May Day is the heartbeat of the working class, a day to unite and rise together! Let's stand shoulder to shoulder, celebrating our strength and resilience, while boldly resisting the divisive legacy of Trump. Today, we honor labor, solidarity + fight for a fairer future—together, we are unstoppable!

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

and today :D Karoline Leavitt calling Amazon listing Trump Tariffs online hostile and political. Absolute shite administration.

I would just like to take a moment to exercise my constitutional rights today to say that Karoline Leavitt is a lying, hypocritical twat, and that the President of the United States is a lying sack of shit. Also, you missed this sign on the WH lawn, you fucking goblins.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

It's encouraging to see a new group of energetic politicians and citizens emerging to counter the MAGA madness.

brilliant work, fucking morons. @realDonaldTrump Houthi PC small group all the top officials in a signal text chain? Just casually texting each other war plans, timing and weapons? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG W UR BRAIN HOLES?! THIS IS WHY TV PERSONALITIES SHOULD NOT BE IN CHARGE OF SECURITY AND SAFETY.

70% of Americans live PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK and don't have $500 in savings. How are we supposed to participate in an evolved society if we are kept desperate? (We aren't) #WiseUpRiseUp #DemandLivingWages #DJTLies

William Hogarth – "The Rake’s Progress" (1733-1735) Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, UK Mocking decadence of court. skewers moral failings of elite, including kings like George II, whose courts were rife corruption. Royal indulgence enables societal decay, calling monarchs to task for complicity.

Francisco Goya – "The Third of May 1808" (1814) Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain: Targeting Napoleon’s regime, the work broadly condemns kings and rulers who wield power brutally, holding them accountable for the blood of the innocent. Goya’s visceral depiction demands reckoning for such atrocities.

Citizens have been refusing tyranny and calling leaders to account for centuries. DO NOT COMPLY. It is your civil right to criticize, question, and be skeptical. Question authority. #Resist #RiseUpRegular #WiseUpRiseUp #SpeakThroughArt #GetLoud #GetWild #Protest

Hans Holbein the Younger – "The Ambassadors" (1533) National Gallery, London, UK - This painting subtly mocks the vanity and arrogance of the powerful—including monarchs like Henry VIII, Holbein’s patron—reminding them that their grandeur is temporary and accountable to inevitable decay. #resist

Pieter Bruegel the Elder – "The Triumph of Death" (c. 1562) Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain - skeletons wreaking havoc on humanity, with kings, nobles + peasants alike falling to death’s impartial scythe. A crowned skeleton clutches a king’s robes, dragging him down. #resist

Ambrogio Lorenzetti – "The Allegory of Good and Bad Government" (1338-1339) Palazzo Pubblico, Siena, Italy Contrasts effects of just + tyrannical rule. The "Bad Government" panel depicts a crowned figure, often interpreted as a corrupt ruler or tyrant, surrounded by Cruelty, Treason + Fraud. #resist

Taxing the top 20 at 90% ($2.34T), next 20 at 75% ($675B), and next 60 at 50% ($600B) totals $3.615 trillion. That’s spot-on for the $3–4 trillion kickstart—surplus at the low end, slightly short at the high end. It could rebuild war-torn economies and slash poverty for a year...

With $3.615 trillion: Low End ($3T): We’re $615 billion ahead—a surplus. High End ($4T): We’re $385 billion short. This lands us squarely in the target zone, covering 90–120% of the goal depending on the exact need.

Kickstart $3–4 trillion—a one-time push to halve global poverty (3.5 billion people below $6.85/day) and rebuild conflict zones.

Applying the Tax Rates Top 20 at 90%: 90% of $2.6 trillion = $2.34 trillion. Next 20 at 75%: 75% of $900 billion = $675 billion. Next 60 at 50%: 50% of $1.2 trillion = $600 billion. Total haul: $2.34T + $675B + $600B = $3.615 trillion.

Total wealth of the top 100: $2.6T + $900B + $1.2T = $4.7 trillion. Top 100 typically hold 35–40% of all billionaire wealth (~$12 trillion globally).

Next 60 (41–100): Here, net worths fall from ~$30B to ~$10B. Top 100 hold ~$4.5–5T total. Sub top 40’s ~$3.5T($2.6T + $900B) leaves ~$1–1.5T for #41–100. Call it $1.2 trillion for these 60.

Historical data suggests the top 26 held $2.872 trillion, so subtracting the top 20’s $2.6 trillion leaves ~$272 billion for #21–26. Extrapolating to #40, with a smoother drop-off, their total wealth is likely $800 billion–$1 trillion. Let’s use $900 billion as a mid-point. #EatTheRich #WeAreHungry

Wealth distro among billionaires follows steep curve—huge at the top, tapering fast. Here’s a breakdown: Top 20: As before, roughly $2.6 trillion total. Think Musk ($250B), Arnault ($200B), Bezos (~$180B), down to #20 at ~$50–60B. Next 20 (21–40): This tier ranges from ~$50B to ~$30B per person.

