A friend in Florida stopped at a 7-Eleven to use restroom. Sign on the door said "real women only", and she had to get a key from the guy at the counter who then gave her a "gender check", looking her up and down...in order to get the key. I'm mad. And just as mad that I'm in Oklahoma right now.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Proud to support @gayforcongress.bsky.social to replace Matt Gaetz! Make sure you get out to vote on April 1st to support Gay Valimont. If we win this race we could flip the house so it’s critical everyone get out and vote.

If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, he will have the power to deploy the US military within US borders against the people. Now is the time, military members, to learn your rights and to gather information on legal counsel in case you're given an unlawful order.

Think about that. He’s claiming to have authority that exceeds the supreme law of the land. He’s saying he’s a king or a god. Yes, that pile of orange shit thinks he’s on one end or the other of the divine right of kings. Impeach. Convict. Remove. And do it before he starts shooting Americans.

Everything Trump is doing, EVERYTHING — is to give tax cuts to himself, Elon Musk and the billionaires who funded him. We are witnessing the plundering and pillaging of the America created by FDR after the Great Depression. 1/2

Unconfirmed rumor that DOGE has started monitoring badges at SSA and at other agencies (FEMA was specifically mentioned) and if an employee leaves for lunch and badges back into the building more than thirty minutes after they left, fired. Same with breaks. Gone more than 15 minutes, fired. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

DOGE scrubbed a long-dead contract from its site—the same place it’s been posting phony “receipts” to fake success. Do they not understand how government works, or are they lying to the public? My opinion: These aren’t mistakes. They’re trying to dupe us.

Today in Rhode Island, a federal judge told Trump to stop impounding funds allocated by Congress. It’s about more than just the money; it’s about making sure the president doesn’t make a grab for powers that belong to Congress under the Constitution. joycevance.substack.com/p/courts-to-...

So, the billionaire-appointed centimillionaire in charge of our Treasury wants all those “price of eggs” voters to know that it’s no big deal that everything is more expensive now because paying less for shit isn’t actually the “American Dream.” Is MAGA really that fucking dumb?

Well Walgreens is fixing to go to shit and then close in a few years after they squeeze every last fucking penney they can out of it. Private Equity firms should be fucking illegal. Everyone knows it's a fucking scam to make a plile of money and walk away leaving someone else holding the bag.

Last share: Probably a good idea if you get your meds at Walgreens that you switch to some other place . If there's one thing I have learned over the years about private equity it's that it always marks the beginning of the end of whatever is acquired by it.

Again, what’s worst about this isn’t that Trump is a petty and narcissistic freak supported by sycophants — that’s already priced in — but that so many Americans are willing to demean themselves by pretending this is okay. Trump thrives because America has so many shitbirds.
