We are supposed to be happy with a political party that pretends to be a little bit sorry after 38 years of Very Racist policy. We are not.

“Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine," Biden said in a statement.
This distinction was set by a 1986 law drafted by then-Sen. Joe Biden.

Trump’s moving inauguration inside because it’s too cold for the big baby. Also, he didn’t want the visuals of another small crowd. Pathetic.

This is a heist.
Trump and his billionaire buddies are planning to pillage us all.
They aren’t keeping it secret.
It’s literally the plan.
It’s a con.
They want “deregulation”. They want “free markets”.
What does that mean?
They get to cash out.
We get to suffer.

This is their goal. Privatize everything.
And by “privatize” we mean steer billions to themselves and their friends, ending programs that serve those with the least under the guise of “efficiency”.
Rural areas will suffer. Prices will rise.

America is going to learn very fast that the historic corruption of the incoming administration will kill people. American innocents will die because Trump and Musk and Thiel and Vance have designs on this country that have everything to do with their own enrichment and nothing to do with Americans.

So if I understand this—corporations ARE people when enacting policies that kill people, but NOT people when we demand arrest of the corporate executives who enact the policies that kill people, but ARE people again when a person repeats back to them the exact policies they use to kill people.🤔

It would be reasonable to investigate if Musk lied on federal immigration forms in the 1990s—as the forms still exist and we know exactly when he was off student status
If found to have committed federal misdemeanors on those forms, he should face at least the usual penalty of a 10-year deportation

It doesn't matter what he says to his cult base. They will make all the excuses for him, they will fill in all the blanks for him, they will alter reality itself to conform with the idea that he's perfect. They will assume all criticism is a personal attack, because they've made it personal.
A month after the election Trump admits his promises on voters' top issue were lies.
He will not lower costs, in fact his plans will lead to Americans paying higher prices.

They didn't cancel student loans as promised because they realized it would help Black people too much. However, this is an opportunity to claw back some credibility for the (center-right) Democratic party and stick his thumb in the eye of felon Lump. (He won't.)

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, 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.
