The billionaire class is going all-in to keep Trump and the GOP in power because they don't want to pay their fair share in taxes.
Here's how we fight back.
In his book Collapse, Jared Diamond studied a dozen societies across thousands of years, from the Maya to the Vikings, to answer one question: why do great civilizations fall? What he found wasn't drought, war or bad luck. None of those were ever enough on their own. The one thing present in every collapse was how the people at the top responded to what was happening below them.
The warning sign he found again and again was leaders who were completely insulated from the pain of ordinary people. When the powerful never feel the consequences, they stop seeing the problem, and when they stop seeing it, they stop fixing it. The Maya kings kept enriching themselves and building monuments while the farmers who fed them went hungry. Their civilization didn't fall because of one bad year. It fell because the people in charge had stopped living in the same world as everyone else.
Diamond called them "distant managers." They are the people in power who live so far from the damage that they are the last to understand how bad it has gotten. By the time they notice, the fields are already empty.
His most important finding was that collapse is a choice. Every society that fell had leaders who could have changed course and chose not to. The question for us is whether we will keep letting people who can't see us make that choice for us. Because we are there folks.
.@JonHusted, here is a video of you voting against every Iran War Powers Resolution.
You have had 13 chances to oppose the war, but you voted with Trump every single time. You and your party are the reason diesel is $6.82/gal in Ohio.
Ken Paxton keeps dodging debates. So I’m challenging him to a debate on Fox News — his safe space.
I’ll go into the lion’s den. I know what I believe and I’m not afraid of hard questions.
Ken has been running from accountability his whole life. It’s time to stop running.
This sequence from the newest Elephant Graveyard video... 10/10.
I've never seen someone so thoroughly dismantled through their own words and actions in 5 short minutes like this.
Joe Rogan is a made man. He's in the secret club.
My neighbor finished paying off her house in 2024.
She bought it in 1994 for $78,000. Thirty years of payments at $593 a month.
She's 74 now. Social Security pays her $1,910 a month. That's $22,920 a year.
The place two doors down sold for $615,000 last spring, so the county reassessed hers to match.
Her tax bill this year: $8,100. That's $675 a month.
She paid $593 a month to buy the house.
She pays $675 a month to keep it.
Thirty years of payments ended and the bill went up.
The deed says she owns it. The county bills her like she's renting.
The Republican Party kicked out Epstein victims at Dallas midterm convention.
They kicked out survivors who are bravely speaking out against rape and child sexual abuse.
I’m so angry and disgusted.
Gee why does the Republican Party have a woman problem?
Here you go!!
IDF soldiers tell a young Palestinian man to continue on his way, then shoot him from a distance and kill him.
A cold-blooded field execution. This is not a state, but a terrorist organization.
Journalist : "Republicans have spent much of the Trump era trying to own the masculinity lane..."
El-Sayed: "Have you seen Mike Rogers and Donald Trump? If that's American masculinity then we're headed in the wrong direction. And then there's eyeliner JD Vance. These very small men have tried to make masculinity about punching down. I believe masculinity is about lifting up, whether you're lifting a weight or lifting people around you. And that's a thing they don't understand".
The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.
The more both parties and corporate media obsess on the supposed evils of Hasan Piker, the more Abdul El-Sayed rises.
The 2016 lesson of Trump was that voters don't care about the taboos and fixations of DC/media discourse. When will that be learned?
Flock takes their privacy very seriously.
But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.
Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.
