I frickin’ love Chicago

Being aware of icebergs is WOKE

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This is an excellent resource. It shows in black and white what's happening in the courts in response to the insanity.

We can either have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few or democracy, but not both. This graphic demonstrates the Republican CONservative trickle-down Reaganomics fraud to hoard Americas wealth, kill the middle class, and gut government. Learn more and share: connectthedotsusa.com

We can't afford air traffic controllers, but we can afford a $200 million government ad campaign thanking Trump. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Trying to manage the overwhelming feelings of dread that surface every time I think about America and our future

Remember, everything is part of the same story. They need to destroy our democracy and crush dissent because letting billionaires take over the government in order to steal from us isn't popular and a functioning democracy wouldn't allow it.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Ok that made me laugh

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.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Imagine you have over $400 billion and you spend your time working to deny hungry children around the world meals to avoid starvation.

Let em fuckin have it 👇👇👇👇👇

Ah, simpler times... when scammers called your grandma, and she mistakenly gave them her Social Security number and bank information. Now, not only has the government stolen your Social Security information, but it has also disbanded the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

True words.

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

This needs to happen.

Senator Charles Grassley's voice mail is full. Hmm...

This says it all

Yes, they need to do this 👇👇👇!!

It’s quite something, to feel gaslit by your own country.

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?
