White supremacy is not just discrimination against POC. It is a REQUIREMENT of capitalism.
It creates a caste system, under which each group of living beings is categorized, from white wealthy men, to POC, to poor whites, to domestic and wild animals, to nature.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The ACA has been financially devastating for millions stuck in the gig economy.
They owe thousands in taxes bc they were unable to predict their income or afford good tax preparation assistance.
Therefore back taxes for individuals & small biz with income/profits less than $250k must be canceled!

They chose to do otherwise.

So, Trump's "loyal" DOJ is forking over $500,000 to each MAGA Republican who had their phones searched in the Jan 6th investigation. And he had his DOJ give $230 million for legal expenses (or something). Trump can empty our Treasury w/o Congressional approval? Our tax dollars by the fistful?

If they agree to follow illegal orders, then they are liable for prosecution, abandoning the oath they gave. Following illegal orders makes them no better than Hitler's gestapo.

65% of veterans voted for Trump in 2024.
When will they learn that the GOP - especially the MAGA GOP - does not care about them? How many times does Trump have to insult them as "losers" and "suckers" before they learn?
Vets, you deserve better than the GOP will ever give you.
Vote accordingly.

Coming out of last Tuesday’s election blowout, the Democrats were riding high and unified. But on Sunday night, centrist Senate Democrats, with Chuck Schumer’s tacit encouragement, voted to reopen the government on Republican terms.
