Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

We can’t blame any nation for not trusting the United States under Trump.
I just hope they forgive us after he’s gone, quickly.

“I truly hope that people will stay calm, will not panic, and will remember that the international community is made of 193 states, and this is the time to give the US what it has been looking for – isolation!”

PARDONS FOR SALE
Trump has turned presidential pardons into a shopping experience, with lobbyists openly quoting a going rate of $1 million and a faster “track” if you can corner him at Mar-a-Lago or a White House event.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.
But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.
A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?
