Democratic socialist in MN who's been shouting the warning signs of fascism in this country for a decade. Just want my children to grow up in a world that actually ALLOWS them to grow up as whole people, with human rights and stuff. Too much to ask?

Hope you feel better soon. My mental health has been balancing a tightrope lately so I haven't been very active myself. Been focusing on sustainability and resilience projects offline, mostly. Oh, but I DID finally find a local protest group to join! ✊

Income tax was 90% the, but I think he's proposing a *wealth* tax. That's them paying 5% on their entire wealth, yearly, not just on income. Elon Musk alone, at nearly one trillion in wealth, would pay almost $50B a year.

Personally, I think we should do both. Tax everything over $999.99M at 100%

If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito. 🦟

OR hang this sign over your local highway like these American patriots did in Paramus, NJ πŸ¦…

Police say homemade bombs were ignited outside the home of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in what investigators are calling an β€œISIS-inspired” act of terrorism.

Authorities found three devices outside Gracie Mansion. One reportedly contained a volatile homemade explosive.

It's been a decade since I was proud of America. Biden years helped a little, but he spent a lot of his team cleaning up after theincontinent orange toddler so it was never really GOOD good.

Put them on an iceberg and push them out to sea. Wouldn't it be ironic for them to die from climate change, which they think doesn't exist, melting their iceberg?

Either that or just put them on a rocket straight into the sun. That was the last wish of Jane Goodall, after all. πŸ˜‚

I think exile is too good for him. I vote for the traditional punishment for oligarchs who got too big for their britches. And include his whole family, because if not, nothing will change.

Her only excuse has dropped like a rock. They should call her back in and see what else she's got since she can't use the DOW anymore. πŸ˜‚ Probably start resorting to "yo' mama" jokes or something...

They drained the swamp and replaced it with radioactive toxic waste. At least the swamp had a functioning biome... Fuck...

The step before fascism isn't communism... It's unfettered capitalism. The counter to fascism... Is socialism. That's why socialists were the first line in the poem.

It's their message with EVERYTHING, really, and everyone. If they can't control us, they'll throw us in jail, torture, and kill us.

Same with mine in the US, shortly. I've done the best I can to adjust it to the model with the least risk and the most stability, but there's not much else I can do since I'm not in retirement yet. Just batten down the hatches and hope it survives, I guess. 😩
