"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Google and Meta (and others) hand over the data of users who are critical of ICE to the US government.
The media should stop saying that American values and democracy are "IN DANGER".

They are not "political" statements. They are not "political" concepts (economic/ecological). They are a string of completely sick and incoherent sentences. There is no room for rational politics here. It is madness, and the media should label it as such.

I'm so tired of reading this constant sick and absurd crap from Trump, his vassals and his stupid fans, who are too dumb to kick over a bucket of water in floodlight.

It is well known that Trump is a sick and evil narcissist. However, the media allow themselves to be exploited for his madness and report on every absurd behavior and comment. This "normalizes" it -> #SANEWASHING #Trump

It is shameful, illegal & unconstitutional that the DOJ has released 1% of the files. Where is the pressure to get Pam Bondi to release the files?"

Let's be clear: Trump's USA is an enemy. An enemy of its own people when they don't applaud him. An enemy of every country that resists his arbitrariness and insanity.

US customs revenues rose by around US$200 billion last year. However, only around four percent of the customs burden was borne by foreign exporters, while 96 percent was passed on to US buyers. At the same time, trade volumes slumped without export prices falling.
