The best '#justice' that money can buy.
But this is up to the #American people - ther sale their consequences. Whether it is a #Republican or a #Democratic 'win' your demcracy (or whatever is left of it) is clearly not owned by the people. Whether it serves the people is another question again.

Spread the word and share the link. In the #senate of the #USA #democratic #senator #corybooker is speaking since 18 hours now in a moving speech against #Trump, against #Musk.
The nations that has been able to exploit earth resources is now demanding even more resources. #Putin and #Trump is aggressive towards neighboring countries and allies because they want their resources . #China uses not so obvious or violent tactics but they are also exploiting weaker nations.
The countries that now is on top of the resource chain demands even more. It is not #sustainable and a common denominator is the lack of #democratic control.
Let me ask it this way: if Red Don isn't a #Russian agent, why is he trying so hard to destroy the #Constitution and our #democratic institutions? He's done more damage to this country in 2 months than the #Soviets managed to accomplish in the entire #ColdWar.
He's #Putin's wet dream, his bitch, his stooge. With all the evidence of coordination with #Russia from his first campaign and term, the conclusion seems obvious: #President Fragile Ego Tinyhands is Putin's puppet.
But we don’t live there anymore. We live in a country where the fed govt allies itself w/Russian & South American #dictators while taking sides against #democratic #allies. A country that threatens its neighbors w/annexation. A country that views the #GenevaConventions as namby-pamby suggestions that only apply to suckers & losers. A country that uses #SecretPolice.
And perhaps most importantly, a country where the regime no longer abides by rulings from the existing #legal system.
Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal
The resistance needs a morale boost. But its importance goes beyond that

" #ElonMusk, has poured money into the #election...
As #Musk rampages through the federal govt & #Trump attempts to terrorize his opponents into silence... the public, the #media, the #GOP, & the #Democratic Party itself all need to be forcefully reminded that Trump is vulnerable, widely disliked, & can be defeated"
Whoever controls #production, & the #surplus we produce, determines the shape & direction of our #civilization. If we do not have #democratic control over our production & surplus then we can hardly say we live in a #democracy.
Over 30,000 people in #Denver showed up to a rally spearheaded by 2 #democratic #socialists, but both parties will keep pretending that #Americans aren't hungry for a real change.
#Trump fired two #Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, with both commissioners saying they were ”illegally fired.”
Alvaro Bedoya posted a scathing critique of the Trump administration after the firing:

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter said: “The President illegally fired me from my position as a Federal Trade Commissioner, violating the plain language of a statute and clear Supreme Court precedent.”

Exclusive: #Trump fires both #Democratic commissioners at #FTC
Trump fired the 2 Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tues, 2 sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the #independence of #regulatory agencies.

We need a new #Democratic leader in the #Senate to be standing up for #Democracy. #Schumer is not the person to do that. He might be good at behind the scenes procedural stuff, but he is not good as the face of the opposition and needs to go. The country requires a person to be front and center every day speaking on 1 item-of-the-day and the vision the democrats have for it. That talk needs to be posted on every platform so nobody goes without seeing it. Make it short and sweet and to the point.
Social Security Employees Warn of Damage From #DOGE
Current & former employees, both #Republican & #Democratic, are raising alarms about the damage cost-cutting efforts could do to the agency’s ability to serve the public.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/business/social-security-doge-ssa.html
"Many current & former Social Security officials fear the cuts could create gaping holes in the agency’s #infrastructure, destabilizing the program, which keeps millions of people out of #poverty"

It may be hard to believe based on how consistently #Republicans win in #Texas, but it is the most purple state in the Deep South.
#Houston is an enormous blue dot. Every major city in the state has a #Democratic mayor.
Approval of the #Democratic party down *28 points* from it's 1992 high.
Why? According to #Kondracki: "For not standing up to T****."
But all #Welker heard was "record low support for #Democrats" and kept repeating it throughout the program as public disapproval of Dems going *against* the T**** Admin.

"What’s happening in this country to our veterans is not right."
A crowd of nearly 3,000 gathered Friday on the National Mall for a veterans' rally to protest cuts by President Donald Trump to veterans' federal jobs, services and benefits. Reject the fascist republican criminals.
Let me tell you: all Vets vote #Democratic no excuses, you have the marching order, #Dems in every race.

#Tesla Owners Are Selling Their Cars in En masse
#Tesla has recently seen a sharp decline in sales of its cars. One of the reasons is the scandals associated with #Elon_Musk, #Bild reports
Some major companies have already refused to include #Tesla in their fleets, including the #Rossmann, #Lichtblick, and #Badenova chains. And singer #Sheryl_Crow, actress #Alyssa_Milano, and #Democratic Senator #Mark #Kelly , whom #Musk called a "traitor" for visiting #Ukraine, are selling their #Teslas
Donald Trump Backs His Co-President; Says Attacks On Tesla Dealerships Will Be Treated As ‘Terrorism’

"Only attackers of this one company will be treated as domestic #terrorists, even as the hundreds of literal #DomesticTerrorists who raided the #Capitol building for the sole purpose of preventing a #democratic election from happening now roam free, thanks to Trump’s blanket #pardon."
The Fascist Tech Bro Takeover Is Here

"Musk's $277 million campaign contribution secured him unprecedented access to the levers of #Government & cemented his grip on the #political machine... Musk's influence has infected every arm of Govt. And he is using his #wealth, his control of Twitter's husk, & his presence in the #Trump orbit to steer the country away from #democratic principles & toward oligarchic rule."
Overall, I would say those 2 assholes have convinced a majority of inattentive Americans that the federal govt is too big & full of dead wood with no accountability despite their getting their own checks flawlessly each month. I don't know what emotive slogan will compete with this idea but #Democratic wordsmiths better come up with it soon.
