"Let us fill the sky with the light of billions of brilliant stars. The light of optimism, of faith, of truth, and of service." - Kamala Harris

A time for ‘a look inward’, if ever there was one…👇 Thanks Canada, for a reminder that needs to be said, out loud! Introspection. Defined. ✨

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts. See how it works?

In Nazi Germany, everything Hitler did was legal. Opposing Hitler was illegal. In Russia, opposing Putin is illegal. In China, opposing Xi is illegal. In America, opposing Trump will be illegal soon. I wish more Americans would understand what's happening right now.

Why is Trump dismantling the federal workforce? I have some ideas. You can find them here. www.muellershewrote.com/p/trumps-sme...

Pls spend from now until Tuesday eve celebrating a truly great American: Martin Luther King Jr. Don't let a racist adjudicated rapist take away from MLK Day!

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010. It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

For those of you who haven’t encountered this guy yet, his videos are great educational antidotes to Christian nationalists and their pick-and-choose method of misinterpreting the Bible for wealth and power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAOb...

Until income inequality is addressed by lawmakers, it will continue to increase the wealth gap. Their tax loopholes, tax deferred salaries, and corporate stock buy backs must end. The only trickle down we feel is the piss stream of oligarchs. #USDEMOCRACY

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." -Benito Mussolini, fascist dictator

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. Let me explain.

Trump is talking about privatizing the USPS. There are already private postal services (Fed Ex, UPS, DHL, etc.), which you are free use if you want to. Privatizing the USPS would have disastrous consequences for Americans and businesses who rely on them. When you go private, profit is everything.

This is so spot on. As a climate scientist and public intellectual, I see or experience these often

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Best remake in history! Had to make it in two parts though. I will play this song every damn time a trump voter complains.

This is what Elon is offering America—and all he is offering. A return to America as a Robber Barony.

Bueller…The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?... raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression.

The government may try to deceive the people and the press, including newspapers, TV, and social media may do the same, but the truth has a way of coming out. Truth has a power greater than a hundred lies. FAFO.
