The vicious cycle of monopolization:
1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.

I’m done funding cruelty. Target cuts DEI, Amazon bankrolls this administration, and Home Depot lets ICE terrorize workers on their lots.
My money stays with small shops and people-first businesses. How about you? #WeAintBuyingIt

If there's one thing the mainstream news media love to overlook, it's the impact of the mainstream news media. The petite Tea Party in all its elite-backed astroturfiness was hailed like a sacred comet; the historically huge No Kings was played down by the NY Times, among other publications.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the new demented definition of human rights violations. Abortion and DEI policies are now human rights violations.
A ball of cells matters more than an entire human. Women’s lives do not matter.

This is the GOP's moral bankruptcy in one stunning soundbite. A Republican congresswoman justifies Trump's calls for executing Democrats by claiming "they started it" with a video reminding troops of their duty to refuse illegal orders.

2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.
These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

Did you see the fiasco going on at a Charlotte Home Depot, Rachel? People buying ice scrapers then getting back in line to return them.
Clogging up the works.
We can do this nationwide!

I don’t think it’s that divided here.
We in Charlotte have given them the same warmth of welcome as we would an outbreak of syphilis, which CBP and ICE resemble in so many ways.
