Schumer voting with Fetterman and the GOP for Israeli support, against Bernie Sanders and the majority of democrats, is a prime example of how out of touch some of our representatives are.
The country we deserve depends on replacing and prosecuting our oppressors and their collaborators.
As the cost of living goes up and scarcity expands, remember that none of this was part of our lives *before* the GOP controlled Congress, the Supreme Court, the presidency, the Pentagon and much of the states where poverty, ignorance and poor health are at their worse.
🚫🐘💩
Trump's just a mascot.
Again, *WE* are the heroes we need.
The GOP won't stop lying, cheating and bullying us into destruction until we ruse up against them and remove them from power.
We must be more vigilant than Iran, Russia or Israel in our pusuit of the country we deserve.

California is currently weighing a ballot initiative that would institute a one-time wealth tax on billionaires living in the state.
Thank you to More Perfect Union for letting me share some thoughts on why I think it's a good idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvNw8o3LkJo
For those not feeling exceptionally radical, there is this, tame, perspective:

Any politician unwilling to take a stance like this *will* fail all of us. 💪🏽
All the good people are gonna be in camps and plantations and prisons and graves. 🤪
See you on the other side, revolutionaries. ✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾
Of course, we'd rather flip the GOP and create the world we deserve; but, either way, the fight's worth it. 🌞
The GOP answer to national NO KINGS protest?
According to the Washington Post, it's the Pentagon announcing plans to expand their billion-dollars-a-day war in Iran with plans for ground troops:

This is in addition to what they've already done.
🐘💩🤬
We don't need to fix our broken systems.
We need to replace our old systems with new, equitable, sustainable and revolutionary systems.
If old answers solved modern problems we wouldn't be suffering now.
✊🏾✊🏻✊🏿
How is your resistance approaching sustems?
As you prepare for No Kings Day, consider the beggar's family and the roots of bone spurs:

Of course, Ashley Thee Barroness is giving good.
You know this, right. 😃
In 6 days, the next NO KINGS demonstration will shake our streets.
If you can't, or won't, make an appearance to support this historic event, showing online support is the least you can do.

Don't fall for anything. Stand for something!

We can't fund public education but can bomb schools in Gaza & Iran
We can't fund affordable housing but can build concentration camps & private prisons
We can't fund school lunch but Hegseth can buy millions in steak, lobster, & king crab
We've always had funds—we lack politicians with integrity
Is it happening again?
There's plenty of diversion on Bluesky; but, if you've spent the last year chasing politics and following revolutionaries, it may be hard to see anything but what you've been hunting.
A few searches for lighter fare can do each of some good.
Of course, there's always offline diversions to enjoy. ✌🏾
Expecting anything else from this convicted sex-predator is insane.
He told the world he was this kind of creep over a decade ago. 🤬
Making George Carlin more of a prophet than a comedian was never the plan; but, we'll take it.
Whatever it takes for people to catch on, grow an inclusive conscience and stop falling for the ever-evolving grifts from the far right and the obscenely rich — we're all in for it.
This is a long-term effect that is coming from this brief war.
As the GOP's felon administration bumbles through extending the tragedy, costs like this will continue to mount, not only for America, but the world.
United CEO says the company is planning for oil to reach $175/barrel and not fall back down to $100/barrel until the end of 2027

At this time last year, most American news and entertainment venues had nothing to say about Nowruz.
With GOP madmen adamant about attacking Iran, the Iranian New Day (Persian New Year) is suddenly more interesting than ever before.
We wish Americans were open to embrace Iran without bloodshed.
It’s a felony to steal someone’s private Social Security data and give it to a third party without consent.
When DOGE did that 500 million times, they committed 500 MILLION FELONIES!

We all deserve better than the best the GOP can offer.
Their greed and discrimination always leave the country worse off than it was before they gain power. This has been the case since Nixon.
You know we deserve better than the GOP is offering.
The deficit, once again ballooning under GOP policies, is nearly double what it was when Trump said he would eliminate the deficit. 🤬
This is a basic, rational response.
As you hear kind words from your oppressors, remember: in our reality, the most evil amongst us believe they are benevolent agents of righteous causes, even when their means are death, destruction and demoralisation.
We may never convince such zealots of their errors; but, we can stop them. 💪🏾
Based on the billion-dollar-per-day cost of the Iran War so far, the GOP has already committed to spending over $1,000 per citizen — without asking for anything.
Congress has done nothing but actively support this spending.
Every day, this spending continues; but, related expenses are mounting. 🤬
