Anyone that says “happy” birthday, “happy” holidays, or “merry” christmas can fuck off. I’ve been acting that all is well for 41 days, but it’s a lie. Betrayal and abandonment do not lead to “happy” holidays. To anyone else out there with an impending divorce, “Fucking Holidays can go to Hell”.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

"In fact, in the minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in ... Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password"

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Right now, we have an authoritarian president. He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts. Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

If Donald Trump can override our elected officials’ control of the purse strings, we are effectively entering a period of taxation without representation.

This says it all.

Reaganomics when the rich started hoarding cash... the beginning of the 1%. Interestingly, the story has never been told fully and correctly after all these years. So, here we are... the in your face economics... I have a billion and you don't F*** YOU!! #RESIST #BuildTheResistance

Elon Musk Forms Department Of Underaged Clowns Harming Everything (DOUCHE)

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

above all else the current crop of republicans in congress are the most pathetic cowards to ever serve in washington www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Because you TOTALLY asked for this… and MapQuest has NOTHING better to do… We’ve granted you exclusive access to a place very dear to our heart: gulfof.mapquest.com Think of it as the Upside Down but more... minimalist. Pls share so we can behold your genius (or judge you, lovingly) 😘

The only reason to be mildly happy to see his face in the news - he will soon be shat upon by a flock of pet finches.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

More media controlling the narrative—The Washington Post refused to run an ad that said, “Fire Elon Musk.”

‘Cybertruck Man’ a cartoon in defiance of Musk #political #cartoonist #cybertruck #elon #musk #democracy #tiananmen

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

None of this is about "efficiency." Mass firings occurred at the CFPB this week — one of the most efficient federal agencies. The goal here is to gut the government entirely and remove any obstacles to the continued consolidation of wealth and power by the oligarchs.

This is a perfect fit into my recent collecting is books relating to Trump and other crap leading to the downfall of the USA. Figured I would build a physical library before the internet goes down or is gutted by his Orangeness and Musk.

This got mailed back to the GOP fundraising headquarters. Other pages were also dropping in red ink, with further musings on their inadequacies.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

DOGE MUSK!! #BuildTheResistance #Resist

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

This is what oligarchy looks like... #BuildTheResistance #Resist #America

So this one time in college, I voted Republican for some positions. They still randomly send stuff, thinking I’m with them.
