Give this pussy the heave ho. It's about punishing the Nazis. Can't do anything else until that happens. We can't have a functioning society until that day. BTW this agenda is for white people who haven't been terrorized by ICE or sent to a concentration camp and only care about gas prices.

What even is GOP’s sales pitch for the midterms? Inflation - up Gas prices - way up War in Ukraine - still going War in Iran - still going Houthis - out of control Beef prices - record highs Public health - people are dying from the fucking measles No wins to speak of.

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.
