Just like we warned.

Someone tell the South African that’s our fucking money.

Casar: On a roll? What I know is that when the ultra-rich and special interests were on a roll in the 1920s and started controlling the government, they crashed the economy and caused the Great Depression. We’ve got to stop that roll—we can’t let them do something like that again.

Frogs Boiled: What Trump is Planning for a Second Term Last night Democrats saw what happens when they run on the issues.

In Nov 2023, the WAPO ran a chilling piece on Trump's plans for a 2nd term. It was one of the early mentions of Project 2025. I wrote about it at the time. Looking back, it's remarkable how much has come true, except for Trump invoking the insurrection act. joycevance.substack.com/p/frogs-boil...

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
