" each of my ill parents. One is bedridden and has organs shutting down, another is wheelchair bound and Parkinsons is taking his speech and cognition, and the last has Alzheimers and has non regulated memory.My triaging helps me allocate time with them.

The people pushing for deporting ALL migrants sure aren't gonna like it when that same deportation force starts seeing their guns as a threat. And before you say it won't happen here, it will because fascism is universal.

IDk how any military member or veteran can be inspired by a DJT speech. He comes off as unprofessional, unknowledgeable, and altogether disingenuous. And because he is Commander in Chief, he thinks they have to obey EVERY order. And as a transactional narcissist- he does not comprehend ethics.

Can Congress please just 25th amendment DJT so we can forego the 2 year process of gaslighting us into believing JD Vance is the lesser of two evils? This FT Bragg politcal vetting of troops is beyond just unethical, it's dangerous.

It is my belief that Elon Musk corrupted the software of vote tabulators across the US and facilitated Trump winning the 2024 election. I can't prove it because state officials did not call for the recount due to the narrow margin of Trump's win. This feud could result in the truth being revealed.

It's possible that Musk goes nuclear and reveals HOW Trump won the election... and then departs the country.

"Our nation was once law and order" as it is claimed by many seeking a return to it. What they fail to realize is that corruption was as present during those times as it is now- but technology now provides the means for ALL to see it. Law enforcement needs oversight more than ever

Fly the plane into the ground and then blame the passengers for being too heavy. This is the current administration's approach to governance.

This administration is vindictive, petty, inefficient, and ultimately does not manage effectively and nor assumes accountability. They are destroying government with disinformation and the hostile assumption of power.
