All the people who put their names to Project 2025 are vandals, not patriots. This government they detest so much has locked in their class & color privilege for nearly our entire 250 year history. Their threats are irrelevant. What matters is what we do.
THE TIMES ARE CHANGING, BUT NOT REPUBLICANS.

Republicans kneel to a flatulent old man. A man remarkable only for ignorance, cruelty, & pettiness. They expect the rest of us to bow down to him, too. The architects of Project 2025 have warned us outright. They say their "revolution" is inevitable & will be bloodless as long as we "let it be."

I think AOC nailed when she rebranded "toxic" masculinity as "insecure" masculinity. No wonder little men like Stephen Miller hate her so much. She sees them as they really are.

Very clever. Ridiculing the Bozo Bullies is much more fun that wasting a good sandwich on any of them.

Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times yes.

She was a kind, unpretentious lady. That's for sure. What a charming story. Thank you for sharing it.

A hate America rally? That's what Speaker Mike & the other Trump Royalists have decided to call our NO KINGS PROTEST. If he called it by its true name, Speaker Mike is smart enough to know that his argument would be lost for sure. The only people who hate America are those who'd kneel to a king.

All those so-called checks and balances don't seem to have been enough to keep the greed of Republicans and their billionaire donors in check. The rich keep doing this again and again. Eventually they ALWAYS push the people too far.

Just like he put his own name on that first batch of stimulus checks, right?

The corporations who swore never to support the insurrectionist Republicans who refused to certify the 2020 election results because they didn't like them talked the talk. But when it came to walking the walk, they pulled a Double Disney on us. CORPORATE MONOPOLIES ARE UNAMERICAN.

Another dumb SCOTUS years ago came up with the fanciful notion that corporations were people. Even though they can't die, get cancer, or constipation, corporations have the same rights as other people. If Frankenstein had called his creation a corporation, would it have been less of a monster?

Of course, the Emperor has now voided whatever was left of Biden's IRA, ensuring that Americans will not be able to have the good things they'd hoped for. In a free-trade world, Americans could buy China's DYB, the world's most efficient EV, for 20K. Not settle for overpriced losers like Tesla.

Wonder if MAGA knows how China became the world's powerhouse in electronics? Cheap Chinese labor appealed to them, so Apple & other corporations poured billions into training a workforce now unrivaled in the world. The equivalent of 10 of Biden's Inflation Reduction Acts made China great.

It's amazing, isn't it, that she should turn out to be the reasonable one?

Why can't something like this be on the wall of every schoolroom in America? Or better yet, exactly this, word for word?

House & Senate Republicans are warning the Fox & Newsmax crowd about the gathering of "George Soros-financed domestic terrorists" scheduled for October 18. Not a one of them dared to mention the name of the October 18 protest, for fear that it would expose their own treason. AMERICA HAS NO KINGS.

Unexpected cracks in the MAGA dictatorship hustle? Oklahoma's Gov. Kevin Stitt just pointed out the emperor's naked butt. On Trump's deploying Texas national guard to Chicago, Stitt remarked: Oklahomans would have gone crazy if Biden had ever sent Illinois guard troops to Oklahoma.
IT'S A START.

It's a short step from occupying cities with ICE and Slave State National Guard Troops to a declaration of martial law and no more elections. And just a hop from rubber bullets to full metal jackets. There's a method to the Emperor's madness. And it's name is Stephen Miller.

Don't forget that Thiel's another one of the Rightful Rulers of the World who's been to Epstein's Island of Carnal Delights. Strange how Epstein was such a magnet to that bunch, right? Billionaires have always fucked us over. Little girls -- and boys, too -- have never been safe around them.

And what do Kristi Noem's highly-trained ICE agents do when they are assaulted by ridicule? They gather on rooftops & fire rubber bullets at protesters below for kicks. Rubber bullets can leave you black & blue for a week. Unless they hit you in a soft spot like your eye. In which case, you die.

Norway's in big trouble now. Expect million percent tariffs on Norwegian Wood (Isn't it good). Also, a shout out to the White House staff tasked with washing down the dining room walls.

Doing something about the lunatic criminal who's hired all the other treacherous miscreants who are making all of our lives harder than they have to be is just part of it. Do something about the criminal SCOTUS justices who violated the law by according Trump immunity. They are his accomplices.

Black Americans have more intimate knowledge than most of us about what it's like to live in a police state. How ironic that all those great musicians like Buddy Guy & Howlin' Wolf managed to escape the slave states, make it to Chicago, only to have Donald Trump now send in the Slave State Guard.

Good job, Mr. Frost. Here's hoping that Democratic leadership pays attention to your clear messaging. They need help.

The Republicans always take us to Opposite Land. They tell us that we have it so good while they rob us blind. From the reception they're getting at their own town halls, all the gerrymanders in the world can't save them come the midterms. But ICE & Hegseth's war fighters will most likely try.
