I'm not incomprehensible.
Anyone working third party right now is doing a vanity project, instead of recognizing the urgency of the moment.
The GOP must be stopped.
Their platform is death, death, depopulation, plague, starvation, fires, eugenics, lies, thievery, and collapse of ecosystems ffs

i say this often, but if you're going to be serious about thinking, and sharing your thoughts, during this convoluted chaotic conflict era, you have to police your goddamn assumptions. Don't see something happening? go fucking look for it before just telling everyone it's not happening. thank u 🇺🇸🗽⚖️

That Trump is doing more bad things every day isn't the same as him getting away with doing them.
It gives him that impression and gives us the impression he is, but it's being documented, and he is being resisted vigorously, bipartisanly even, even if tech overlords hide those efforts from us.

Heads up, journalists!

Another cache of Epstein emails is being released.

It is separate from the cache that Bloomberg received.

The new cache contains approximately 20,900 unredacted emails and file attachments sent and received by Jeffrey Epstein over nineteen years and the cases against him.

The time to stop the Trump administration from dragging us into war with Venezuela is not after the bombs start falling. It’s right now.

If Congress doesn't do its job, we accept the role Trump is relegating us to:

Constitutional afterthought.

We need to go back
to our best efforts to be honest. We fail, but the average works
out infinitely better than grift.

We can have leadership
that works at being leaders, or leadership that works
at deceiving us.

Our money is better spent
on the real and impacts
are much less painful

We're waiting on both sides of the aisle to see how bad it's going to get before we take real risks to stop it, but his desperation is being allowed to seed in that time, HE already knows the stakes, for US to endure his heinous plans, and for US to depose him.

The ideal plot development would be for ICE and National Guard to both turn on their heels and go remove the regime.

Putting the DNC in the hot seat
for all this is among the most infuriatingly dipshitted things.
Gave US the best candidate.
We picked the pile of dogshit.
Now RNC has a war chest a mile high. Forget criticizing Dems.
It's as stupid as bitching about cushions in lifeboats while the ship sinks🇺🇸

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.

Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.

They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

We've come full circle in America. It's time to clean house. We've been too patient, too lenient, & too tolerant of tyranny, traitors, & treason for far too long. We've been backstabbed, robbed, dishonored, & betrayed by our employees. They have failed us. We the People cannot fail ourselves.

It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!
