The richest 0.1% of Americans hold nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90% of families combined. We need a wealth tax now.

Dems, WTF? We’ve got wannabe fascists running our government and it’s looking like we’ll sweep the elections in November, so let’s start a civil war in our party to see who’s more of a Democrat?!?! Snap out of it!

Where are the resignations from ICE and CBP??? I guarantee you there are at least *some* who know this is wrong but arectaking the path of least resistance (“following orders”). They need to step down and speak up

Is it better to have a president who forgets a name occasionally or one who never bothered to learn it in the first place? One who might flub a fact in a detailed answer or one who responds that he’s looking at it very strongly, whatever it is. Sure it’s whataboutism, it’s not irrelevant.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967. Yes, trillion. On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024. We must ensure fair wages for all.

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.
