When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louisβ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing.

Fuck racist & disrespectful Trump for moving Obamaβs Presidential Portrait to an unused White House hallway.
Always shackling the Black man.
Imagine Black kids touring asking to see the first Black president.
Fucking swine.
So many appalling things are happening.
The DOJ hired a J6 rioter who called for the killing of cops.
The defense secretary boosted the crackpot idea of denying the vote to women.
They want to wear us down. Donβt let them. Donβt accept this as normal.
Hold tight to your values β and your outrage.
