Brazil
Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro just broke into the Brazilian Congress and presidential palace. Brazil is having their own January 6th moment right now- good thing the buildings were mostly empty and congress is out of session. President Lula is fine.
Pro-Bolsonaro supporters, Pro-Trump supporters, Pro-Hitler supporters- same product, different packaging.

Actually, I don't want a job.
I never wanted a job.
When I was little, I didn't go "Boy, I sure hope I grow up someday so I can have a job. I really want to be the best employEE!"
No.
I think I wanted to be an astronaut, or something like that. I wanted to go to infinity and beyond.
What's wrong with that?

PFAS Asbestos
No wonder Mom cried and drank
No wonder she got cancer
No wonder Dad got a heart attack
No wonder they died.
…
So, why am I still alive?
Is it just to survive?
Or, may I thrive?
Maybe I'll dream
about their ashes…
and take that final dive.

The rich are hoarding all the planet's resources- they know the planet is doomed. They'd gladly sacrifice you to save themselves. When they say working class, they really mean "slave"- and you are as disposable to them as a horse with a broken leg.
Just sayin'

When are we going to talk about institutional classism in America?
Classism is the #1 form of discrimination in America- it is the #1 form of discrimination anywhere.

Hitler and Trump, sitting in a tree...
In 1925,
Hitler was banned from public speaking-
it didn't stop him from rising.
In 2021,
Trump was banned from public tweeting-
will it stop him from rising?
In 2024,
we'll know more.

Dear Democrat Party
Dear Democrat Party,
DO SOMETHING about abortion rights now- otherwise, you're not getting our votes.
If you DO NOTHING until November? I will never vote for you again. I just won't vote for anyone ever again. If you just sit on your butts until November, I will officially give up on this government forever, because it's just not working for the People anymore.
Get Biden to do an executive order to restore abortion rights- let the Republicans fight him in court over it. It would buy us time. Abraham Lincoln didn't know he had the authority to do his Emancipation Proclamation, but he did it anyway, didn't he? That's what the Republicans would do if they were in Biden's position, because they fight dirty.
Why don't you try fighting dirty? When you insist on playing by the rules and ignore the fact that the Republicans keep cheating, it makes you look stupid and weak- and why would we want to vote for stupid weak people? Are you afraid of losing billionaire support if you don't play by the rules like they want you to?
Get Biden to add judges to the court that support abortion rights- pack the court. That is what the Republicans would do if the situation was reversed. Why won't Biden do that? Why do you allow them to cheat and then normalize it? You spent 4 years normalizing Donald Trump, and now you're pissed off because you can't understand why so many Americans still support him? What did you expect when you refused to arrest him?
You lost all credibility with the American public when you didn't arrest him immediately after Jan. 6th- now it's too little, too late. How can Americans be expected to understand that he's a criminal when you have yet to arrest him? Visuals like seeing Donald Trump in handcuffs matter, damn it!
DO SOMETHING NOW, or else you're not getting our votes. The American People do not want to wait until November to address this, and we won't wait. If you make us wait? You will lose votes forever.
The American People will start a General Strike beginning Monday June 27th, and we won't stop until abortion rights are restored nationwide. Tell your billionaire friends they better get ready to lose money, because we're cancelling the 4th of July, too. No money for BBQs, fireworks, or flags.
4th of July is canceled now and forever until women get their rights restored! How can you expect women to celebrate Independence Day when we just had our own independence taken away?
Sincerely, Jay Juno
P.S. If you do nothing until November, you're not getting donations either. You want donations? DO. SOMETHING. NOW.
June 26, 2022

Dear Mr. President
Dear Mr. President,
We don't care about the economy.
Stop focusing on the stupid economy.
You know who cares about the economy doing good? Wall Street. Billionaires. Elon Musk.
Americans don't care about the economy. You know why?
Because we're going hungry! We're losing our homes! We're losing our jobs! We're dying everyday from COVID and gun violence! Women just lost their rights!
And your reaction is to say "Shucks, sorry ladies- please vote for me, though!", beg congress to do something, and then run off to Europe to smile for photo ops?
Why are you smiling in Europe? What do you have to be happy about right now? God, you're so out-of-touch, apathetic, and tone deaf... you and the entire Democrat Party are out of touch with the people you like to call "voters".
Stop going on about the stupid economy. We. don't. care. The economy doesn't serve the American People- it serves the very rich. Why should WE care about whether the RICH are happy with THEIR economy?
They don't care about us, but you want us to care about them? Why?
Are you OUR President, or are you the President of the billionaire class?
We're going on a General Strike.
Tell the billionaires they better get ready to go broke themselves (for ONCE in THEIR lives).
We, the American People, refuse to continue to be slaves to the billionaire class.
The economy can go f**k itself.
Are you the President for the American People or not? It doesn't feel like that lately- it feels like you just care what the billionaires want, and then feed us a bunch of bull to convince us to care what they want, too.
If that's not true, and you are here to represent US, then....
DO. SOMETHING.
Sincerely, -Jay Juno
P.S. Stop blaming "voter ignorance" for your ineptitude. The American People are smart enough to know you're feeding them a bunch of BULL, and it PISSES us off. Stop gaslighting us- we don't believe you when you say the economy is doing great- because it's NOT doing great for US, is it?
June 26, 2022

The billionaires and millionaires of America complain about people "not wanting to work".
Because of COVID19, more than 1 million Americans are dead; millions of survivors have been disabled. Most deaths happened to working class Americans- Americans who were forced to work as "essential workers" during the worst surges of the pandemic. They weren't even provided protective gear half the time, leaving them vulnerable.
THERE'S your labor shortage, billionaires- millions of Americans forced out of work because of death or disability. You expect the survivors to immediately take their place?
Billionaires of America- take your low-paying "essential worker" jobs, and kindly shove them up your gold-plated assholes.
The American People have better things to do than work for you.
We need a General Strike in America
We need Universal Basic Income
We need our freedom.
