Now I wake up at 4 am too, but it’s not because of Jake brakes or train whistles. It’s the authoritarianism that wakes me so early — the constant hum of fascism creeping in. The loud sound of oligarchy.

Just like Biden changed out people on NLRB and made lots of policy changes to support unions and companies that support unions. You can’t change everything to everyone’s satisfaction overnight. So the party gets voted out, because enough didn’t change. Trump 1 and 2 are and were horrible for unions.

...at some point around the middle they came for John Bolton, and I did not speak out, because it kinda seemed like that dude belongs in prison.

The entire "presumption of regularity" can essentially be thrown out the window at this point.

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

One of the boats struck was a fishing boat from Trinidad-Tobago a small island close to Venezuela.
This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.
I just don’t remember state nationalism of industries being the American way. We have loaned companies money and been paid back, but not actually owned part of the companies with a side profit for Trump and friends of Trump.
Trump: "We're building a gravel road into this incredible place of rare earth. And I said, 'We should own a part of that company.' And then I do that and people criticize me, 'That's not the American way!' It is actually the American way."

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements
