I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system.
In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%.
Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

For reference, a maximum of about 60 officers will graduate two academies this year, and more are likely to fall off during training. Obviously, OPD attrition will continue. That means the OPD will still be under 700 for rest of 2022; and likely below Measure Z levels as well.

It baffles me that it took the act of inciting an insurrection to be the line that was crossed for those now saying “enough is enough.”
I was pretty much there at “All Mexicans Are Rapists.” in 2015.

The airlines got a $50 billion bailout and then laid off 90,000 people.
If someone can explain to me why we could only afford to give people $1,200 of their tax dollars back, I'd love to hear it. Because that was 8 months ago and it amounts to $4.83 a day at this point.

Here are some practical next steps:
1) Remain calm, get some rest.
2) Demand all remaining ballots are secured and protected.
3) Make sure every vote is counted.
4) Call out GOP misinformation.
5) Urge Biden not to concede.
Our democracy is on the line.
Hold the line.
