On November 7 2024 people should have been out on the streets en mass challenging the election results so that maybe their elected officials would have grown a backbone to challenge it. That is neither here or there, but hopefully a lesson learned for everyone in the US to stop being so passive.

Karine Jean-Pierre isn’t just leaving the Democratic Party—she’s rejecting the whole partisan box. In her words, “the danger we face… requires freeing ourselves of boxes.” It’s a warning about rigid politics in a moment that demands bigger, bolder thinking. Don’t get it twisted.

The narrative that “the vast majority voted for this” or that “the far left didn’t vote” or “more than half the country is racist” it’s all bullshit propaganda to keep you on your asses blaming each other instead of doing the needful, standing up to the Trump regime. Do not fall for the script.

This is what conmen do. They sell you on a package of lies, then burn you the first chance they get. Trump promised less government spending and lower costs. His big, ugly bill would explode the deficit and make health insurance more unaffordable for millions of Americans.

The Congressional Budget Office just confirmed that the Big Beautiful Bill is, in Elon Musk’s words, a “disgusting abomination.” This exposes Republicans’ lies — this bill will rip health care away from millions of people and jack up the debt to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
