I don’t know who needs to hear this but we didn’t all survive a Pandemic to give up hope on everything now. We need to step up and fight for those previous generations who aren’t here to battle on our behalf anymore. Remember: Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

I didn’t even know the voting machines were for SALE. What a RIDICULOUS country we have. Absolutely ridiculous.

Has anyone else stopped recycling?

I’ve done it for years but have inexplicably stopped. Maybe due to a lack of energy, maybe due to most recycling not being given much or a second life, but almost certainly due to lack of hope in the future.

A powerful personal testament from Tom Bowman of NPR about the Pentagon attempt to exert complete control over all information. Protecting classified is of course fine. But when neither Fox News nor NY Times sign up to your policy, you should ask yourself if you are getting something very wrong.

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scen...

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The Washington Post Is Running Out Of Readers Willing To Pay

Once a titan of American journalism, The Washington Post now struggles to reach even 100,000 print subscribers most days.

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 23h

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

Can someone Please check on the Capitol One guy?!?

In their latest ad, it’s shown he never leaves the office and is only able to have conversations about what’s in people’s wallets.

I think he may be a corporate prisoner, brainwashed—or worse trafficked!

So I ask: What’s in their Closet?

The year will be done in 2 1/2 months.

If you’re of the opinion that everything is expensive and everything is shitty, and nothing makes much sense anymore and the rules don’t work for those except the rich, and it’s all unfair and cruel and threatening to our safety.

Congrats.

You are normal!

Banks, hedge funds and private equity have always held a majority percentage of publicly traded companies and can stir the waters anytime by dumping their equity and buying back. They’re jealous they don’t get to OWN everything.

When people eventually dip into savings we lose skin in their game.

With all this talk about a stock market crash I can’t help but think that elites want to use scare tactics to fuck us out of our money. They know people will pull their money in a matter of time due to all the private and public sector layoffs. But prices have been high since people have held. 1/2

Kamala is all out of f*cks and I’m here for it 🔥

We see you, @codepink.bsky.social

Your paid performative agitators pop up on her book tour like they think we don’t know the VP’s job.

The VP doesn’t set Middle East policy, the President does. The VP’s role is to support the President, period.

Sure. But right now we need people that are fighters. We can’t have any more namby pamby finger waving from the likes of Schumer and Jefferies.

Verbal abuse is rife in polytricks. As long as she’s not physically abusing the staffers, frankly we need some hard asses to get this ship back on course.
