November 2026. Election Night. Close race, but Senator Susan Collins scratches out a win against the scandal-wracked Platner. Accepting concession with solemn grace, she hangs up.
Steps down into a victory bath, robe dropping. Camera pans to her wrinkly back: massive swastika.
You can be a tattooed, deep-voiced, "manly" combat veteran who also goes to therapy and shows up for his neighbors. Those two things go completely hand-in-hand.
And I think it's important to have people who can show that, instead of a vision of masculinity that's hardened, shut off, and angry.
This makes me laugh.
“I smoked crack and slept with prostitutes at a cheap motel. I suffered no financial consequences and my dad pardoned me to get me out of legal trouble.
Do I look like I’m part of the elite oligarch class?”
Yes. That’s exactly what it looks like.
it’s very cool how my company 401k is earning a return lower than a HYSA. So not only am I taking a pay cut every week, not only is my ability to retire entirely dependent on the success of AI tech companies, my net worth is also actively going down when compared to inflation.
Within a corrupt political system, here is an inspiring story which speaks to the beauty and strength of democracy and what we can accomplish when we work together.
In April 2025, as part of our Fighting Oligarchy tour, I held a rally in Missoula, Montana. As we almost always do at our rallies, we invited local union leaders to address the crowd and say a few words about issues impacting their communities. One of those local union leaders was a National Forest firefighter named Sam Forstag, who discussed how Donald Trump and Elon Musk's DOGE had just fired thousands of federal employees — including many in Montana.
As a result of that rally and the 9,000 people there who responded very positively to his remarks, Sam, who had never run for public office before, decided to take on the Establishment and run for the U.S. Congress as a proud member of the American working class.
Guess what? On Tuesday, June 2, after putting together a strong grassroots coalition, Sam Forstag won the Democratic Party’s primary in the First District of Montana. And, with our help, he’ll soon become Congressman Sam Forstag.
