Oligarchs Vs All Of Us (Ongoing Graphic Novel). FOTUS & Fiends ban beloved children's show, Sesame Street. Instead, our tax dollars pour into new right-wing brainwashing sensation--MAGA Street. Jesse Watters and other white dudes guest star. #PreachingMAGAEnglish

Jesse Watters on the TV giving children existential dread.

Mega Church weirdo teaches English as a MAGA language by carving Jesus into a tree..

A reminder that Project 2025 is the deadly right-wing menace our media still isn't covering. Spread the word. FOTUS isn't denying it anymore.🔥👇

Iceholes are cowards. Shameful attacks on peaceful protestors. We're paying violent tools six figures for this? #RefundAmerica #IceholesAreCriminals

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

Okay quick thread of the sort of stuff you'll get if you pay a modest monthly or yearly amount to read Gravity Is Gone:

Today's newsletter, about the shutdown and RIFs and how employees are so in the dark that their bosses want them to email UP the chain if they get fired.

Federal Employees Have Been Asked to Tell Their Bosses if They Get Fired

Multiple people at multiple agencies said their bosses have told them to email up the chain if they hear about RIFs, because, per one source, "they probably won't be told if people are fired."
