The Biden admin did some good things for the working class. Unfortunately his legacy will forever be tarnished for not having the strength and courage to throw trump in prison along with all the other insurrectionists when he had the chance

It became left vs right because the interests of the rich have an easier time exploiting the right wing's vulnerability to fusion identity. The right wing is defined by a collective appreciation for hierarchies and conformity. A lot of

Idk, man. The regime isn't asking my permission and my individual capacity to stop them is pretty limited. The best I can do is make sure my family and community are taken care of while the resistance builds momentum. There are 70 mill

I would say that the constitution not enshrining a method of enforcement outside the auspices of the executive branch is an inherent failing of the document. Which would then indict its inability to be amended as originally intended over ti

That doesn't account for the ~1,000 employees being gutted from the agency and leaving a maliciously incompetent acting director in place. Both of which are directly caused by the current admin and won't be remedied by Plankey get
