There is no such thing as a good billionaire. They dont care about what is right or moral they only care about economic gain. Greed personified. They are the dragons sitting upon hoards of gold while the people starve. Our world will never know peace and justice until we slay these dragons

Why is no one talking about the stock market? The Dow lost 750 points in a single day. If a Dem was president now this would be the top story. We giving Trump a pass on this?

The South Korean Trump and the Brazilian Trump also claimed they won the elections that they lost, and also tried coups. They're both facing jail now. This is how functioning democracies deal with traitors.

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

As we watch the GOP dismantle the federal government with swift urgency, we must acknowledge the reason we are here is Dems do not move with that urgency. When Roe was overturned, Dems held the House, Senate, and White House. Instead of codifying Roe, they fundraised off of it.

AOC: The House is governed by a Republican majority. The Senate is governed by a Republican majority, and The White House has a Republican president. And if they want to pass their agenda, Republicans need to conjure up the votes to pass their own bills.

It’s weird to see y’all so upset about the current administration doing things that are “illegal” one the one hand, while also knowing a lot of our laws are nonsense meant to uphold class structures and quash resistance on the other. Maybe “it’s illegal” isn’t the most effective argument, folks.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.
