It’s time to take the power back from corrupt politicians that refuse to look after the welfare of the people. It’s time to show them we don’t, in fact, need them at all. We can do it ourselves. Setting up financial backend now but sign up for updates. We will directly support science.

In my state, about 2/3 of owner-occupied homes have a mortgage, meaning the “owner” is a combination of the occupant and the bank/lender that holds the mortgage. But the occupant pays 100% of the property tax. Here’s another tax giveaway to the oligarchs…

Preliminary levies around the state add up to $948 million more than what property owners paid in 2025. The increases could still get shaved down as local governments hold hearings to allow for public...

Interesting that 24 hours after bombshell Epstein email releases I’m now seeing almost no posts about Epstein. Back to cat pictures, what people had for breakfast, and the extremely minor grift of senators voting themselves a few hundred k. You would think 2/3 of posts would be related Epstein today

At this point, wouldn’t ANY reasonable person that is concerned about heinous crimes against children withhold further support from Trump until the matter is fully investigated? Like, just withhold further support until the files are out and we know one way or the other the extent of it?

While oligarchs propose 50 year mortgages, I have a proposal for the working class.
Since the banks own a large share of people’s home equity (for anyone that has a mortgage), they should pay a proportional share of the property tax. Yet another way the wealthy avoid paying taxes.

In ‘01 when Bush passed his tax cuts and sent out $300 checks to the working chumps of this country, I knew it was a scheme to impoverish the working class while further enriching the rich. I refused my $300 and used it to buy a $300 gift card to the grocery store for the single mom next door.

So we have the Vietnam War memorial honoring the 58,000+ that died during the entire Vietnam War. I think it would be fitting to build a similar memorial every year for the 51,000 Americans that will die because of the healthcare cuts, and we can engrave all Dem and GOP that made it happen in stone.

While those Senate Dems caved, I do believe that this will hasten the swearing in of the new Congresswoman from Arizona and the release of the Epstein files. Wait, who am I kidding, they’ll find a way to botch that too.

The oligarchs are addicted to accumulating wealth and it is destroying society. The only cure is to take the wealth away, cold turkey.

While winning elections is great, let’s avoid the yo-yo of, phew, things are getting better, I can go back to my normal life. The key to sustainable political change is to look inwards at ourselves and make sustainable changes in our lives and our awareness. Ego on either side causes bad outcomes.

What if there was a law banning owning second homes or allowing any corporate-owned housing unit from being vacant if there are any homeless people? I feel like suddenly they would find a way to end homelessness. Same for food insecurity. 100% tax rate on income above $500k until it doesn’t exist.

What if income tax was at least partially based on your physical location? Rural people really resent paying taxes that support people in cities. So don’t make them pay for that, it’s not a big loss since rural areas are a small fraction of the population, and they make little money. And vice versa!

With the latest polls showing Trump’s approval at historic lows of ~35%, we find ourselves in the strange circumstance where there are more “minorities” than Trump supporters in America. Is this some sort of invisible Rubicon?
