Let us call for a general strike!

Oh. We’re so, so fucked. Beyond fucked. Incredibly fucked.

They’re using the hostages to try and justify their anti-democratic movement. Not in our name

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

"This has been a tough week for those who believe diversity is our strength, immigration built America, we should take pride in our capacity for generosity and decency, and free speech and due process are at the heart of our commitment to democracy & justice." www.americaamerica.news/p/whose-amer...

Why is the Republican Party blocking married women from voting? Simple. More women vote Democrat than Republican. ================================

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

Okay Bernie @sanders.senate.gov It’s time to call for a general strike.

To ARMS!!! To ARMS!!!

Someone in the crowd is in medical distress while nurses are on stage at the fighting oligarchy rally. The nurses rush off stage to give medical aid

. This isn’t just a crisis it’s Grift-a-Palooza headlined by one of the most corrupt administrations in U.S. history. If Dems want to prove they’re serious, now’s the time for a ruthless, unapologetic anti-corruption blitz. Stop playing nice. Burn it down. .

Gynger is making a great point

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

America’s system of chattel slavery is very recent history and has been reformatted via the 13th Amendment and the U.S. system of the mass incarceration of Black people.

Honestly, those worried about Easter egg prices go to Costco. They not only pay fair wages, part time and full time jobs are awesome, benefits they also have eggs for under $8.00 for 18 eggs. They support DEI and are a company that has online shopping as well as in store. 1/2 #ShopCostco
