The case for overthrowing Trump.
The case for overthrowing MAGA.
The case for overthrowing the entire Republican Party.
The case for overthrowing literal Nazis on our own damn country.

My most woke opinion is that people convicted of (or even charged with) any crime should not lose any of their rights.

If all the state has to do to take away your rights is charge you with a crime (even if they have to make up a new one in order to target you), no one has rights.

Johnson's isn't just covering for Trump. He's clearly covering for himself.

Every politician against releasing the files, is in the files

That should be the talking point.

Them: "But I'm not in the files"

Us: "Great, then you'll have no problem releasing the files!"

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

The richest 10% of Americans own 88% of the stock market.

Only 28% of Americans making less than $50,000 even own stocks.

If you only use the stock market as the indicator for economic health, you are admitting that the economic conditions of the bottom half of America don't matter.

These are the Senate Democrats who voted to reopen the government After reaching a bipartisan deal, Senate Democrats finally gave Republicans the votes needed to advance a government funding measure.

Moderate Democrats were always going to cave.

The shutdown was always going to be performative. It not a matter of if, but when.

Establishment Democrats were always going to give the fascists everything they want, because they personally benefit from fascism.

Notice that all the legislation never tries to stop bullying or harassment online, it only eliminates queer spaces.

It's basically "my kid can't bully your queer kid online if we ban your queer kid from all online spaces, isolate them, and force them into the closet"

This post fundamentally misunderstands that conservative extremism, fascism, and racism are actually more American than liberty or justice.

We cannot move forward until we can accurately identify the root problem.

We cannot move forward until we stop pretending, and face who we really are.

In the same way that not a single Confederate senator, general, or even soldier was ever convicted of the crime of treason, not a single MAGA Republican will be held accountable.

They had 4 years to convict Trump and they couldn't even manage that.

As long as a single child needs SNAP benefits, as long as a single veteran is unhoused, as long as a single parent needs to work more than 1 job to put food on the table, the top marginal tax rate should be 100%

Everyone should understand that Mike Johnson isn't avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files to protect Trump.

Mike Johnson is avoiding a vote on the Epstein files to protect himself.

Any main stream media reporter who questions the Regime will be fired from their job. Any independent reporter that questions the Regime will have their press credentials revoked and their media company will be sued by the Regime.

That's why no one will ever ask those questions.

The plan has always been to let poor people die, so they stop being a "drain on society".

Sooner rather than later, ideally.

And preferably before having a chance to to reproduce, so those "degenerate" genes aren't passed on to the next generation. Because poverty is genetic.

The largest lobby to keep Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the US Chamber of Commerce, which is not a federal agency, but a 501(c)(6), an NGO.

They lobby on behalf of businesses, and want to keep DST so that you spend more money before it gets dark.

Someone needs to make an info graphic of exactly how much each specific billionaire is "saving" in taxes and list the federal programs that add up to that amount.

Like, Elon Musk is saving $700M in taxes, and XYZ program cost $700M, so we gutted this program to give that money to Elon instead.

It's similar to drug testing welfare recipients, which was also not effective, and ended up costing more than it saved.

They don't care that it doesn't work. It's about shaming poor people, and maintaining the poverty-to-prison-to-slavery pipeline.

It's not because we won't know who they are. It's because the white supremacy establishment will protect them. As we saw with Trump's pardoning of the 6ers. Except even more so here, because conservatives will frame them as "law enforcement" and not "domestic terrorists".

In the same way that not a single Confederate soldier was ever charged, arrested, tried, or convicted of treason or even sedition, not a single one of these brownshirts will ever be held accountable.
