60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

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 vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Trump has dropped or halted more than 1 in 5 investigations and enforcement actions against corporate lawbreakers. 

At least 34 of those companies — including Tesla, Amazon, and Wells Fargo — gave over $34M to Trump's inaugural. 

It's a new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

What the actual fuck?! America, something must be done!

Trump posted: ‘All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’

Please read—this is becoming serious!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did

Nobody likes a braggart. Especially when they take credit for other people’s accomplishments. And then blame people for their own blatant arrogant fuck ups.

Yesterday, during Katy's Celebration of Life, we had an odd experience. Neither the pastor nor the funeral home had a Bible. So the readings were not read but summarized instead.
Many joyful memories were share d throughout the day.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”
