The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

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 programs that millions of people rely on.

4) Repeat.

Don't let them get away with it.

Laws Are Not Suggestions: How the CFPB Is Delivering for the American People - American Economic Liberties Project Under Director Rohit Chopra, the CFPB has held scammers like Wells Fargo accountable, returning billions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned money to their bank accounts; fought back against Wall Street and Big Tech’s discriminatory and anti-competitive behavior; ensured violating the law can no longer be written off as just a “cost of doing business;” and restored financial freedom to millions of Americans held hostage by the credit reporting cartel.

The CFPB has:

-Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders
-Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse

Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

An URGENT Message NTEU National Treasury Employees Union FORK UPDATE Another message has been sent directly to the federal workforce from the OPM group behind "the fork in the road" messaging, titled "FORK IN THE ROAD FAQS". '. The message is written to entice you to leave your career behind by resigning in return for vague promises with NO GUARANTEES. The intent behind this offer is so they can achieve their stated goal of removing 10 percent or more of the federal workforce without any regard for the important work you do or the services you provide. Think about that. They don't even try to hide their disdain for you by making outright false and condescending statements. How dare they suggest that your career equates to "lower productivity jobs" or suggest that you "stay at home and relax." As they are falsely attacking employees who have for decades delivered for the American people while teleworking, they are now saying they will pay them to NOT work for months. Does that make any sense to you? The responses to the FAQs are written to sell you on this offer. These statements do not reflect reality and are an insult to the highly skilled, and experienced workforce, vital to the functioning of all federal agencies. The guidance provided is questionable at best and possibly violates the rules of conduct that federal employees are required to follow. Don't be fooled. Don't follow this OPM group's guidance. DO NOT RESIGN. #STANDSTRONGTOGETHERNTEU

New — The National Treasury Employees Union just sent out an urgent email to all members re: OPM guidance on deferred resignation.

“Don't be fooled. Don't follow this OPM group's guidance. DO NOT RESIGN.”

I never dreamed of seeing our country where it is now. Half dozen convicted felons running the show, and nearly half of the US voted for them. I could cry.

LA's wildfires sparked by rare collision of climate factors Extremely dry conditions and an hurricane force winds are overlapping unusually late in the year.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.

Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil.

What planet are they living on?

Longer dry seasons and more intense wildfires are a direct consequence of climate change.

We must stop putting fossil fuel industry profits over the safety and security of our people.
