Father. Husband. Small business owner.
The Trump regime now says that it's "terrorism" to demand due process for an innocent man. Let's lock arms at protests - if they arrest one of us, they must arrest us all.
Roughly 2 months ago, I called for people to stop donating to the Democratic party until Schumer stepped down. I was ridiculed to no end. I even pissed off a very popular Youtuber. Had we done this, we could've had a new leader by now - a fighter. Instead, we got a "strongly worded letter."
Just told my wife the government shutdown would cost us our healthcare subsidy. She told me that I keep telling her these things and they never happen.
The most frustrating part of this authoritarian takeover is the people who don't believe what is happening.
EXPOSED: This needs to be on every screen in America.
In 1994, Donald Trump sexualized his 1-year-old daughter. He mentioned her breasts and her legs.
And laughed. This is a pedophile in plain sight. He is disgusting. Period.
I overheard a phone conversation between a mom & son yesterday. The son said his workplace was raided by ICE. It sounded like he was in charge & voluntarily allowed ICE in. He said that he cooperated b/c his employees are legal, & it went smoothly.
My question: Why let them in without a warrant?
To the people who keep defending billionaires, he is a fun fact:
Billionaires could simply charge less for their products and/or pay their employees more and NOT be billionaires.
Hope this helps.
Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.
This is Washington at its worst.
We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
I cut off all "both sides are equally bad" friends. One of them recently reached out to me and said she doesn't care about politics and doesn't want politics to get in the way of our relationship. I haven't responded, but here are my thoughts:
This is not about politics. This is about morality.
2.977 people died on 9/11.
The daily quote for ICE is 3000.
I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective.
They want one 9/11 every day.
Mamdani said to fund his programs, he would only have to raise taxes on the top 1% of New Yorkers by an extra 2% of their income.
How insane is it that we could have free childcare, free busses, cheaper rent, and cheaper groceries by taxing 1% a tiny bit more? Imagine if we taxed them 5% more.
We have DEFINITIVE proof that MAGA is a cult.
I was just thinking about how around 70% of Republicans were opposed to war with Iran as few days before the US bombed them. Now, only 20% are opposed to war with Iran.
The ONLY logical conclusion for this is that they don't think for themselves.
The takeaway is not that electoral politics will fix everything.
We know it won’t.
Obviously.
The takeaway is that people will show up if you give them hope & a way forward.
And that, my friends, can & must look like a lot of things right now.
An active duty service member has been sent to a mental health facility against his will after speaking out about ICE’s legal and humanitarian abuses. TikTokers took action, including writing @governor.ca.gov /
If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.
There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487
54% of children in America are insured by Medicaid.
The ONLY party looking to kick them off is the GOP.
The ONLY party trying to defund the ACA is the GOP.
The ONLY party trying to get rid of vaccines and medical research that saves lives is the GOP.
The cruelty is always the point.
It's amazing how easy some really BIG FIXES are. (And trust me when I say, if I can figure this out, they already know.)
The one thing the fixes have in common?
Wealthy people/corporations paying their fair share.
We don't have a left-to-right problem.
We have a top-to-bottom problem.
And there you have it: Israel has confessed, indeed heralded, its intent to complete the Gazan genocide. And the EU? Mrs von der Leyen? Our great and good leaders? They are consenting through a studied silence. 80 yrs after its defeat, Nazism in back. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
At what point do we just accept that the rich have declared war on the poor?
They're too big of cowards to do it outright, but that is 100% what has happened.
We need to fight back accordingly.
