Although dead, I still have a lot to say in favor of economic equality and justice. Live and let live. Fight fascists with your last breath.
'The Democratic National Committee won’t release a review of its election loss in 2024, saying it would be a “distraction” from helping the party win going forward.'
In other words, "we think we can win on the status quo, even though voters said that's not what they want."

I don't care what the Orange Ass thinks about Rob Reiner. Stop giving the jerk attention. Deny him narcissistic supply. It's literally the worst thing you can do to a narcissist.
RIP, Rob. Meathead spoke to me and for me.

Don't listen to tech bros talking about how AI will improve your life. Unless they're all prepared to give every person on earth a generous Universal Basic Income, it will mean AI workers taking your jobs. It's already happening.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Sure, vote blue, but hold those f***ers to real change, not just pro-corporate status quo. Obama promised "hope and change," then bailed out the banks and gave us Republican healthcare with no public option. Remember that.

Bernie is correct. This is also the guy that the Democrats undemocratically torpedoed TWICE in their own primary. Bernie is the candidate who could have won in 2016. But no, Saint Obama stepped in to save the corporations from such an odious outcome.

Democrats agree to end the shutdown because they *think* the Gopfascists will *agree* to talk about healthcare funding extensions *later*. Basically, they caved, which is the most Democratic politician thing to do on earth.
We have fascists in power because the Democrats have failed for DECADES.

More workers should strike. TSA, air-traffic control. Everybody, really. Why do we tolerate being treated like serfs? Unseat these would-be aristocrats. The French certainly did.
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024.
The median barista made just $14,674.
That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio.
The largest of all S&P 500 companies.
Every single worker should walk out.
Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!

Well, of course the royal family is mixed up with the scumball hoarders of wealth. Who do you think pays them?
Adil Ray, "Prince Andrew has given £12 million of his mum's money to someone he has never met before"
"Has renounced all his titles for something he didn't do"
"With the same person he's never met before"
"At the house of someone he was only friends with"
"To be polite"

The East Wing demolition is the perfect metaphor for the destruction of our republic, and in particular, the role of women. That's the First Lady's wing.
Oh, and the House of Representatives is apparently excusing itself from governing, so screw balance of powers.

The East Wing is where the First Lady traditionally works. But under Project 2025, women aren't expected to work. In fact, they don't WANT them to work. So who needs an East Wing?
This is what they want to do to women in the workforce.

No Kings Day was great and all, but the coup has occurred. We're living it. A Saturday of protest isn't enough. Stop the machinery of capitalism. STRIKE. This is the only way to stop the fascist takeover. Americans are in for a great deal of pain, because the government won't reopen.

Given that the government is closed and likely to remain that way, and that the House of Representatives is toast, TSA should strike. You're not going to be paid. Shut it down. Flex your power. Air traffic control: shut it down. American workers: SHUT IT DOWN. #GeneralStrike

The government is closed and the regime has zero incentive to open it. Do you get that? King Dumpster Fire illegally stole money allocated for another purpose to pay the military, 'cause he's gonna need that military to do his bidding. Congress is DONE. Mike Johnson killed it.

Speaker Mike Johnson won't open the House of Representatives. He likely *never* will. So it won't matter how many Democrats you attempt to elect. They will throw elections, and they simply won't open for business. I'd call this a coup.
