It’s “Colombia” YOU ABSOLUTE DUMBASS
The system is rigged so that we work to make the rich richer while more and more we flounder. Then they tell us to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. But, they’ve left us without the means for boots, let alone bootstraps.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Most Americans are genuinely good people, regardless of their political affiliation.
So when the White House says horrible things to make you hate your neighbor, the White House IS THE PROBLEM.

Official count estimates are up - before it was "nearly 7m" then it was "roughly 7m" now it is officially "more than 7m." Trend is up!

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.
I’m not so sure Fluffy in the second box would agree that ‘everyone’ is welcome.
Why do you think they’re trying to kill off the elderly with so many of their policies?
THIS is why we march.
As a Democrat, I recognize that they both suck.
This isn’t a Red vs Blue issue. It’s not a Liberal vs Conservative issue. This is an Us vs Them issue. The Rich don’t care about political labels. They only care about enriching themselves.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.
Hoosiers: You know what to do…
The President is getting involved after in-person pleading by the VP still couldn’t get these Indiana legislators to execute Trump’s gerrymandering plan.

They’ve held off because they know it’s wrong - and because our pressure is working. So let’s keep it up!
