The destruction of the economy, the dismal job report, the assholes dismantling key departments, build a loyal armed force .... THIS. IS. THE. PLAN. Dictator 101. Put the people down, keep them down, and scare the shit out of them. THIS. IS. THE. PLAN.

Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Truth!

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it! 8/8/25

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.
