Tax the Rich

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

What more needs to happen for this Regime to be stopped? There are $$ millions more being spent for more of this in blue cities - instead of funding for healthcare! After the treasonous meeting with the military elite, we had better have a plan to interrupt this developing autocracy.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

It drives me nuts and is a reflection of the world we live in that the interview after the Rose/Fleetwood Dechambeau/Sheffler match focuses on the altercation on the 15th hole instead of the incredible play for the whole round. CAN WE LOSE THE DRAMA SOMETIME SOON?

It is amazing to me how petty this man can be. Comey is actually credited with handing him the 2016 election! But instead of focusing on that and moving on, he keeps his panties in a wad and goes for the throat. He does it all with no pride or subtlety, just pure unadulterated venom for revenge.

“Involuntary lethal injection. Just kill them.” ARE YOU F’ING KIDDING ME?????

Oralè Resisters “Forced Lethal Injection” This is some serious Bullshit on Fox Apparently they want to execute the homeless and even discussed death delivery systems. I was jaw dropped disbelieve in denial witnessing what they were saying like they were contemplating ordering lunch? #USDemocracy

In this decade women have lost federal protections for their own bodily choices to the state they live in, but the states they live in have lost the ability to deny “protections” from federal agencies. Trump has so broken us.

This is so important. We need to be holding this administration accountable for every inconceivable act of lawlessness it has been and are still planning to do. The media is useless. Congress is useless. It’s up to us!

Amelia R.@aeg172.bsky.social

Or are the Epstein files a distraction? Does it matter? It doesn’t excuse Trump’s ongoing reshaping of U.S. culture—dismantling institutions, undermining truth, terrorizing the public, reshaping education, and normalizing policies that redefine what America is and how we live.

The media has let us down for a decade. They want the sensationalism at the cost of decent government. Biden was too boring, unless they reported on his age and guffaws. They have 100% normalized the shit show we’re in now. They doomed us.

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."

I’m not a scientist but I’ll do everything I can to spread the word.

Calling all scientists and science supporters! You have a crucial role to play in countering the authoritarian threat we currently face in this country. Learn more about how you can stand up for the facts and truth that are essential for a free and democratic society. blog.ucs.org/gretchen-gol...

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.
