Odds are good the 2026 Midterms will be canceled, even a greater chance for no elections in 2028. Even so, Who is gonna run to unseat these soulless cowards that run our government? Let’s start planning now! And if there is no election there will be a revolution.

“To be profitable, private prison firms must ensure that prisons are not only built but also filled,” local organizer Rick Hammett said. “Which is how you end up with a scare tactic over migrants to drum up a reason to put people in jail.”

If 3.5% of people protesting is enough to thwart authoritarianism, what would 3.5% of people refusing to pay federal taxes do?

40,000 US troops in the Middle East right now & any lingering faith that Iran + allies in Iraq, Yemen & beyond had in Trump’s dealmaking instincts is now shattered. Very hard to imagine Tehran agreeing with Trump that peace will now come; more likely they perceive an all-out war for regime survival.

NO WAR!!! Trump is the worst president in our history. Launching a war without congressional approval against Iran, launching a war against US citizens, launching a war against the environment, launching a war against the very government that he is in charge of. He must be impeached now.

"The estate tax changes in the current GOP tax bill will cost the federal government roughly $210 billion over the next 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation." Thats the funding for the healthcare and food stamps that Americans need #taxes

The GOP tax law would further weaken an estate tax that has been slowly whittled away over the last several decades.

Something to think about today:
When tipping was introduced in the US after the Civil War, it was so business owners could exploit formerly enslaved Black people and make tips replace wages entirely for Black workers.
Economic and racial justice go hand in hand.
