- I'm using this, and sharing it with everyone I know.
- The hat needs to be more pointy and more straight.
  
  Yeah, it's a bit dark, too.
Congratulations on getting what you voted for.
We are paying for the billionaires' tax cuts through tariffs now.
Your grocery bill going up? This is why.
- It's only starting. It'll go up more now that the harvests are supposed to be coming in. And once the non-harvested wheat isn't made into flour, and the excess veggies aren't frozen and canned. It's all going to go up this fall.
Living in the US. Before I buy anything, I do my best to check the manufacturer out to see that it comes from a blue state. Check on Goods Unite Us to find out if they donate more to Republicans or Democrats. I am postponing or self-performing tasks and work that would require a "trade", since I'm guessing those people are more conservative anyways. Sorry to any reasonable peopIe I may be accidentally boycotting.
I know it's not perfect, but its at least something.
- All efforts great and small.
- If you need trade labor your best bet is going to be ensuring the labor is union. Still probably conservatives but I've known my fair share of progressives in trade unions.
Time to fire some more statisticians.

We're not going to forget what republicans did, and what they are. When the mobs start coming for them, how long before the body guards and cops decide that it's not worth dying over some corrupt shit bag and just step aside?
I mean that's what Republicans wanted, a return to mob rule, and the days of lynchings. They might actually get what they wish for
- You know what keeps me up at night? Democrats get elected into power and just leave shit all broken. I mean, sorry to say but that is the pattern we've seen from them for decades now.
  Now, please don't get me wrong, I am NOT saying "both sides same, blah blah". I just don't really believe there's anyone in the Capitol who is actually fighting for me anymore, save perhaps a tiny few who have no realistic chance to help. Not Bernie's fault they fucked him over, for example, and I have mad respect for him. But one man, maybe one or two allies, standing in front of this wave of irrational hatred? We're fucked.

  I keep hearing claims they have turned over a new leaf and are no longer fighting against progressives, but the Mamdani campaign, for example isn't giving me much faith that this is true. You may very well be correct to worry about this.
- I'd wager that the people of Nebraska will though.
Win stupid prizes
Gotta get rid of whoever is reporting the numbers. Use God-Emperor Trump's tried and true tactic: if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Lemme get out my tiny violin...
To government collected $105 (or was it $150) billion…. From Americans (that’s the part that’s always left out.
I am sorry that your pedo enabling is not as profitable as you want it to be......
