Justice in America has always been applied in direct proportion to the person's bank account. That is why you never see a wealthy person having that "inspirational" story of being wrongly convicted, only to be exonerated decades later. That only happens to the poor.

Our health care system in America is disgusting. A clear indication that our government doesn't give a fuck if we live or die.

ALL Americans are hurting and paying more for things because of the high price of diesel caused by Republicans. MANY businesses are hurt, EVERYONE pays more for everything. So why the hell should farmers get our money in a bailout - especially when 75% of them voted for this.

That takes something beyond courage. Imagine still standing up for what's right knowing that accountability didn't happen the last time Democrats had power and there certainly won't be any under Trump. Being a whistleblower is basically risking everything to piss in the wind.
Someone inside the USPS, a whistleblower, saw something shady happening to your right to vote — and said something.
They knew the cost. The retaliation. They came forward anyway.
That’s good trouble.

I don't want to convert maga, I want to defeat them. Anyone that gleefully supports a bigoted, misogynistic, criminal rapist are garbage human beings and deserve to be treated as such.
What’s the data behind Trump’s claims noncitizens vote? Even when the reddest of states sets its officials to back them up, they can’t. Here are the facts you need to know to support Labor Day conversations with family and friends: joycevance.substack.com/p/voter-frau...

"Some" is code for women of color.
Markwayne Mullin says the Trump administration is looking to ban some pregnant women from visiting the U.S in the same way "we don't allow sick individuals to come here if they are coming from an area that could spread a disease"

The rule of law doesn't apply to politicians in America. They steal millions without consequences, yet tell us George Floyd's death was justified for allegedly passing a counterfeit 20 Dollar bill. That is why I can't stand when people on here have justice scales in their profiles. It's embarrassing
Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

When the government agrees with a company to not enforce the law, in exchange for money that’s called a bribe.
I don’t care if the check is made out to the Treasury. That just makes it worse because it’s officially-sanctioned bribery.
It’s still bribery.
Unless it actually damages the company.

The threshold for felony theft is as low as 200 dollars in some states. Poor people go to jail for felony theft. Rich people commit fraud to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars and remain free to become president. You are only guaranteed the justice you can afford in America.
Felon Trump raked in $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency income in 2025 alone. He rigs the system to keep the grift going.

The fact that the Trump administration is working to segregate disabled children from schools at the same time they are trying to integrate unvaccinated children, pisses me off to no end.

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were:
1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and
2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.

If you are complaining about the Supreme Court now but didn't care at all that there were no investigations after Propublica exposed justices taking bribes, then you don't understand what the real problem is.

There will be no justice for the Epstein victims unless it is at the hands of a vigilante. That investigation spans 20 years and multiple administrations. It is clear that the goal the entire time was to protect the abusers and not the abused.

Republicans won everything on the message of "we hate the Dems & will punish them". ANY Democrat pushing the appeasement strategies of the old guard is unfit for the moment. If you truly believe that a majority of Americans are good people and don't want Trump, then reach out to them and them alone.
