BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.
Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

I get it but can we stop with “banana republic” as an adjective? Shit makes me cringe as someone of Caribbean Decent…Plenty of other ways to describe this shit show 😒
From world envying economy to banana republic and pariah in 3 months!
Trumpty Dumpty and his crime syndicate have worked wonders.
As for the sub par cookies he'd have been wearing the platter like a hat. Absolute twat!

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.
People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.
America, we have a problem!

It’s almost as if part of being American is being a law abiding citizen 🤔
It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

When I talk to kids today and they ask me what I would do if I were 12 today, my answer is always the same, read books and learn how to use AI in every way shape and form you can. It is a living library that gives you responses and can help no matter who you are or where you live.

Trump and DOGE accused federal civil servants of fraud (with no evidence).
Meanwhile, they're halting enforcement of a foreign anti-bribery law, dropping criminal charges against Eric Adams, and pardoning a former governor who tried to sell Obama's Senate seat.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Trickle down doesn’t fucking work…
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia.
Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.
It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.
Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.
Don't tune out. Don't let them win.
