I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

Not how this works. The Constitution is clear: the states control elections. They're going to do everything they can to mess with the election because they've got nothing but a shitty record to run on.

Trump's DHS secretary says the Trump admin will withhold election grants to states unless state voter registration lists are "scrubbed"

This woman is bat-shit crazy.
Refusing to pay rent = “liberatory vision of home”
Paying on the schedule you agreed upon when signing the lease = “making this rent payment at the barrel of a gun”
Landlords who decide to rent to you = “Exploitation and domination”
Having an apt available for you to rent (because you don’t want to sleep in a park) = “Hoarding the places where we live”
No one forces someone to sign a lease.

If you find yourself defending a child molester, saying: “WE can’t be judged by OUR worst day”, you probably need to have your hard drives checked. x.com/WesternLensman…

Donald Trump promised to lower costs “on Day One.”
But everyday costs are through the roof, forcing more people to take out “Buy Now, Pay Later” loans just to make it through the month.
And now these loans – originally marketed as no interest – are ramping up fees on Americans.

Why has no one been arrested?

China paid the media to instigate the BLM riots holy crap

@CBSNews Did you just witness what happened in California??? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️

President Trump claimed "mail-In ballots are inherently corrupt," while advocating for his SAVE America Act, which would ban mail-in voting, except in certain cases.
FACT CHECK RATING: False.
There is no evidence of widespread mail-in ballot fraud or corruption in states where no-excuse absentee or universal vote-by-mail is offered. The Brookings Institute found an “average total mail voting fraud percentage across the 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 general elections of only 0.000043%, or about four cases of mail voting fraud out of every 10 million mail votes.”
English
President Trump announced that his administration is declassifying intelligence that reveals "shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," including "hacking, exploitation and foreign interference."
FACT CHECK RATING: False.
Officials have repeatedly said election infrastructure remains secure.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said there was “no evidence of any malicious activity” affecting the integrity of the 2024 elections. CISA also said the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history,” with no evidence that voting systems deleted, lost or compromised votes.

@mattvanswol They are all Rhinos!! They love money and hate America!!!

I'm so fucking sick of the GOP.
"We can't do anything."
Shut the fuck up. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
You have the House. The Senate. The White House. A Supreme Court majority.
The most unified government you've had in years, and you're telling me you CAN'T DO ANYTHING?????
You have RECONCILIATION.
You know, the filibuster-proof tool Democrats used to ram through trillions in spending with FIFTY votes?
It's sitting right there.
Do you morons understand what happens if Democrats take the midterms?
It's over.
Not "tough." Not "a setback."
FUCKING OVER.
Every DOGE cut? Gone. Did you forget you still need to CODIFY THOSE into law?!
Executive orders? Erased.
Regulation cuts? Reversed.
Border policy? Deleted.
Years of work, torched in one election cycle, because you kept saying "we'll get to it" like we gave a DAMN that you "tried".
Guess what happens when Democrats win, dumbasses?
They start passing bills.
They actually DO everything you won't do, for God knows what reason.
You're telling me if they win, they won't NUKE the filibuster ON DAY ONE?!
They've SAID it out loud, repeatedly, on camera!!!!!
Transgender plays in Uganda? Back.
Elmo in Afghanistan? Back.
NPR/PBS funding? Probably DOUBLED out of spite.
ICE? Defunded.
DC and Puerto Rico statehood? Yep.
Court packing? THEY SAID SO THIS WEEK!!!!!
Every single "crazy" thing you swore would never happen becomes a floor vote the second they hold the gavel.
Because THEY actually use power when they have it.
That's the difference between you and them, and it's fucking humiliating.
Meanwhile YOU can't even pass the SAVE Act.
Requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is an 80/20 issue.
The easiest layup in American politics... and GOD FORBID YOU CHANGE SOME ARCHAIC SENATE RULES TO GET IT DONE because you'd rather have the ISSUE than the LAW.
You won't defund the fucking TALIBAN.
We're still watching taxpayer money leak into Afghanistan and your response is a strongly worded letter and a subcommittee hearing nobody watches.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?????
Don't tell me there's no time.
The House is scheduled for barely over 100 legislative days this year.
You work a THIRD of the year.
Teachers work more days than you.
AND SOMEHOW you STILL ARE FINDING ROOM FOR EVEN MORE VACATIONS!!!!!!!
GOD FORBID you actually put in some effort.
But no. Instead you give us tweets.
Fox News hits.
Cringe-ass TikToks.
Podcast appearances.
NOBODY GIVES A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR CONTENT.
Not one of us. Zero.
You're not influencers. You're lawmakers.
So make some fucking laws.
That's the job It's all we've EVER asked you to do.
Trump won't be on the ballot next time to drag YOUR SORRY ASSES ACROSS THAT FINISH LINE.
You really think you can come home, look us in the eye, and recycle the same excuses?
After THIS?
No. Not this time.
The stakes are way too high and our patience is gone.
Completely gone.
Stop telling us what you'd do "if only you had the power."
YOU HAVE THE POWER. RIGHT NOW. TODAY.
If you're too cowardly to use it, then stop fucking asking us for more of it.
...and don't act all shocked when the people you keep taking for granted stop showing up to save you from yourselves.

Tell it to me straight…
How many of you think the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump?

This is a 25th Amendment moment.
I just watched the ramblings of a mad king and what else can I say — the only thing missing was tin foil.
Donald Trump is trying to rig our elections and we have to stop him.
Show up and VOTE this November.
English
Donald Trump lost Georgia in 2020. That's not my opinion, it's a fact. The votes were counted, recounted, audited, and litigated.
He lost.
English
Tonight, America watched the ramblings of a mad king.
Donald Trump’s address was not about the last election — it was THIS one.
Before a single vote has been cast, he’s already laying the groundwork to rig this election and convince YOU not to trust the results if they don’t go his way.
This is what authoritarians do. Don’t fall for it.
Organize. Mobilize. SHOW UP and VOTE in November!
English
Well folks, as expected, Trump revealed essentially nothing new.
His speech was just lies & long-debunked conspiracies about the 2020 election.
This is all just a prelude to interfere in our midterms — don’t fall for it.

Imagine opening your property tax bill and seeing it cut by thousands of dollars.
That's exactly what my 1% property tax cap will do.
The largest tax cut in Illinois history.

Not now. Not ever.
The SAVE Act is dead on arrival in the United States Senate.

There is an ongoing parvo outbreak on Skid Row. Many dogs are sick and dying. This is a crisis (on top of a crisis). The city won’t talk about it. This is devastating.
