Billionaires make up only 0.0003% of the U.S. population.
They made 19% of federal campaign donations in 2024.
THIS is why our politics are broken. We need to get big money out of politics NOW.

“Dear Herr Gemlich
…Its final objective, however, must be the total removal of all Jews from our midst…

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power
"Spread the Word: Legal Immigration Is Difficult" [Alexander Kustov]
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
This disgusting shit doesn’t belong in American society.
And Republicans who support it don’t belong in Congress.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
Still crazy that the president’s lawyer spent two days with Ghislaine Maxwell, she “cleared” him of wrongdoing and was almost immediately transferred to a more pleasant prison and nobody in the administration will explain it and the media acts like two large dots are just impossible to connect.
the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings
That's a different day. He wasn't wearing an overcoat.
Renee Good was also shot at point-blank range through her side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger
Alex Pretti wasn’t in a car, but he too was shot at point-blank range by an ICE agent who was in no danger
It seems every time ICE kills someone they lie to cover up shooting innocent people

These four men did more to destroy the video game industry than any woman or minority
there are a large number of left-leaning men who are absolutely desperate to defeat the fact that left-of-center politics are coded female. but the way to do this is not with campaigning for the White Working Class Whisperer, it's with intersectional feminism.
Trump saluting a flag-draped casket carried by soldiers, wearing his standard ill fitting suit and a white baseball hat that says USA in gold letters visible from space
I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.
Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
Operation Ajax: In 1953, Iran had a democratically elected PM, Mohammad Mossadegh. His real offense was daring to take control of Iran’s oil so the wealth would benefit the Iranian people instead of foreign corporations. The Shah was installed as a Western backed dictator who ruled for decades.
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
Over-purging Florida voter rolls was also how Republicans stole the election in 2000 for Bush. Justices John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett were young lawyers working for the GOP on the Florida recount.
These people are literally nuts and they're leading us into a holy war.
The pattern of authoritarians using war for their own ends appears throughout history. War is used to redirect attention away from domestic scandals, political losses, and unpopular policies. It often creates an atmosphere where expanding state power can be framed as national defense
were we wearing a suit when we asked? did we say please and thank you? it’s important to be grateful.
Let’s have an impeachment instead.
Of the entire administration.
They were also raised hearing their parents talk this way behind closed doors for their entire lives. They think it's normal.
The parents and grandparents of today's young Republicans.
We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.
Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.
They take testosterone.
NEW: A Democratic candidate in the primary in Eric Swalwell’s district raised $2M in the first two weeks of her campaign from unknown donors.
Rakhi Israni’s personal political donations have gone to over 10 MAGA and far right candidates including Laura Loomer.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
