SOME FRIENDLY ADVICE: Limit the amount of time and energy you spend countering MAGA claims with facts. If facts mattered to them, they wouldn't be MAGA.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The amount of people out in the streets in large metro and key cities is impressive at this point. going to post a few more as I find them. The Chicago rally is one of the largest gatherings of people I’ve ever seen in this country from the live streams I’m watching.
No Kings protest kicking off in Washington, D.C. Here’s the view down Pennsylvania Avenue from near the front. Street is totally packed for blocks.

Trump speech today was the most dangerous speech ever given by an American president

those still claiming that “this was just a meeting that could’ve been an email” or any other form of downplaying what we are witnessing is downplaying the fascist threat we face.

Trump declared war against us
Breaking News: President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military should use U.S. cities as “training grounds” at an unusual meeting focused on culture wars. It was unclear why they needed to gather senior military leaders from overseas to tell them this face to face.

“Just wait for the midterms” was always going to fail when dealing with the fascist state.

Hope people realize that they are going to have to do far far more now than vote to get back any semblance of democracy

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Empathy is seen as weakness by those who want to excuse atrocity and violence at a scale that is unthinkable.

Having empathy is truly radical in an increasingly fascist “rationalized” society.

Do not let fear, anger and rage take away your empathy.

We deserve a President who would recognize the terrible tragedy in the TX floods and speak of our painful loss. And she would go there to comfort people and bring what resources are needed.

The vice president is openly saying they’re only goal is to fund the infrastructure of industrial death at all costs and that nothing else matters because their goal is to murder as many of their opposition as they can as quickly as they possible.

This is an admission of genocidal intent.

Today in Florida, when trump was asked, How long will detainees stay in the state?" he responded: "I'm gonna spend a lot. This is my home state. I love it. I'll spend a lot of time here."
If Joe Biden had ever screwed up that badly, the media would have called it proof of dementia.

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. “These immigrants will infest our country.” Said the grandson of a German immigrant, the son of a Scottish immigrant, currently married to a Slovenian immigrant and divorced from a Czech immigrant. You can’t make this shit up.
