The billionaires and CEOs funding Trump and the Republicans in Congress believe they’re invincible. They believe the GOP embrace of authoritarianism and oligarchy to replace the democracy that is increasingly rejecting them at the polls will keep them safe.

I was wondering why everyone overlooked the most IMPORTANT line in that movie 😳

Repealing citizens United would maybe stick it to Mattel for watering down the message of the movie.

Abolish Section 5 NOW!

Hey, readers! Strap in because today, we're diving into the cesspool of absurdity that is Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 in the UK. If you're not familiar, it's the part of the law that thinks it's a great idea to slap charges on anyone causing "harassment, alarm, or distress." Spoiler alert: it's a disaster!

Let's talk about how this vague and wishy-washy legislation is turning our right to free expression into a joke. "Likely to cause distress?" Are you kidding me? Newsflash: life itself can be distressing. So, unless we all want to live in a padded bubble, maybe it's time to get real about what freedom of speech really means.

Section 5 is a playground for subjective interpretation. What's harassment, what's alarm, and what's distress? Who knows! It's a wild guessing game, and guess what? The prize is a potential criminal record. Bravo, lawmakers, bravo.

Ever heard of a chilling effect? Well, Section 5 is a prime example. People are scared to voice their opinions or stand up for what they believe in because, oh no, it might cause some distress. Give me a break! Democracy thrives on debate, dissent, and differing opinions. Section 5, on the other hand, seems hell-bent on suppressing all that good stuff.

And let's not forget the horror stories of peaceful protesters getting slapped with Section 5 charges. Yeah, because apparently holding a sign or speaking up for change is now equivalent to causing "alarm." Give me a break.

We're not saying public order isn't important, but surely there's a better way to maintain it without stifling our basic rights. Maybe it's time to put Section 5 where it belongs – in the trash.

To the policymakers out there: wake up and smell the injustice! It's time to abolish or seriously overhaul Section 5. Let's create a legal landscape that respects our right to speak our minds without fear of being labeled a criminal for causing a little discomfort.

So, UK, let's demand change, let's demand our right to speak freely, and let's abolish Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986. The time for complacency is over.

Rant over.

#CitizensUnited destroyed campaign finance precedent. It was a horrible decision from Day One. The conservative justices got it wrong, which was the point.

Over the past 42 years, Reaganomics has moved over 60,000 factories and nearly 20 million good-paying manufacturing jobs overseas.

It’s cut taxes on billionaires to the point they pay an average 3.4% income tax (when they pay anything at all: Trump, taking in billions, paid $750 a year for almost two decades).

Reagan’s policies destroyed the American union movement and stole $51 trillion from working-class people, putting almost every penny of it into the money bins of the GOP’s morbidly rich patrons.

The MAGA Party (formerly known as Republican Party) serves the interests of their right-wing billionaire donors/owners. The sham SCOTUS is bought and paid for - corrupted by the insane amounts of legalized bribery available since the destructive democracy-killing Citizens United decision.

Bullets are the leading cause of death among our nation’s children. But no Republican will take on the issue because they know the firearms industry and its front groups will destroy them with a waterfall of money for their inevitable opponent in the next election.
