We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Go for it! It’s time for the maga gop cult attitude to finally hit a wall of JUSTICE! That word strikes terror into the hearts of Trump’s peeps! He’s got immunity, BUT, his peeps don’t! His Wall is documented w/so much abuse & corruption, this time, Humpty Dumpty may slip off his own Wall!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Read abt Paul Weyrich, American political activist (1942–2008). His most famous idea is that when fewer people voted over all, the GOP does better!
Hence, the basis for continued attacks against the VRA! GOP must curtail the # of people who vote to win! THIS IS WHY THE GOP IS AGAINST THE VRA!

Tear gassing Catholic Priests & Nuns while praying & firing a rubber bullet from a 2nd story rooftop at a Priest on the ground who was praying & hitting him in the head is not “crossing the line yet”? If Catholics don’t count, what if it were your Minister? Abuse of Power is an impeachable offense!

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Many arrests like this in 2025! I truly wonder how pervasive these behaviors are in the maga gop cult communities? House Speaker Johnson & his “teen son” share a computer app measuring how much time they watch pornography so they don’t watch too much! Sexual abuse should never, ever, be normalized!

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
