This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Cricket’s revenge.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ... there's info on who to complain to to try to stop this at the end of the article, lets share this message and try our best to stop it.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.
What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Hey Congress!!
United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.
How does it feel to be nuetered?
What are you doing?
SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????
congress sounds cool i wish it was real
I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
Then what happened?
This is obviously being done to put the US in a "state of war" where any campaigning and any votes against the GOP, as well as any disagreement on policy, are acts of sedition.
The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former “Fox & Friends” guest and a former “Fox & Friends” host.
Would sure be nice to preserve their habitat. #Birds #Raptors
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
ICYMI: The “SAVE America Act” has been called the “Jim Crow Act” for a reason. The attack on citizens who are Black, Latino, Asians, Native Americans, is real. It hurts women who changed their names after marriage, ppl who struggle to buy food!. #votingrights are all our rights!
The fact that there’s a secret network of doulas going around Minneapolis to help with home births for parents afraid of ICE should be front-page news.
These children, born in secrecy, are American citizens.
Maine-based protesters against the Trump administration’s immigration-enforcement surge sued Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and other DHS officials Monday for allegedly collecting their personal data and threatening them in retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights.
