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.

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.

No Kings' Day protesting is as American as apple pie.

What's not American is bailing out Argentina with 20 billion dollars while military members wait in line at food banks.

Why are #Democrats so stupid? Why can't they learn from mistakes? Everybody hates @schumer.senate.gov & wants him to step down. He refuses. We wanted Wikler, we got Ken Martin. People want #Platner, we get Mills. Their insolence in forcing insiders on us will lose that #Senate seat. #Maine #inners

~1300 fired on a Friday, about half unfired the next day, due to an apparent “coding error”. But sure, your data will be secure.

They’re all in a competition for who can be the most maliciously incompetent. So much winning. Participation trophies for eveyone. Nobel Prizes in Nonsense.

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

The Dem establishment is going to back Mills over the absolute phenom outsider Platner in Maine, which tells you everything you need to know about how well they understand the current moment & how prepared they are to meet it.

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

When I posted a meme saying that we should support Tish James like we did Jimmy Kimmel, heaps of white people began attacking me. Not on Twitter, here on BlueSky. A whole bunch of guilt ridden, hit dogs came here to holler. The problem with America is that racism survives progressivism.

I just read an article saying that a legal resident was given a $130 ticket because he "didn't have his papers".

So, we're now at the "papers, please" stage of things. I'm a natural-born US citizen, and I'm carrying my passport now because of this crap.

How far we've fallen...
