“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

As long as Americans are unwilling to sacrifice themselves, there will be no saving us from this. We all need to pay our rent, food, medicine, but if we don’t sacrifice now, we will sacrifice much more later. Worse is coming for us. There is no safe, convenient way to revolt.

Waking up all those in the country that aren't paying attention is the first step to a general strike. We need marketing geniuses to work some magic.

Another option is a hard core general strike where everybody stops working and paying bills. There is great power if we all just took a seat for a while. 👊

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake
