This is horrifying. Sadly, many other comments reflect my own despair - they may be dodging a bullet at this point. How much lower must we go?

You called it! I honestly believe this is the plan

I think most of the MAGA base is too poor to be thinking about inheritance, and the wealthy are simply dismissive of anyone needing help, family or otherwise.
I honestly think this is more about those at the top actively reducing the population of people they deem incapable of being useful to them.

The K-shaped Christmas: wealthy few drive holiday spending splurge while many struggle to get by A soaring stock market rewards the already well-off but Trump’s handling of the economy has caused his approval ratings to plunge

The graphic showing wealth percentiles- 50% of us hold so little wealth compared to those in the top, that we don't even register on the damn chart. If the divide continues at this rate, we will be at the level of serfs to land-owners in the not so distant future.

Hundreds of anti-ICE protestors brought their Home Depot to a halt by buying and returning 17-cent ice scrapers. Here's how Home Depots across California and North Carolina ground to a halt this weekend as hundreds of protestors participated in a symbolic protest

Good start, and I hope this message gets delivered by more PD's.
More good news - check this out😂

Knew I should've checked my numbers before replying but I was getting ready to run out the door. A potentially interesting discussion with our indivisible chapter to take back to leadership

True on all counts. Problem is that about 70M of that 240M are MAGA, 74M are young children, 70M are disabled, 4M are military, so that leaves about 22M adults who can really participate, and about 30% did so.

I write, call, sign petitions almost daily. Today I will be canvassing door-to-door with a great candidate who is crazy enough to run in this environment. I'm 71 y/o and tired. It's been a fvcking year and it's going to get worse. Just hope this never happens in CA! Elbows up💪

It's a daily slog, and a lot of us are moving toward broke and exhausted. They are destroying to ability to work, pay bills, buy groceries. Our nation is huge and populated primarily on two coasts. We had a 7-million person protest that hardly made news. We're trying to feed our neighbors now. WTF

To resist, we should know what they're doing:

-Democracy: people govern through elected representatives

-Autocracy: absolute power is held by one person

-Oligarchy: small group of people have control of the government

-Kleptocracy: leaders use political power to steal the wealth of the people

To resist, we should know where we're going:

Democracy: people govern through elected representatives

Autocracy: absolute power is held by one person

Oligarchy: small group of people have control of the government

Kleptocracy: leaders use political power to steal the wealth of the people

Read this years ago; enjoy!!

We know how important this work is and we're behind you 100%

Wonder how much of their value is linked to American contracts?

It's past time, but no one will be held accountable until all of the traitors are gone

Most accurate description yet

Yep; they've been amazing. Saw them at the Hands Off rally in DC and there's much love for what they are doing!
...and they just popped up on my Pandora radio feed🔥

You need to set up one of those tables with "prove me wrong" to be able to watch people's reactions😅

I like the way you think; hell yes!! Include all the musicians he's ripped off. Must have Dropkick Murphys and - can I just dream here - Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Eminem... would be life-giving energy for sure. Add in some Celtic drum sets too!

Sorry to be crude, but Trump uses the Constitution for toilet paper. He gives not one moment's thought to any law but his own desire to dominate and enrich himself.

‘Deeply demoralizing’: how Trump derailed coal country’s clean-energy revival Biden earmarked billions for former coal communities in Appalachia – and his successor came and took it away

The GOP and their ongoing war against America's poor.
"The cuts have deepened existing mistrust in government, known colloquially as Appalachian fatalism, yet many of those interviewed by the Guardian blame Washington politics generally rather than Trump."

We've become the world's worst hoodlums.

Depends on who owns the rights, as it's not always the artist anymore. Foo Fighters sued, but they had the $$ to back it. Labels don't protect artists like they used to, and look at the list of artists he's ripped-off.

Okay Mayor Mamdani - hold them accountable!

Oh my...that looks delicious!

...and Trump is incompetent. Since we are reporting the obvious.👍

This is gorgeous and I would love to visit!! This needs to be preserved and shared widely💖 Be careful about giving the attention it should have during this administration though...
