So… a draft dodger is getting a military parade with money he is stealing from things like cancer research… 🤔

It's wild that there are 8.2 billion people on this planet right now and one solitary dumbass is singlehandedly blowing up the world economy

Come back Jesus!!!

BREAKING: THE SAVE ACT passes the House — which will disenfranchise millions of voters…including 60 million women. A total DISASTER for DEMOCRACY! Permanent. GOP. Control. ✨

Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

If people had just voted for Gore, Obama, Hillary, and Harris, we’d be light years ahead of where we are.

“Duh Vaczenz Did It”

I wonder what Martha Stewart would say about all the insider trading going on at the White House.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

The reason empty townhalls work is because it is direct action toward your local lawmaker. You aren’t a random protester. You aren’t a random person calling their office. You are a constituent demanding action. Demand your local lawmaker do better, or shame them in their own district.

These are the Democrats who voted for the SAVE act which will disenfranchise tens of millions of people, including married women who changed their maiden name: Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) Ed Case (Hawaii).

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Gotta say, I am not encouraged that SCOTUS has not yet resolved the El Salvador kidnapping case.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

The problem is sociopathic corporate greed. 🧐

We should ☠️ people like this with no remorse?

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

They’re straight up lying to Americans

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

And the free speech nut jobs are silent

The President has chosen to intentionally crash the U.S. economy and financial system by doing things which have been ridiculed in every intro macroeconomics class for the past 80+ years. Those with the power to stop him refuse to do so because they hate minorities.

We’re done with fake outrage

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

It’s time he’s removed

OK so we know he is salivating at the chance to to give the order for Martial Law. You should realize at that point we have to go harder at him. He can't jail or kill millions. He sure can make examples if there are only hundreds.

“Why do you criticize the left so much?” Because the right wing are either dumbasses or demons and the Dems seem pretty married to bipartisanship at this point (though it does seem like their voters are getting disillusioned at this point). I criticize the left because it NEEDS to become viable.

An innocent man was sent to an El Salvadorian prison and the Supreme Court just decided not to bring him back. The rot in this country, in our politics & courts is so much deeper than one man. Do not let their lack of humanity corrode your own. The real question is what are we willing to sacrifice?

it hasn't even been a full three months. imagine an entire year of this. and multiple years after that. this is not sustainable.

A lot of people seem to be under the belief that the post-war factory jobs their parents and grandparents had were good jobs because they were masculine and tough instead of, say, protected by a union under a progressive tax rate and a massive surplus

It’s hard to grasp the level of self-deception it takes to vote third-party, claim “both parties are the same,” and then watch a President strip away due process and crash $10 trillion off the global economy—only to still sleep soundly at night.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

DING DING FUCKIN DING

make no mistake, they want to normalize genocide because genocide is exactly what they have planned for the rest of us

All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.

No. No to harmful tariffs. No to cutting Medicare and SNAP. No to ignoring due process. No. No. No.

So the kidnapped people sent to El Salvador . . . those are life sentences. Or what? There were no trials.

Show of hands: who else “feels” this horrifying deportation shit in their bodies? I have to turn off news right now with this SCOTUS death camp shit. I cannot. I know empathy is super uncool, but I’m a professional “give a shit about others” person and this is agonizingly painful.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
