Refusal to vote is a valid form of speech, one that says "I reserve the right to be a condescending, smug prick that trusts our future and how the world perceives us to 200 million under-educated, over-opinionated American voters while saying "Don't blame me! I didn't vote!"

Michael Steele, the first African American chairman of the RNC, tells tRump that he’s “a vile, disgusting man, petty and pathetic.”
Lots of good stuff like that. Maybe this will be the last straw?

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

When you’re losing hope.
Take a deep breath.
Close your eyes.
Think back to when this guy was your president.
When you could associate the presidency with class, decency and integrity.
Now open your eyes
And fight like hell to get someone like him back in office again.
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Everyone needs to know about Sascha Riley.
Search “Boys are hard to find” on Substack and listen to the six part interview
Who agrees? ✋
I don’t know who made this, but it’s spot on!!
It's painfully obvious to anyone with a brain who is paying attention.
A letter from Miss Piggy to Donald trump for using her name as if it was a profanity
From the Facebook page: Fear and Loathing: Closer to the Edge:
Eloquence, as usual, from Miss Piggy,
new song dropped from crump
"quiet piggy"
I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.
Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.
Switching from Trump’s Amazon to the more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Costco is easier than you think. I made the switch. Now everything I need is delivered by Costco right to my door in two hours instead of two days - and without supporting oligarchs!
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica
No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury.
No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty.
You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse.
Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.
