The oligarchy worldwide is doing massive damage. To ALL OF US who aren't millionaires. They're screwing us over the world over. Seems like the problem is the rich & their feckless political puppets who they purchase or rent to do their bidding. And that's the problem. What are we gonna do about it?
Republicans don’t care about you.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.
