I automatically block certain people who follow me: Accounts about spreading religion, accounts about pictures of pretty girls, accounts about sharing the winnings of a lottery, accounts about MLM and other scams (including "entrepreneur coaching"). Some of you folks are wasting your time.
Every word of it.
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Accurate. Capitalism thrives on destruction. It's past time to find another way.
Defense stocks dropping because peace talks are progressing is the perfect summary of capitalism: good news for humanity is bad news for shareholders.

This, in a big way. Discovering more about how the universe works, at both the micro and the macro, has served us well.

And much of the GOP with him.
In the end, it didn’t cut government spending, and there was no promised “savings.” In the end, DOGE destroyed countless lives, ravaged American soft power, killed hundreds of thousands of people around the world (soon millions), & stole your data.

This could be huge. If enough Rs leave to hand the Ds the majority, the Ds can put a stop to a lot of Traitor One's bullshit.

Elect a clown, get a circus. Elect a traitor, get treasonweasels running your government. We got both because half the nation consists of morons. Lucky us.
The Trump admin keeps making things worse as they try to lie their way out of the crisis around the so-called Ukraine “peace plan.” We break it all down, and dissect all the weekend’s news, in today’s bulletin. We’ve made this one 100% paywall free: www.meidasplus.com/p/this-weeke...

If you get a chance, watch The American Revolution, which just finished its initial run on @pbs.org. TV doesn't get better than that. All the episodes are available on the PBS app, which is free. Please try to get others to watch it, too. Those messages are still important today.

"Moron whisperer" - I'm going to borrow that. 🙂
It turns out the newly elected Mayor of New York City is a skilled moron whisperer and it is sending MAGA into a full blown panic attack.

Truth. We have drifted VERY far away from our nation's better values. Watching Ken Burns's The American Revolution brings it crashing home.
The common good is a set of shared commitments.
To the rule of law. To democracy. To tolerance. To equal opportunity. To upholding the truth.
We cannot have a functioning society without these shared commitments.

Damn right. I am all over this agenda.
Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:
-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage
Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.
That is the path forward.

So the New York Times helped Traitor One conceal his many crimes and, consequently, helped him steal the first election and go on his merry way to raping the nation, along with both girls and boys.
Fuck the New York Times with poisoned cacti.

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies
