Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

Not surprised. My husband and I were in the market for a new car but we both decided to just keep up our 12 year old vehicle since our jobs may get affected by this crap.
US consumer sentiment dropped more than expected in February to a 15-month low and inflation expectations rocketed as households worried that President Donald Trump's plans for steep and broad-based tariffs would eat into their purchasing power reut.rs/41gv4Aq

You know if inflation keeps going up and we can't afford eggs...what's that saying about eating the rich?
This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

He said it; he said the word Oligarchy.
Look at Russia...look at what happened for centuries in France. The rich, with unchecked power, will disable us all.

With the dread ever present in my mind, I rewatched Rogue One yesterday. It's relevant to what we are facing. There are going to be days we give up & be disappointed in those we once admired. But we can't quit. I know 4 years is a long haul; but we can't give up. Rebellions are built on hope.

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless
