People aren’t broke because they’re “splurging” on iPhones and lattes, people are broke because corporations have bought up housing, control our healthcare, and are gouging at the register.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

AOC has demanded an investigation into “insider trading” in Congress after the stock market resurrected when Trump's “Liberation Day” tariffs were put on hold.
AOC Demands Ban on Congress ‘Insider Trading’ After Record Stock Rebound

I read this morning that due to overwhelming supply and virtually no demand- Tesla will not accept their own vehicles as trade ins.
That says something. Something pretty funny.

This needs to be said more and loudly.
X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself.
He is his own ponzi scheme.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

Relying on courts also filled with appointed, not elected, political agents is a dangerous game. Just because a court said the process is fine doesn’t make it anymore democratic than the unelected billionaire also making his ruling.
Judge rules Trump's sweeping plan to persuade federal workers to resign can move forward
