Get. The. Money. Out. Of. Politics.
People are losing their jobs and savings, prices are rising higher, and the entire economy is on the brink of disaster—but Donald Trump couldn’t care less.

His billionaire political donors will be just fine.

A good day to, coincidentally, be wearing Levi’s.
💥 NEW by me: Levi's Board of Directors defends DEI, tells shareholders to vote on April 23. Levi's Board:

“we believe in the strong business case for a diverse and inclusive workforce... it is a competitive advantage and serves as a driver of business results.”

The cruelty is the point.
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

I'm thinking about this very nearly every hour on the hour.
Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Join 50501 in a National Day of Action on Monday, February 17th. We are reclaiming President's Day - a day that is supposed to be celebrating the Presidency. Unite to limit executive overreach. Find your protest at https://buff.ly/417VjtT, or create one.

You know, the Barbie movie's critique of patriarchy as infantile and insecure males trying to validate themselves by wielding power they're ill-equipped to handle is sure looking spot-on these days.

Dismissal of the Inspectors General violates the law. We already have an impeachable offense.

On Star Trek Discovery several years back, a character name dropped and praised Elon Musk. But then--I shit you not--it turned out that character was from the alternate dimension where everyone is evil. We were warned.

For me, it’s not so much whether or not companies have DEI policies but whether or not they’re changing their policies in a cowardly attempt to curry favor with these fascists.
