WWMND? Mass daily protest until the regime resigns. Financial blackout. Total shutdown of his financial backers & their businesses. Not one dollar to be spent. It’s never been done before?
Good.
Time to add an asterisk to the Constitution about dealing with corrupt tyrants.

If a more powerful Mexico invaded the U.S., seized Texas, and then expanded further into American territory, would we be willing to negotiate peace without reclaiming our land and pushing them out?

What does this verse mean to the evangelical right. 1 John 4:20
“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.
We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.
