I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

Dutton’s Liberal Party’s campaign launch led with the policy that we need another audit of First Nations… who are the most audited group in society. I can’t think of a better example of institutional racism?

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

These four Americans were killed in Lithuania. They were brought back home yesterday. Their President flew to Florida to make a deal with the Saudi golf tournament. Also their President when asked about them in the Oval Office said “I’ve no idea about them”. 😡

Booker is the hero America needs right now. It’s not just that he’s talked for that long, but it’s the passion and conviction of his words that meet the moment.

The amazing thing about the Cory Booker clips we’re seeing is that 20+ hours in — this man is still firmly ON MESSAGE. By this point in most filibusters, people are just rambling or reading Dr. Seuss. youtu.be/0HJuaQL3KRI?...

Peter Dutton has made his first major announcement of the 2025 election, promising to put forward, and then walk back, at least two million hastily-developed proposals for nation-wide referendums within the next five years.

No, just no. Politicians shouldn't have this power. We have due process and separation of duties for a purpose imagine the horrific political decisions for those who can't be appeased by thus it creates an incredibly violent and reactive system (Not to say it isn't but it can be worse)

Spent a couple of hours door-knocking in Labor’s marginal seat of Boothby. Met some really engaged and interesting people. If you’ve never been out and campaigned, it can be intimidating to get started. But just know 99% of people are welcoming of the chance to be informed about the election! 🗳️
