Iceberg on the coast of Labrador slowly bobs in the ocean while billionaires and politicians strip America for parts.

Quick stop yesterday on my way up the west coast of Newfoundland. Setting sail today to cross the Straight of Belle Isle, and up the coast of Labrador!

The Democratic establishment IS the problem. They have spent decades supporting corporations and billionaires rather than the working class. Remember when Obama and Pelosi sold out Universal Healthcare care for corporate campaign contributions?!

Y’all remember this, right?
W declaring victory shortly after launching a war on Iraq, following the 9/11 terrorist attack which included mostly Saudis and precisely 0 Iraqis. A trillion dollars in war expenses later, this was a great look.

What would a 100% wealth tax on billionaires provide?!
Well there's an idea

Tax the rich
June 20, 2025 at 12:19 PM
Increase taxes to help 100% of all wealth over $100 million. Eliminate billionaires.
Increase taxes on corporations to 90% of all income over $100 million. Either reinvest in the business, split up big corporations, or pay off the deficit.
If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each.

The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

The majority of working people on food stamps work for companies with over 1000 employees.

Why are companies like Amazon and Walmart bringing in a combined 1.2 TRILLION a year while their employees are on food stamps and working second jobs?

End corporate welfare queens.

Trump has single-handedly destroyed US economic stature globally. All in the name of personal wealth and helping Putin!
Another sign that the dollar’s dominance is in trouble: US importers are increasingly being asked by their foreign counterparties to settle transactions in currencies other than the US dollar, such as euros, RMB, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars.
Many Exporters No Longer Want Dollars, US Bank Executive Says
When Paula Comings, the head of currency sales for US Bancorp, talks to US importers, she increasingly hears the same message: Their foreign counterparties no longer want to be paid in dollars.

THIS is why PineTreeActivism.org adds NH border towns to Maine Resistance Calendars. Being a mostly rural state, many Mainers live closer to NH towns holding events than they do a Maine town.

Today’s note to #SusanCollins:
Impeach Kristi Noem.

Noem and her team’s actions toward your colleague, Sen. Alex Padilla, are inexcusable. She needs to be removed from office immediately and banned from serving in government. You must set an example that there is zero tolerance for abuse of power.
June 13, 2025 at 12:13 PM
Impeach Kristi Noem, impeach Trump, cancel the Big Billionaire Bonus! @golden.house.gov @pingree.house.gov #SusanCollins #AngusKing
Sen. Kim: "My colleague was thrown to the floor, handcuffed, humiliated—it is not a humiliation of that individual Senator, it is a humiliation of this body...Shame upon those that instigated this, that followed through on this, it is something all of us need to stand against."
June 13, 2025 at 12:10 PM
Impeach Kristi Noem. @golden.house.gov @padilla.senate.gov @pingree.house.gov
Also, impeach Trump while you’re at it.
A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.

But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.
Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.

Stop. We're not rioting here in Los Angeles. Trump isn't removing criminals. He's scooping up our friends and neighbors and denying them due process. We're protecting them with our bodies and making it difficult for ICE to commit these crimes. There is a difference.

100% tax on all wealth over $100 million!
Pay for universal health care, universal child care, and universal pre-k through college education!
It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

This is why the democrats are not an answer to MAGA. They are a center-right corporatist party, and want to bend to the whims of whatever corporate media has made popular rather than have a backbone and morals.
63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys

46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll

to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership
EXCLUSIVE: A top Democratic strategist has launched new policy research and messaging hub, called Searchlight, with a goal of pushing the party toward the most effective, broadly popular positions.
