Corporate hegemony is NOT a free market.

"Show me why the GOP has no future in one image."
Remember when they at least pretended one goal of their policies was to improve the general public's economic security? Remember when that was supposed to be the end point of all this?
Not that it was ever more than lip service, even from Dems.

This is the perfect time to call Mitch McConnell's office at (202) 224-2541 and ask them "Hey, are we gonna hear from Mitch soon? Or are ya still sewing on the marionnette strings."

But they went full DARVO, like they always do when there's an awkward truth and that makes me smile.

Apparently JD Vance has said that the assassination of Charlie Kirk inspired him to... have a fourth child with his wife?!
There's only one possible explanation for this bizarre behavior, and it's coming this summer from A24. They are doing some occult Malkovich shit at the White House for sure.

Also, if some of you could mention to MAGA family/coworkers that Albert Einstein, George Orwell, and Helen Keller were all card-carrying socialists and report back to me, I would be very gratified. I keep hoping to get someone with that one-- not that facts matter to these people but shock is fun.

Won't lie (even though that's a changeling's favorite thing): I left because I got really mad at the way ideology is created here, and the seeming impossibility of forging actual community.
I'm back for this one very specific reason. Dunno if I'll do it, but... if so, buckle in.
