The Occupy movement had it right in 2011 - It IS the 1% causing ALL the pain.

It is so obvious now.

50 Billionaires giving to Sinema.

The Koch family and Big Energy supporting Manchin with $$$.

Big Pharmacy. Big Energy. Big Tech.

The cards are stacked against those of us who want to make the world a less hurtful place.

Climate change mitigation to ease suffering for all mankind.

Decent affordable education that extends through the entire educational life of a person however far they progress that actually teaches our children (and adults) HOW to think critically.

President Joe Tweets FTW! Republicans Obstruct.

Holly McCormack FTW: Marjorie Taylor-Gone!

President Joe has me Fired up. I'm ready to get off my arse and GOTV for 2022 right now.

I see it that it is OUR job to make sure Democracy continues to exist in the USA.

Voting is our primary tool.

GOTV is the way to make sure sane candidates get elected over the fake autocratic wannabe's the QOP is running.

Whether in the primaries to be sure that corrupt 1% 'Democrats in Name Only' lose, or autocratic crazy QAnon types don't win rethuglican primary nominations in Red districts so perhaps the old political norm of discuss and compromise can once again prevail; to the General when we boost sane uncorrupt Democrats over the top of any running rethuglican.

We have to start NOW. And Local races matter as much OR MORE than State and Federal races. We need sane Democrats to step up and run for the littlest office too.

Solidarity. We can have our internal Big Tent disagreements, but We Dems need to come together in the end too, just like in 2020.

GOTV 2022

Most Awesome Photo of President Joe. (Notice no help down the steps either.)

Hey Ivanka, How do you like these beans?

Wouldn't it be nice if Murkowski, Collins, and Romney had Cheney's courage and conviction?

I know it's a fantasy, but I would sleep better at night if I knew Democracy had some allies that would stand up publically to Moscow Mitch and other GQP authoritarians in the Senate.

That is all.

Lakota Man Tweet of the Year so far: MTG Gets Flushed.
