People like Elon aren’t wealthy. All they have is money. What a sad little man, to have so much and yet so little.

“Make them outlaw you. We will stand behind you. I will get arrested with you.” This messaging should be in their faces constantly. Every day, to every elected leader, at every event, without end. We tell them who we are, and maybe they will be empowered to remember who they are supposed to be.

Hell of a drug, ketamine. Especially when you do this much this often. Those aren’t sunglasses btw, those are just his pupils blown open so wide they’re flipping his face inside out.

“MAGA is explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.” My man. This is some of that good trouble John Lewis talked about. @chriswarcraft.bsky.social, you’re more of a leader than 90% of our congress.

Right in front of our eyes, we’re seeing the destruction of the US, and the beginning of a dictatorship run by a career criminal & his enablers, drawn from the worst among us. Nobody seems to be taking effective action against this, while many calmly accept this fate like lambs led to the slaughter.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Poor Red Hat votes Trump. Poor Red Hat owns libs, celebrates. Fox News and Trump say: Hate libs. And brown people. And trans people. Banks roll back overdraft cap. Poor Red Hat overdrafts account. Poor Red Hat gets hit with big fee. Poor Red Hat blames libs. And brown people. And trans people.

True words.

Is your crumbling democracy missing a jingle? This dude has you covered.

At the end of the day, this. What kind of person has access to all those resources, with the financial power to just…end…so much strife for so many, to cement his legacy for all time, and instead decides to be a fucking Bond villain?

Oh look, it’s my folks talking to their grandkids. Nah, kidding. They got the boot when they sided with a traitorous rapist. Sad to say it took me three times to learn that lesson.

This is some textbook Fascism. But to take a different look at this, does that mean if someone Luigis him, that it’s not illegal? Because I think he said if someone Luigis him, that it’s not illegal.

“Ooh look, the Democrats brought decorum and a strongly worded letter to a FUCKING FIST FIGHT.” @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social Stop saying. Start doing.

While being told the toddler is the only one qualified, *and* you deserve to get shot

This might as well be the county I live in, except most of them around here are clinging far too hard to their bigotry and racism to be honest enough to say they’d make a different choice. As always, I hope you get everything you voted for.

Billion dollar corporations will really say they can’t afford to raise wages and then go pay their CEOs 290 times what they pay workers.

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Kendrick Lamar has 22 Grammies and a damn Pulitzer if you don’t know who he is that’s a You problem

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

From @tizzyent.bsky.social’s YT account. The content is…unsurprising. Top comment: “Trump didn’t make his supporters act like this. This is who they’ve always been. They just feel emboldened not to hide it anymore.” This. I see this in the world around me EVERY DAY. I have since his first term.

Might be my favorite thing I’ve seen today.

I like football too. I like fun new mini-movies too. I like seeing men throw fits about Taylor Swift existing. I like Kendrick Lamar. I like seeing people boo that orange muppet. You know what I like more than all that? When capitalism gets hit in the nuts. I’m not watching. You shouldn’t either.

This woman should be leading the party. Schumer and Jeffries are patting themselves on the back about cutesy named legislation and complaining about rule breaking with their thumbs up their asses, and AOC is communicating to the country and giving people actionable things they can do.

It’s all of them, every Republican who put party above country, and every Democrat who put greed and self-interest above all else to look away or compromise. For the past 40+ years. And with people screaming warnings from the rooftops the entire time. Greed, all of it. Capitalism is the bad guy.

Movie 7. I was 16, the world was a different place, and I was just starting to gain political understanding beyond “my parents voted for ___ so I will too.” This one…this one made wealth inequality and organizing accessible to many, and still holds up near 30 years later. #movies #moviesky #filmsky

“Stop looking at the brown ones and the baby growing one and pay attention to meeeee!” Nothing has the same blend of delicate and dangerous as the ego of a scared shitless hateful white guy with a confidence problem.

The means of production aren’t going to seize themselves. I’ve been pro-2A since ever (rural midwesterner), and it’s nice to see others realizing that if you go far enough left, you get your guns back.
