Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Everything those assholes do is fake or forged. Not a single victory of theirs is legit.

Putin does not want you to know this:
At the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine controlled 23 regional capital and special-status cities.
It still controls all 23 today. Russia hasn’t managed to take a single one. 0/23!

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

When you do stuff like this and it isn't covered as the massive scandal it should be, the permission structure to do equally awful stuff is quite high.

Just want to remind the US Congress, because some of its members have clearly forgotten this, that the President of the United States cannot just go to war with another country because he feels like it. There is very definitely something in the Constitution about this (have a look: I checked).

Fascist House Republicans have now passed a bill that subjects immigrant children to invasive bodily searches as well as being able to hold them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
Child abuse, cruelty, fascism in every way. Party of Pedos strikes again.

You can see the pro-life party’s agents dragging a pregnant woman AFTER putting their knees into her body. This is happening. Don’t look away.
