This switch is coming to the US whether the billionaires want it to or not. Don campaigned on this, but he was lying and he was always going to keep siphoning money to the top, that's where he wanted to be. Someone else is coming who will campaign on this for real and mean it #socialism #wethepeople
Why We Never Hear About the Countries Where Socialism Works

This resonated with me bcuz like many others who may vote differently from their parents, this happened to me too. Several years ago when he still had his wits about him my dad made an offhand comment about me and my oldest sister and how he “had no idea how 2 of his kids ended up being so liberal”.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

It is chilling to be reading this novel while the beginnings of fascism start to spread in the US at this very moment. No time like the present to read about what is coming next. Join me as I find out how to prevent it from happening here next.

This photo stopped me in my tracks and is absolutely heartbreaking. Renee Good was a mom of 3 with a 6 yr old in school at the time. A tragedy no one should ever live through. We all have to reflect on what these ICE operations are doing to our humanity, safety and trust in govt.

ICE is a terrorist organization. It needs to be put down now.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Charlie Kirk was an asshole and hated America. He should not have been shot. He was a fascist and a neonazi. All these things can be true at the same time.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Struggling president Donald Trump thought he could outrun his past. But when his closest ally, Jeffrey Epstein, is exposed as a convicted pedophile, he's left desperate, alone, and haunted by the truth.

Forgetting Jeffrey Epstein is coming to a theater near you. Get tickets now 🎟️

Is back-alley-Bobby still on heroin? It sure seems like it. Watch him twitch, rasp, squirm, and wheeze. This drug addict should be fired and sent back to rehab.

A few hundred people from all four quadrants of Washington, D.C., plus Maryland and Virginia, gathered Thursday to protest the federal involvement in local matters.

“Free D.C.!” The crowd near U and 14th Streets NW chanted. One sign read, “Hands off D.C.!”

2026 will be the year that a bank unveils its first "mortgage for a new car" program. An innovative and cutting-edge solution for typical consumers who totally NEED a brand new car (not in any way collusion between big banks and the big 3 automakers)

Let’s break this down: The top law enforcement agent in the United States of America said that she had, on her desk, a list of the worlds most powerful people who were having sex with minors. Then, the president’s top advisor and richest man in the world says President Trump is on the list.

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.
