South African immigrant Elon Musk is going to try to rehabilitate his image and quietly slip away from politics, but we'll never forget the chaos and disaster he unleashed on America. Americans must boycott all his businesses indefinitely.

A reminder about what progressives stand for: living wage / an economy that serves everyone, universal healthcare, income equality, clean air & water / environmental protections, civil / human rights, cooperative international partnerships and anything for the common good.
What does MAGA stand for?

Someone asked me a good question on here. How do we stop ICE from violating our constitutional rights. We don't. Our local elected officials do that job. Our Governor, or Sheriffs our mayors, Police. They stop ICE. With force if necessary. That's how you stop ICE from pulling us out of our homes.

Blue states need to start developing a plan to withhold federal tax dollars. Create a blue state banking system & payroll service; start shielding blue state residents from the IRS/paying taxes; create tax shelters, etc. We need a tax revolution now!

Costco is suing the Trump administration to recover the illegal tariff money levied on imported goods. They still need SCOTUS to rule that Trump exceeded his authority, but Costco is taking a stand now. Thank you to one of the few good corporations 💪

Live a sustainable lifestyle while removing your support for the capitalist oligarchy: buying something new should be the last resort. Instead: make do without, mend & repair, buy second hand, etc. As consumers we have the power in this consumption driven economy.

A few days’ boycott won’t bring down the oligarchy, but at least it will send them strong message. We are in control!

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Democratic socialist not a communist! It drives me crazy when they purposely lie about these specifically defined ideologies.

Hopefully, all our California law-enforcement has been trained in protecting Californians against the fascist, Trump administration and their thugs. We must prepare… It’s only going to get worse!

Over 100 billion of our tax dollars at work. The Trump ICE gestapo must be abolished. Democrats need to retake the house and the Senate in 2026 to become a bulwark against these atrocities.

We need to build on this momentum. Elect progressive Democratic candidates in the primaries, support them in every way we can leading up to the midterms and then get out the vote in 2026! Build this blue wave into a tsunami!🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

Two yes votes in our household - already mailed and counted. California will get this done! We are not going to fall for Republican propaganda. Republicans are cheating, lying, gaslighting and completely corrupting the federal government. We need to fight back! No time for being timid 💪💙💙💪

Democratic socialist policies are common sense for the working class. The oligarchy & our stifled, frozen, corrupt political system will not advance our needs. We need real structural reforms for regular Americans in this country & Democratic socialism is the answer - successful in other countries.

Here is a positive thing the 65% of Americans that have stocks can do: Ask your retirement fund manager or broker if they offer proxy voting. If they do, they probably offer an option that will vote for environmental, social & governance practices (ESG).

bsky.app/profile/thin...
Do you own a Vanguard ETF fund? You can take back control of how your proxy vote is counted (Musk's 1 trillion pay package at Tesla, for instance). This is a powerful, direct way to have influence on the capitalist system. Profile-> Accounts&Trading-> Proxy Voting-> Choose: ESG.
Do it now, share!

Among the many things that are terrible about this regime is that soon we are going to experience an economic depression. Everyone except the oligarchy is going to suffer. Americans’ standard of living will plummet & expose us to either expanded fascism/autocracy or a “new deal” of egalitarianism.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

California and other blue states need to start keeping more of our federal tax dollars at home. Start a state payroll/banking system? Defy and shield Californians from the IRS? Taxation without representation is not sustainable! We are tired of funding the abusive fascist federal government.

The Republican Congress has completely abdicated its authority to the fascist president. They are doing long-term damage to the most directly representative part of United States democracy. This is leading towards an illegitimate federal government.
