Here’s an example of how not to speak to me. This condescending doomerism is unattractive and unproductive. “Oh sweetie, just roll over and give up” is a shitty message.
Exactly. Bless her heart, she and others want so badly for the country to not have fallen. At some point they’re going to have to acknowledge the facts. I hate it happened, but it did. Until everyone can acknowledge we have to use plans that DONT involve laws (that they won’t honor) we’re fucked.

‘25 was summed up in an incident I observed this summer.
A woman with 3 toddlers parked her Escalade in a fire lane. As they exited the vehicle, her daughter said “I don’t think we’re supposed to park here.”
The mother replied “Trump is our president, we can park anywhere we want.”
She got towed.

The fact is, Vladimir Putin has this hold over Traitor & Betrayer Donald Trump that makes Trump and the American government into basically a de-facto ally of Russia.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

In Silicon valley over break and have to say this place makes no sense. Its like one big suburb with blah strip miles and low slung commercial "historic" "downtowns."
The great irony of tech companies complaining about Europe is they live in a place where you literally can't build anything.

BREAKING: Trump says that the U.S. has “knocked out” a Venezuelan facility on land.
And this is the dude who thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
How many wars is this that he ended now?

I didn't vote for this, and none of you guys who pretend to be "America First" did either.

A quick reminder that Trump's jack-booted ICE and Border Patrol thugs are fucked once he leaves office. It typically takes five or more years for the statute of limitations to run out, and many will be prosecuted at the state-level, meaning a presidential pardon can't save them.

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

Something people will tell you, and be believed (!), is that in the past, poor people had it much worse and that therefore, no matter how much you are struggling, at least you aren’t starving to death or whatever, and so you shouldn’t complain about your situation or try to improve it in any way
