Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I love how Axios (among other outlets) are pretending they don't know what AI Trump was dropping from his jet. It's so typical and pathetic.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

As DC was taken over by Trump’s secret police, where were congressional Democrats? They weren’t in DC and some weren’t even in the US. Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.

Former Vice President Harris is correct in recognizing that the system is broken. However, it’s vital to acknowledge the Democratic Party has enabled the system to remain that way. That’s why the Democratic Party must take a moment for introspection.

Understand the indignity of air dropping food on Gaza. The March air drop killed 5 Palestinians. Air drops force Palestinians to scavenge for food like animals. This could all be avoided if Israel ended its barbaric blockade, or if world leaders had the courage to break it. Instead, more genocide

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.  But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately. Remember this.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

LGBTQ+ people exist and will continue to exist regardless of what a corrupt court says. Those who want to opt their kids out of exposure to this truth are in denial. People who deny reality shouldn’t get to wield institutions to force a delusional worldview on others.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them
WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

Joni Ernst simply said out loud what has been the neoliberal motto for everyone else for decades. It doesn't take a scholar to understand this. 23 years ago, Corey Taylor wrote the lyrics in a Stone Sour song: "and we're all going to die one day because that's the American way".
