Without justice there can be no peace. Pro-democracy, anti-fascism. Resisting USA kakistocracy. A conscientious objector to their inhumanity, short-sighted policies & their attempts to destroy our democracy & constitution in service to the obscenely rich.

This is impossible Trump assured us that no one has ever died from climate change, I believe it came up in the context of him discussing changing the name of the Atlantic Ocean to "Trump Ocean" Or he might have been talking about famous golfers' penises, I can't remember Something policy-related

Trump on what he told Vivek Ramaswamy about his vile ad: "I told him, Leave it up! And look upstairs and say, Thank you God very much, I appreciate it!"

When Elon Musk took control of X, he had CBS News chief Bari Weiss write a portion of his ill-fated “Twitter Files”-so you have to wonder how long ago this was planned But the big story is, anti-democracy conservatives want to reshape public opinion until it aligns with their warped worldview

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.

Wow! Make Amy Acton governor. “I am making a promise to Ohioans...that no one in my state will ever, ever be invisible to me."

Mike Rogers keeps questioning El-Sayed's loyalty to America to deflect from his own corruption. Republicans are only loyal to their billionaire benefactors and the almighty dollar. They have proven they don't care about America(ns). We need to vote on our realities, not Republican fearmongering.

This is simple: Mark to market, and make them realize 2% of their assets to pay their taxes. That is what Real Estate Tax does to the middle class. The rich have had a 45 year tax holiday.

They make 5-600 times the hourly pay of their employees but they don't spend 600 times more. They sit on it. Then they use that extra cash to buy political figures and get tax breaks. They're the true parasites!

We REALLY need to nationalize Musk's companies and then deport his POS self to say CECOT. He is a crook and a traitor to the country. As for the rest of them we really need to start looking to break up many of these companies as its too much power under those roofs and as they are F'n asshats...

I never even gave the uber Wealthy a single thought until the Trump era. Now, I utterly DESPISE them! These people have found a way to destroy our Country from within. It’s horrifying to see. I’m ashamed & embarrassed at how easily our Country has fallen prey to these ASSHOLES! Screw BILLIONAIRES.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Thankfully most Americans are finally beginning to understand & admit that tRUMp works to further Vladimir Putin's goals to destroy democracy & NATO. Republicans made a huge mistake turning their party & our country over to this treasonous sociopathic felon. On 11/3 they must put country over party.

Add this to the long list of Trump business failures and scams. But his endless grifts profiting off the presidency over the past decade has still increased his net worth exponentially, and he’s already made tons of cash off people who invested in this.

Remember when Trump called legitimate protestors “paid agitators”? It was another PROJECTION The Republicans are literally paying college kids $200 to show up at Democratic rallies and stir the pot.
