Far-right billionaire Peter Theil says he doesn't believe in democtacy. Why care? He just spent hundreds of millions to install...Vance as Vice President. He & Vance have publicly claimed "democracy should be ripped out like a tumor." They credit blogger Curtis Yarvin as their inspiration. He says, and I quote: "A government is just a corporation. Corporations are run by CEOs, who are simply dictators. Americans need to delete the government, he devised an acronym for his plan: "R.A.G.E." which stands for "Retire All Government Employees." Trump declared he'd give them payouts if they quit. MAGA wants you to think dictatorships are more etticient, but Russia's economy is collapsing. China is in a severe banking crisis, and oh yeah, and North Korea is starving. Don't be fooled Instead of bullets, fascists now use bribes.

IMO ~ it was always Vance they wanted in there…..

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.

Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.

But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.

Trickle down hoax.

I did Na-Zi this coming.
Actually I did
Trump has allowed the toxicity of the GOP to let's it ugly freak flags out on full display
I am hopeful the overwhelming majority of US are sick of it & will #VotBlue2026 for decency, kindness & tolerance once again

Same. I keep pushing this. We need this to be a huge success.

Step it up. #MayDay

Wage growth is slowing. Inflation is on the rise. Consumer sentiment has hit a record low. Millions are struggling to make ends meet.

But corporate profits have skyrocketed despite massive layoffs and the stock market is up.

New "golden age" for who exactly?

PRO PUBLICA: “only 2% of 800 immigrants arrested for violent crimes… 3/4ths of all arrests non-violent…”

@GovBillLee Sexton @SenBrentTaylor @MarshaBlackburn say the MEMPHIS task force is arresting mostly violent criminals.

The numbers disagree.

"Every time you try to break my body, you fuel my spirit." Aliya Rahman was dragged from her car and denied medical care—now she’s taking the DHS to court. You need to read her story: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-resist...

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

When the shitty Fox says something unfavorable about the government's politics, you can count on it being true!

"Winning the 2026 midterms" is the wrong goal and frame for dems. It should be "stopping fascism".

If the latter doesn't happen, the former is irrelevant.

If the latter happens, the former is automatic.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

During the entire insane scene where he yelled at aides, blamed Europe for not helping, and worried about comparisons to Carter's Iran crisis, Donald Trump continued to obsess about his ballroom, and mused about giving himself the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in US history.

"The world is uniting against Donald Trump. This week made that impossible to ignore. On Saturday, the leaders of Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Colombia, South Africa, and Uruguay stood together in Barcelona at a summit built specifically to counter him."

Sean Hannity, the Fred Flintstone of shameless propaganda, has declared he will no longer be a Catholic because he worships Donald Trump—and the money it brings in—more.

Sean had to declare publicly that he will no longer be following his faith—because how else would anyone be able to tell?

🤣🤣🤣Perfect response little ones.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter.

And I think today was an important turning point
