I agree. Also anti-corruption must be a central tenant of the 2028 campaign. An AG-led anti-corruption task force must hold those in government, past and present, fully accountable for their fraud and corruption. This runs across all three branches - judicial, legislative, and executive.

This is why we must #TaxTheWealthy. They did not ‘earn’ billions - they exploit others and hoard the wealth. The rest of society - the 99.9% of us - are worse off not better off. Tax to take back the wealth, break their power, and restore democracy to the people!!! #FightTheOligarchy

So, when Trump said they were creating a “crime free zone,” he meant the crime of littering. Got it.

Whether it’s freaking out about the new Cracker Barrel logo or some other bogeyman, remember this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture wars are meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

The MAGA faithful do not comprehend dependency on govt services. They believe the myth of self-sufficiency. That is, until those services are no longer available and then - holy hell do they complain about inadequate govt!! The answer is not cutting services; instead, raise taxes on the wealthy.

McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

Remove and replace the entire Trump administration. Remove MAGA from all levels of government. Most important, remove the oligarch's power - the billionaires who control the media, control the government, and control the economy - with wealth and income taxes. Restore democracy! #FightTheOligarchy

I suggest, to borrow your phrase, there is not a “way to ‘greed’ our way out of this” either. When societies have periods of great wealth inequality, they either adapt to improve the condition of the people, or they risk instability, collapse, or revolt. I believe it is better to chose the former.

Wondering if you are Liberal or Progressive? Read this simple article: thisvsthat.io/liberalism-v... I find myself supporting progressivism because I believe there are critical social, economic, and climate crises for which government must take an active, leading role to address.
Liberalism and progressivism are both political ideologies that share some common values and goals, but they also have distinct differences. Liberalism emphasizes individual rights, limited government intervention, and free-market capitalism. It seeks to protect civil liberties, promote equality of opportunity, and ensure social justice through a balance of personal freedom and government regulation. On the other hand, progressivism is a more modern and evolving ideology that focuses on social and economic reforms to address systemic inequalities and promote social justice. Progressives advocate for a more active role of government in addressing social issues, such as income inequality, healthcare, and climate change. While both ideologies aim to create a fair and just society, progressivism tends to be more interventionist and transformative in its approach, while liberalism leans towards preserving individual liberties and maintaining the status quo.

“Why I call myself a democratic socialist, is the words of Dr King decades ago, 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism; there must be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children in this country.' And that's what I'm focused on, is dignity and taking on income inequality."

You can practically smell the oligarch’s fear from here… Taxes are their kryptonite. They will spend hundreds of millions against raising their taxes and taking their power away. There’s no better sign this is the right thing to do!!! #FightTheOligarchy #TaxTheWealthy

What Padilla did was brave and sets an example others should follow. Images like these will help convince those who may have wavering support, and turn them fully against the Trump administration. The more people open their eyes, the closer we get to solving the problem. #Resist #MAGAisaCULT

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles. The federal government is turning the military against American citizens. This is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy.

On one hand, I have no sympathy for Musk. On the other hand, how unethical for the Pres. to cancel govt. funding over petty, personal squabbles. But here we are in America 2025. The best answer is the people elect politicians who will set things right. No billionaires or fascist in our government.

As one who grew up along the southeast US coast and has experienced, many times, the broad destruction hurricanes cause, it is unfathomable that the federal government would not provide recovery assistance. But the billionaires need their tax cuts, so…

I have seen this same post verbatim on a dozen accounts. Possibly bots. I disagree. Supporting Democrats does not require an unquestioning loyalty to incumbents. Any Democrat who is unwilling to take a stand in fierce opposition to MAGA should be replaced with someone who is willing.
