Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?

If what Superman says or does goes against your beliefs, maybe you should take a sec and examine those beliefs, chief

House Republicans tell us we can’t afford nutrition assistance for hungry kids, Medicaid for people with disabilities or Pell grants for college students. But we can afford a new $235 billion estate tax break to the top two-tenths of 1%. Complete hypocrisy.

In all times, but especially dark times, we can turn to fiction to find meaning, joy, and inspiration. Immortal Thor #21 "What do they deserve who have fought tooth and nail? Who fight on still? Am I to surrender before they do?"

and everything they do is in their own best interest. Don't fall for the distractions villainizing the poverty-stricken "other," or the soft-serve public media version of what's happening. We are in unprecedented, awful times because of these rich, evil men.

Things are honestly fucked in America right now. The M*sk-Tr*mp campaign is a fascist coup and move towards oligarchal dictatorship, and the people with the power to fight back are doing so, so little. M*sk-Tr*mp are grabbing power without regard for rule of law

Y'all really voted to end the republic? Shit, I woulda lent y'all some damn eggs.

If Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, can arbitrarily fire hundreds of thousands of federal employees without cause, think of what he’ll do to workers in the private sector. Today, it’s federal workers. Tomorrow, it’s *your* job. That’s what oligarchy is about.

Yes. We have a major constitutional crisis. Americans did not fight and die to protect democracy so that the richest man in the world could single-handedly dismantle agencies that protect workers, consumers & children. Together, we can and will defeat Trump’s authoritarianism.

DEI benefits us all. The move towards anti-DEI harms all save for the billionaires who profit from our division. /end

The lack of diversity in the workplace hurts diversity of ideas, the lack of equity starts with minorities and extends out to anyone who isn’t a billionaire, and the lack of inclusion efforts makes it hard for anyone new to break in. /3

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) came about in part because it was found that the people hiring for jobs would frequently choose white candidates over other candidates regardless of how qualified they were. /1

Across multiple states, Black women, men, and students have received disturbing, racist text messages from an unknown source, urging them to report to a plantation to pick cotton. Our President and CEO @DerrickNAACP responded: "The unfortunate reality of electing a President who, historically has embraced, and at times encouraged hate, is unfolding before our eyes. The threat — and the mention of slavery in 2024 — is not only deeply disturbing, but perpetuates a legacy of evil that dates back to before the Jim Crow era, and now seeks to prevent Black Americans from enjoying the same freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. These actions are not normal. And we refuse to let them be normalized." Read more about this alarming incident and our commitment to fighting this hate. naacp.org/articles/naacp…

They say we get the leaders we deserve. Either that has just been disproven, or this is not the America we all thought we were living in.

The amazing thing about villains like the orange goblin is that, eventually, they always turn on their lackeys, too. Their wants and needs will always be #1 above all else.
