I remain convinced that what's happening now will lead to civil war in the united states.

The way we use GDP to measure a countries success is so fucked up.

Just here reminding you that Republicans are the reason all the prices are going up.

They did that. On purpose. To make your wage slavery worse.

Consider what they deserve in return.

“We fight for the many against the powerful few: whether it’s billionaires, bullies, or bigots. The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.

The biggest divide isn’t left vs. right, it’s top vs. bottom.”

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Also I feel compelled to remind you all:

There is nothing morally wrong about hurting authoritarians.

They'd do it to you in a heartbeat. Don't feel bad.

Just reminding you all that we're headed for the Second American Civil War.

I'm guessing it'll start somewhere around 16 months and maybe 4 days from today.

If all they do is rig maps to keep power, why do we need them?

This isn’t governance,it’s control.

Gerrymandering isn’t strategy, it’s surrender. They’ve stopped trying to earn votes. If this is their only play, the real question is: why are we still letting them?

Read "Capitalist Realism" by Mark Fisher.

Watch it explain why you can't feel good anymore.

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Just your daily reminder: if you don't like what's happening in American politics, it's because Republicans decided to do that.

They did it. On purpose. To hurt you. And it worked.

What are you going to do about them?

Don't forget: Republicans are why you're suffering right now. If you're not suffering, just wait a minute and you'll get there.

We should probably start punishing them for hurting all of us.

If you want to know why the country is broken, I've got the answer:

It was MAGA all along. They broke it. It's their fault. They should be held responsible.

We should probably figure out how to do that.
