The right calls anything that helps the public socialism.  Republican block any attempt to require the upper wealthy pay their share of taxes so the country can have more than the bare minimums of survival.   The country did best when the upper class paid more in taxes including wealth taxes.  The country had the money to expand and create, to do things that astonished the world.   Now a we have multimillionaires and billionaires paying next to nothing ruling the country while 80% of the people struggle for a decent quality of life.  40% of the country couldn’t handle an unexpected $400 expense.   We need to do better on the messaging and help people see they have been lied to by the wealthy to steal the countries assets.

FFS, corps are having record profits, CEOs & execs are getting big bonuses and raises. The supply chain is breaking down, slowing products from the Wall Street bottom liners outsourced factories to the market, decreasing supply and driving up prices even further. The Owning Class is engaged in wholesale looting, and Real Leftist Ted Rall is putting this drivel out? GTFO.  

The protesting truckers were a small percentage of all the truckers in Canada. The truckers union and the majority of truckers condemned the protest. It wouldn’t have stopped food deliveries nor caused shortages in grocery stores. This cartoon is about fear. Be afraid, don’t let the government require vaccines or you will go hungry.

The slogan is awkward but it is correct. The police have become too militarized with too many non-law enforcement jobs required of them. Right now the police are more occupying army than protectors of the people. Police shouldn’t be the primary ones answering mental health calls, they should only be a back up to the mental health workers trained for that job. Several places have tried switching to having trained professionals answer those types of calls and it works. Right now in many areas of the country the police have become gangs, thugs demanding ever higher pay, perks, and military gear. Time to get back to what core policing really is and leave the video game commando tactic to the gaming consoles. Civilian boards should be in charge of police investigations, No excuses for body cams not on or worn. It is time for civilians to be in charge, not the gangs of cops. A national database for bad cops and those in that data base do not get rehired if they are fired for cause.

A protest organized by a fascist Qanon leader and supported mainly by far right white supremacists with the goal of over turning a law in the US about not being able to cross the US / Canada border without being vaccinated. This was vaccine protest was in a country already 90% vaccinated. The public did not support this, the truckers union did not support this action, and the protest was conducted by a very small percentage of Canadian truckers. It was promoted on social media by foreign governments interested in causing unrest and chaos in the US and Canada. The majority of funding was coming from the US. Which might explain the Confederate battle flag being flown by the protestors.

Rentier capitalism.

Laws for thee, none for me.

If eating peanuts could hurt democrats, Republicans would be at schools eating PB&Js to own the libs.

FOX is Russia’s sister network.

No one from Clinton’s campaign ordered spying or hacking. No spying or hacking took place. A contractor that was tasked with analyzing DNS queries on government networks. They brought in a lawyer who works on cybersecurity matters to bring what they thought was suspicious activity to the attention of national security agencies. One of Bill Barr’s hacks claims the lawyer didn’t tell the FBI he had also done work for the DNC. The lawyer has proof that the FBI was well aware that he had worked for the DNC.

Minnesota Freedom Fund. The Minnesota Freedom Fund is working to end the discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive policy of cash bail, which criminalizes poverty and takes a disproportionate toll on communities of color. It is a well known problem that poor people spend more time in prison than those with money to pay bail. Justice shouldn’t depend on your income. Bail was used to insure a person will show up in court. But it has become a punitive measure used to harm people. Bail was not to be used as punishment but it is being used that way. Remember that a person is considered innocent until judged at trial.

The misleading right wing media wants to convince everyone that their favorite boogieman was spying on tRump. Fact is that was not true. Neither John Durham nor anyone else for that matter had actually  provided any evidence of any such crime, let alone even suggested it. … (T)he actual reason that the “LameStream” media hadn’t covered the story was likely because, as the Times notes: (1) Sussmann’s  conversation with the CIA had already been reported last October (2) Durham never once said anything about the White House being “infiltrate[d]” (3) the special counsel also never claimed the Clinton campaign had paid Joffe’s company and (4) perhaps most importantly, “the filing never said the White House data that came under scrutiny was from the Trump era.” In fact, lawyers for the data scientist who helped develop the data analysis in question, say this happened during— wait for it—Barack Obama’s presidency.

Almost a million Americans are dead, more reported Covid fatalities than any other country in the world. Yet some accuse leaders of doing too much.

S Kelley believes the Fox narrative. They really want her to run and tell everyone else she is. She lives rent free in all their heads.   Conservatives just can’t get over the fact that Hillary won the popular vote in ‘16
