Anyone who is still considering themselves a member of the GOP at this point is either a traitor or a stooge of traitors. Guess what? If you are not woke, that means you are ASLEEP and contributing to our collective nightmare.

Meta laid off 3,600 employees last week, largely women, Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities. The savings from these firings were paid in huge bonuses to the senior-most management echelon. Of course major US media concluded this is not reportable news. fortune.com/2025/02/21/m...
