Can anyone image Biden telling the American people to buy Bud Light in front of the White House? And that it's 'illegal' to protest or boycott?

Elon Musk just bought Trump the election for $250 million—and it’s completely legal. You can thank Citizens United for this!
The other tech titans are all playing along too, throwing their money into the game. Their motive is power and control over you and me!

The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.
It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

2024 was the world's warmest year on record, but we still have Republicans claiming the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil and other polluters.

Last year was the hottest in Earth's recorded history
NASA found that 2024 was hotter than any other year since at least 1880. Previously, 2023 had been considered the warmest on record.

Ultra-wealthy elites. Political corruption. Corporate monopolies. Anti-immigrant nativism. Vast inequality.
These problems aren’t new. In the late 1800s, they dominated the country during America’s first Gilded Age.
We overcame these abuses then, and we can do so again.
