This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

You can't keep calling it inflation when corporate profit margins surged upwards of 75%, accounting for roughly 40% of the total inflation seen since the pandemic began. Corporations raised prices to boost profits, used inflation as a shield, and never dropped prices again.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

The Citizens United decision completely broke our campaign finance system and rigged it in favor of billionaires and special interests. The $1.3 billion wealthy donors have poured into the 2026 elections is proof. It's never been a better time to End Citizens United.

Our Kick Out Corruption Tour is about making sure leaders in D.C. know the American people are tired of paying the price for their corruption. Enough is enough.

The amount of money the AI and crypto industries have spent and plan on spending to influence elections is why we need robust campaign finance reform. @tiffanymuller.bsky.social and @molly.wiki break it down here:

Hawai’i just passed a bill that undermine Citizens United. The bill establishes corporations as “artificial persons” without the right to spend money on elections. The bill could limit the influence of super PACs and be a model to challenge the influence of money in politics.
