Columbia’s Republican Mayor Daniel Rickenmann presenting a model of leadership that JD Vance is incapable of. Mayor Rickenmann encouraged attendees to welcome the monks marching for peace to SC, spoke against the violence in our nation, & presented a proclamation from the city to the monks.

all my life I was told that America had the greatest system of government ever — but all I can see is one party high-fiving itself over the state-sponsored murder of its citizens, and the other party impotently writing strongly-worded letters about it. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

On top of this, Trump has:

-Reversed Biden's minimum wage hike for federal contractors
-Gutted OSHA
-Rolled back dozens of workplace health & safety regulations
-Dropped the FTC’s support for a noncompete ban

NEW: This year, Trump ended collective bargaining rights for 1 million federal workers — ending union protections for 1 in 14 unionized workers in the U.S.

Did Kristi and Kash get to Vegas in one of Kristi's Gulfstream G700 private jets taxpayers paid $200,000,000 for or did they use a $60,000,000 FBI private jet that taxpayers also paid for? These are incompetent fools only on the job for the attention and theft.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

All true. Except that we have a federal administration that is moving quickly through the classic fascistic and authoritarian playbook, with chilling parallels to evil regimes of history (and the present).
