The Trump/GOP bill currently being debated in the Senate will destroy health coverage for millions in our country and further exacerbate the difference of wealth in our nation.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

SCOTUS right now.
A two-panel meme using a cartoon flower character. In the top panel, the flower is angrily yelling, with the caption: "WHEN A BAKER IS ASKED TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A GAY COUPLE." In the bottom panel, the same flower is smiling calmly, with the caption: "WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLACK BAGGED AND SENT TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN EL SALVADOR." The meme contrasts public outrage over LGBTQ+ rights with apathy toward human rights abuses.

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Dems don’t have a propaganda arm like Fox “News”. Dems don’t have oligarchs like Rupert Murdoch funding propaganda. Truth and integrity don’t align well with propaganda. The result is Dems will always have a “messaging” problem.

Since Monday, Trump has: Halted civil rights investigations, suspended public health advisories, frozen infrastructure spending, rescinded an executive order prohibiting discrimination by federal contractors and another one aimed at lowering drug prices. How does this help working people?

Why the fuck is a single Senate Democrat playing “everything is normal” by voting to confirm the Cabinet picks of a fucking dictator? Do. Not. Comply. You have ALL spent the last how many years calling him Hitler and now you’re like, ‘I’m a yes on Goebbels and here’s why…” Fuck that. Stop it. Now.

It’s not just that the billionaires control the economy. It’s not just that the billionaires increasingly control our political system. It’s that these oligarchs also control the media and the information the American people receive. This is a very dangerous situation.

Nice thought, but doomed to failure. Republicans have zero interest in doing anything for the American People. Their interest is in destroying government “of the people, by the people, for the people” and giving it all to oligarchs.

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
We would rather talk about literally everything else.