Not a new idea... Oxfam estimates a 5% wealth tax on billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion annually, enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty (roughly $850 per person for those below $6.85/day)

Top 20’s combined net worth +/- $2.5–2.7 trillion today. Here’s why: The top 10 alone (e.g., Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, Jeff Bezos) often exceed $1.5 trillion collectively. The next 10 typically add another $1–1.2 trillion, tapering down from figures like $50–100 billion each. GROSS.

Drawing from Gilded Age’s moral drivers + today’s tech-driven interconnectedness; strategic breakdown of how this could happen, blending idealism with pragmatism. First, WE TAX THE RICH: top 20 richest humans at 90% then figure out how it stacks up against an “economic equality kickstart.”

Reprogramming society to foster a global culture that backs a larger vision—less national division, more cooperation—is a monumental task. It means rewiring deep-seated instincts, power structures, and economic incentives that have defined human history for millennia. #WiseUpRiseUp #RiseUpRegular

It's too bad scumsuckers like Musk and Trump are going in the wrong direction. We have examples of how progressive, inclusive society is the only answer to the advancement of humanity. But it can happen. #RiseUpRegular #WiseUpRiseUp

Quit continuing to draw the lines between the GOP and the dems now who are on the ground. That is so far away from how we can even identify any more. It's RICH ASS POLITICIANS or NOT. Starving or Not. That's the line. REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE's NEEDS, or NOT. #WiseUpRiseUp @stephruhle.bsky.social

Help democrats develop a #NewDemocraticWorkingParty for the people! by us, the people! Make it about EVERY DAY issues. We are hungry. We need clothes. We need vacations. We need cars. We need childcare. We need medical care. We need living wages. We need lower taxes. We need clean air, food + H2O

@stephruhle.bsky.social We don't need our representatives to focus on being democrats. They need to shut up, show up, and stop talking so much. DO SOMETHING. FIX IT. STOP ROLLING OVER. GET MAD LIKE WE ARE!!! People got LIED to, they're hungry. We are poor. We don't give a shit about esoteric debate.

Never complain when @doechiibrasil.bsky.social Doechii the Don, Doechii the dean Doechii supreme, the swamp ruler is on 🐊💎👑

"The subjugation of universities to state power is a hallmark of autocracy. Columbia University’s immediate submission and betrayal of the core mission of higher education reflects cowardice and capitulation to a government that seems intent on destroying US higher education." Shame on Columbia.

Making people ALLOW participation due to Title IX gives women athletes the right to equal opportunity in sports in educational institutions that receive federal funds, from elementary schools to colleges and universities. Different than WITHHOLDING $ TO PREVENT FREE SPEECH Brian Lanza

What a shitburger.

100% agree with @toure.bsky.social tonight on @abbyphillip.bsky.social - democrat lifelong. This. Is. Unconscionable. We MUST do better for the people. #WiseUpRiseUp #NewDemocraticWorkingParty #RiseUpRegular #WeWorkForWorkers #BrewingRevolution #BuildingTrust #WorkersUnited #DemocracyForEveryone

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Real: Resilient, practical solutions. Inclusive: Everyone at the table. Simple: Authentic heartbeat of regular people Equitable: Resources to needy them most. Unified: We thrive together—workers, families, communities. Proven: Results matter—tested, trusted, built by us for us. #RiseUpRegular #NDWP

No one is representing us. Where is the Working Party? Where are leaders who know what it's like to get up in the dark and come home in the dark and bust your ass day after day? It's not @chuckschumer.com - STAND UP and make the GOP sit down. We work every damn day for this country. #WiseUpRiseUp

Let Trump own his destruction. Democrats who capitulate to these tactics need to prepare to be primaried. We need leaders who will stand firm and fight for the values we believe in, not those who will cave under pressure. #WeWorkForWorkers #StopTheWarOnRegularPeople #MayDay #PoliciesNotPartisanship

... By kowtowing to the GOP's demands, you have allowed them to push their agenda of dismantling the government. This is not the leadership we need. The GOP wanted the dismantling of the government; let them own it. #WiseUpRiseUp #RiseUpRegular #DJTLies #100Lies100Days

#Done #DJTLies @schumer.senate.gov Writing to express profound disappointment in your recent action regarding government shutdown. Your refusal to stand strong and instead capitulate to the possibility of a shutdown has shown the Democratic leadership to be ineffectual, spineless, and tone-deaf.

If you're a socialist you have to understand the opportunity being afforded us right now. Everyone hates these motherfuckers. You can knock on any door
