We’ve all been doing our best to be resilient, to stay diligent, to persevere in the face of this prolific malfeasance—but damn it all, our emotional and physical systems weren’t built to carry this kind of prolonged trauma.

Fight Evil, Resist Fascism, and Take a Nap
A radio host recently asked me what recurring themes I sense as I talk with my readers, engage online, and meet people across the country in my travels.

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I can’t speak for others, but I’m at the stage where I believe that America needs to learn the consequences of its own actions.
I’m only worth one vote. I can’t babysit others or do twice the amount of democratic labor trying to hold democracy up because they refuse to do any labor at all.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."
When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.”
737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.
Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

Pro life? They look like a militia created from people who dissected squirrels and ate their organs for FUN.
We've known for a long time that pro-life is 100% "control women because that makes us feel like we're real men."
And every day of Trump's presidency will make that more obvious.

Thank you, Thomas! For saying (very eloquently) what my brain screams (very uneloquently) over and over again every day.
Trump’s brain is a clickbait machine.

9 yrs later, we understand that Trump is a superficial reality TV star who didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.
This is class warfare & propaganda between greed & the people they exploit.
There is no bandaid left. We need to address it once & for all.

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr.
Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.
I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it.
His response?
"No sir."
