Start with the first term, which will get you a head start of somewhere around 500 thousand needless COVID related deaths.

James Tate My lord he is going to kill us all for money.

The stupidest but very effective thing the GQP ever said was “We should run the country like a business” No, we should run it like a non profit foundation. Use resources wisely to do good things for the most people.

Ok. So here’s the plan: We need about 10 million wild eyed liberals who believe in equality and democracy to become official members of the GOP. Show up in primaries, volunteer, give some small money and fill out every poll question as a GOP liberal. And never vote for them in a general election

The defeat of Cuomo is important not just because he was endorsed by Drumpf but because he is EXACTLY the kind of Dem we need to retire- self serving, entitled, amoral, snd oriented to the status quo for the privileged and powerful. We don’t need blue versions of Drumpf.

What would life be like if the Federal minimum wage had been indexed to the CPI? What would our national economy look like if billionaires and corporations actually paid proportional tax like wage earners? If you want to dream Of equality Start with economics

I have no idea how, but somehow I am sure there’s a Nigerian Prince who needs money involved in this

Of course as a consequence the Republicans were out of power at the Federal level for 30 years and we recovered and led the world for two generations. So there’s that.

GOP converted the idea of America as a melting pot of diversity into a nation of suspended isotopes, separated into sealed vials, peering at one another with suspicion.

The more the obscenely wealthy and corporations press down, demand, arrange, abuse, and cement their power, the more they ignite opposition. We are approaching the stage where tearing it all down becomes not just attractive, but required to maintain existence.

For me, the greatest lost opportunity is the Democrats should be mobilizing food banks, support for urgent medical care needs, tapping donors for groceries and making a big damn spectacle of doing it. In all states.

I recall my Mom in the early 50s, divorced (😱) from my abusive dad, trying to feed us, pay rent, while getting treated for incurable cancer. No food stamps. No ADC. I was too young to know she was starving herself to feed me. That is happening again in America.

All of these sites can be repurposed for detaining ICE agents when it’s their turn to be screwed

The U.S.A. may be the first global empire that committed suicide in a single year.

We need to be much angrier than we already are. Much much angrier.

The arc of justice looks suspiciously like one of those giant bumpy water slides.

Assuming we get Drumpf out of office and regain the White House we will need to leave it unoccupied for a while and use a massive amount of sage to cleanse it of evil.

I already do. We lost our way almost 50 years ago when we fell for Reagan’s Voodoo Economics

Correction: We are not governed. We are oppressed.

Random Boomer Question: Now that we no longer have phone booths, where does Superman change his clothes?

Watching this I remember we gave lessons on non violent resistance back in the 60s and when the goons grab you, you go limp. Do not walk, do not struggle, so they must use manpower to carry you off, thus reducing their forces.

I have reached an age where people I never even heard of are publishing their memoirs

France understands how to protest better than most But they are very poor at compromise to heal differences The U.S. is bad at both.

Setting their sights on “ Antifa” 🚨

In other news, a flock of purple cows passed overhead this morning as they begin their annual migration

When I was a child I dreamed I fought battles, made enemies bleed Cut claws from dragons Warred with space aliens Hit all the home runs Long ago Now I give blood away Dragons are friendly cats Space is a wonder of science And my grandkids play by the rules Things Republicans never learned

Brutally spot-on. 😳👇

Question: does this come with the actual skill to play guitar? I always wished I could actually play something really well besides the harmonica.

Suppose we claw back all the massive tax cuts that went to the obscene wealthy and big corporations since Reagan That’s remarkably close to the exact amount of the national debt. It’s like $20 trillion Half goes to pay down the debt and half goes to the annual deficit. Make the U.S. rich again!

Democrats- we need to start talking about the bills people can’t pay. Healthcare costs. Housing prices. Grocery bills. School budgets. Property taxes. These aren’t just economic issues – they’re proof that MAGA governance is a scam that hurts the very people who vote for it. - Diane Ravitch

If , as seems at least possible, the Toronto Blue Jays actually win the World Series, I hope they decline any invite to the White House and instead visit the Canadian Prime Minister. Baseball deserves to think of itself as truly international. And it would piss off Drumpf, which is reason enough.

Any day now someone will plant a bomb at the Reichstag and we will get martial law declared.

I thought it would take two weeks like everything else

On some level, the willingness of a large part of the U.S. population to believe any load of crap the Republicans dish out is reason enough to explain the decline of America.

I wonder if they would even notice if a few hundred thousand people surrounded the Court in protest. If my house was as insulated as theirs I could heat it all winter with a candle.

We can't abolish the Supreme Court.. we need to expand it and put limits to the terms!! We can't abolish the senate.. we need to vote to change the majority to democrats.. in both house and senate.. then we need to write and pass laws to prevent all this unconstitutional crap.. day 1.. 2026..

See that you don’t. Don’t cave or back down. That would be political suicide

Every official, Judge, President, Senator, Congresscritter, should have to spend at least one week every year without Secret Service protection. We could learn a lot by how they act. The more they live apart in their own world, the less likely they can be useful

Yes! Bring back the steam locomotive and black lung Bring back polio and diphtheria Bring back lynching and masks Bring back ballot stuffing and fat cats And wars on helpless people to erect plantations on their land Let us have ethnic cleansing and watch as America disappears into history

The only legal basis for the guns of 2A is to resist tyranny. How long will they defend this if those same guns were to actually be used for that purpose?

Which is why they are masked and violently opposed to being identified

You want reciprocal tariffs? For every 1% increase in the cost of living, every corporation >$100 Million gets an identical increase in corporate taxes and every individual with income above $1 Million gets the same.

The plan is “Abundance for me and subservience for thee” For 50 years we have suffered through he nonsense that tax cuts for the rich and giant corporations would create prosperity for all. Are you feeling rich yet? Got your offshore tax haven rolling? Got your tax at 2% yet?

It’s not the money- especially as these are likely only the tip of the iceberg It’s the sense of entitlement and immunity

Dems are so focused showing how atrocious everything Trump and his band of incompetents are that once again they are swallowing their own message. Tell everyone what will you do, name your program and sell it Be bold. Go big. Set the tone. Walk AND chew gum, please

When some people’s brain interface registers flat lines, it won’t be the AI computer’s fault
