Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

It is beyond time for the world sport organizations to find their spines and cancel the forthcoming World Cup and Olympics. The USA is clearly no longer safe under this administration as shown by the many travel advisories in place. Or countries should decline to participate. #olympics #worldcup

It seems beyond ironic that the #MAGA movement under their cult leader are hellbent on destroying everything that actually "did" make America great.

"Make America Great Again" isn't really a great slogan if it only applies to an American viewpoint and not the World.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

My King County WA property tax bill just landed. 8.5% increase from last year, based entirely on an "on paper" increase in the value of my property. But I didn't get a 8.5% pay rise. No pay rise actually. Why on earth can't they base it on stable square footage? #pnw #propertytax #kingcountywa

It is beyond my comprehension that the USA, where I chose to make my home, is now effectively lawless. No democracy in Russia, China and now the USA. It's utter madness... #usacoup

For the university and hospital administrators who thought repressing programs on racial and gender inequalities, suspending trans care, censoring truth on genocide, etc was going to stop Trump from attacking your federal funding, please confront how naive and cowardly you’ve been and change course.

I came to the USA under Obama because the country had such a bright future. I became a citizen under Biden feeling that we'd moved on. Pretty much speechless now under the dark veil of the future...
