Maybe this was never the place I thought it was. That image is likely just the selective memory or the idealized version of it as filtered through a younger, more naive, less aware, more optimistic version of myself. Still, the sense of loss is the same.

Seriously. Fuck billionaires. Nobody should have that much money.

For those who say “THEY WORKED HARD FOR THAT!!!”…

Really?

Are you sure?

Or did they just get rich and then take advantage of a stock market and tax system that lets them sit back and watch their wealth balloon to obscene levels?

🚨NEW: Comgressman Jamie Raskin has announced his run to be the Ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. This position will be critical to holding Donald Trump accountable. As a former impeachment manager, Raskin is a great fit for the role.

REPOST if you support Rep. Raskin!

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "There has been no oppression for the white man in this country ... it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y'all are the ones being oppressed."

Ron makes a great point: if you feel you can't report Trump critically now because you are too afraid, it is best you resign. You are compromised. Now is the time where reporters must be unapologetic. Do not let Trump scare you into submission. Do not obey in advance.
If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?

"Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. The whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan"
