Hey kids. I'm in my 60s. You've never lived in an America where the rich paid their fair share. I have.
Let me tell you what that was like:
• We built new schools
• We built new highways
• We cut the poverty rate
• We lead the world in technology
• WE WENT TO THE FREAKING MOON

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

How much is the deck stacked against us, friends? This much ⏵

This is the front page of today’s #BrokenNYTimes, the page most people go to (not the /US/ page).

Notice anything missing?

(Hint: On what recent day was the largest one-day protest in US history?)

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

She did it because the government isn’t.

This is what she found.

Mike Johnson’s not a Speaker; he’s a spokesman. The House doesn’t move until Trump says fetch.

Johnson won’t bring the House back until Trump wants them back.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Your old posts are there forever, Mike.

A tweet from Shannon Watts says: “Is this you?” quoting a post from Mike Lee that says: “Why Stairs Are A Threat To Humanity,” with a photo of someone tripping while climbing stairs to Air Force One. Below, another tweet from Mike Lee reads: “No decent person — any certainly no conservative person — should mock an 83-year-old’s fall. That was heartbreaking, and the thought of anyone finding it amusing is hard to fathom.”
