I automatically block certain people who follow me: Accounts about spreading religion, accounts about pictures of pretty girls, accounts about sharing the winnings of a lottery, accounts about MLM and other scams (including "entrepreneur coaching"). Some of you folks are wasting your time.

Truth. We have drifted VERY far away from our nation's better values. Watching Ken Burns's The American Revolution brings it crashing home.
The common good is a set of shared commitments.
To the rule of law. To democracy. To tolerance. To equal opportunity. To upholding the truth.
We cannot have a functioning society without these shared commitments.

I want to tell you what we know about Trump’s truly sh*tty economy. Then I’ll suggest 10 things that Democrats should pledge to do about it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-truly-shtty-economy

Damn right. I am all over this agenda.
Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:
-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage
Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.
That is the path forward.

Who remembers "But her emails!"?

So the New York Times helped Traitor One conceal his many crimes and, consequently, helped him steal the first election and go on his merry way to raping the nation, along with both girls and boys.
Fuck the New York Times with poisoned cacti.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

Wanna see a prime example of #enshittification? Look no further than this shit. I have used Pandora off an on for years. I’ve been using it more lately, so I thought, “OK. I’ll subscribe.” To subscribe to the Premium level, no problem. I can pay $10.99 a month and off I go. (I added the red box.)

Truth, and I am beyond tired of it.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

As ever, the people of this nation got played and lost.
The real victory of the Republicans is making the Democrats argue amongst themselves over whether food or healthcare was more important. Like one of those tic-tac-toe boards where you can’t lose.

This. The billionaires own both parties.
The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,
not because the voters want them to,
not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…
they are caving because their DONORS want them to.
And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

Dems caving on health care is another fine example of the Ratchet Effect. Don't forget that both parties work for the billionaires. Along with the Rs, we have to remove the corporate/conservative Ds to remake this nation.
