Although dead, I still have a lot to say in favor of economic equality and justice. Live and let live. Fight fascists with your last breath.
Bernie is correct. This is also the guy that the Democrats undemocratically torpedoed TWICE in their own primary. Bernie is the candidate who could have won in 2016. But no, Saint Obama stepped in to save the corporations from such an odious outcome.

Democrats agree to end the shutdown because they *think* the Gopfascists will *agree* to talk about healthcare funding extensions *later*. Basically, they caved, which is the most Democratic politician thing to do on earth.

We have fascists in power because the Democrats have failed for DECADES.

Today, they hunt Latinos. Tomorrow, they hunt you. That's what fascists DO. You know that poem? That's the one. It's true.

Less than 1%: Plunder the entirety of society to enrich themselves like a dragon on its hoard of gold.

The rest: Please, sir, I'd like some more.

The corporate media: That's #socialism!

Yes, let's have some socialism. Stop rewarding greedy sociopaths.

More workers should strike. TSA, air-traffic control. Everybody, really. Why do we tolerate being treated like serfs? Unseat these would-be aristocrats. The French certainly did.
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95.8 million in 2024.

The median barista made just $14,674.

That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio.

The largest of all S&P 500 companies.

Every single worker should walk out.

Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!

Another big reason to worry about Bari Weiss’ tenure at CBS News www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
With the acquisition of Paramount/CBS by Oracle's Larry Ellison and the hiring of uber right ideologue Bari Weiss, no one should bother tuning in to CBS news. It's just another Fox clone

Do you remember when, after Reagan was shot and the lights were on but no one was home? Yet he served 2 full terms?

Feels familiar.

Why would Bill Gates all of a sudden say climate change isn’t bad?

Because he’s in the Epstein files.

When I saw "Tylenol Lawsuit" trending, I assumed that the makers of Tylenol had served Herr Brain-Worm.

But no.

Well, of course the royal family is mixed up with the scumball hoarders of wealth. Who do you think pays them?
Adil Ray, "Prince Andrew has given £12 million of his mum's money to someone he has never met before"

"Has renounced all his titles for something he didn't do"

"With the same person he's never met before"

"At the house of someone he was only friends with"

"To be polite"

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The East Wing demolition is the perfect metaphor for the destruction of our republic, and in particular, the role of women. That's the First Lady's wing.

Oh, and the House of Representatives is apparently excusing itself from governing, so screw balance of powers.

Yes, it was paid for by society's sociopaths. (aka billionaires)
October 22, 2025 at 6:23 PM
The East Wing is where the First Lady traditionally works. But under Project 2025, women aren't expected to work. In fact, they don't WANT them to work. So who needs an East Wing?

This is what they want to do to women in the workforce.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Yes, racism is the point. So is cruelty.
NEW: The Trump administration is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration, according to documents.

No Kings Day was great and all, but the coup has occurred. We're living it. A Saturday of protest isn't enough. Stop the machinery of capitalism. STRIKE. This is the only way to stop the fascist takeover. Americans are in for a great deal of pain, because the government won't reopen.
October 22, 2025 at 3:20 PM
Given that the government is closed and likely to remain that way, and that the House of Representatives is toast, TSA should strike. You're not going to be paid. Shut it down. Flex your power. Air traffic control: shut it down. American workers: SHUT IT DOWN. #GeneralStrike
October 22, 2025 at 3:17 PM
The government is closed and the regime has zero incentive to open it. Do you get that? King Dumpster Fire illegally stole money allocated for another purpose to pay the military, 'cause he's gonna need that military to do his bidding. Congress is DONE. Mike Johnson killed it.
October 22, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Speaker Mike Johnson won't open the House of Representatives. He likely *never* will. So it won't matter how many Democrats you attempt to elect. They will throw elections, and they simply won't open for business. I'd call this a coup.
October 22, 2025 at 3:14 PM
Exactly.

Americans are frustrated by representative democracy because the representatives just work for billionaires and corporations. I get it. But a dictatorship is the wrong solution. A better solution is DIRECT democracy, where we all vote directly. Switzerland does it. + it scares billionaires.
He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
