The way I see it, we have a few options:
1. General strike
2. Mass protests in DC for as long as it takes
3. Wait for Republicans to protect the country and therefore lose the country
No one is coming to save us.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

The average middle class American earns $1.66 million in their lifetime.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Larry Ellison each “earn” an American Dream every 2 minutes.
The American Dream isn’t for us. It’s a fairy tale we’re told by those at the top to sell us on our own exploitation.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

Say what you like about Newsom, but this is straight fire and the party needs to WTFU
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

Now that the DHS is requesting personal data from Medicaid, how long before ICE starts rounding up those millions of able bodied Americans sponging off the government and forces them to work for Agri Business, construction and other companies that once relied upon immigrants?
