Just quit then. Go work for Wall Street or Silicon Valley. Give the job to someone who wants to do something.
"What leverage do we have?" says Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "They control the House, the Senate and the presidency; it's their government."

It's usually not told this way but this is in fact the arc of the last century of American history. The New Deal order was a response not just to the immediate economic crisis but also to authoritianism.
Historical perspective: FDR’s New Deal was largely about creating the foundations necessary to protect American society from collapsing into authoritarianism and fascism. Our leaders, from both parties, have spent the last 50 years dismantling those protections. And here we are.

Public opinion surveys suggest these politicians are aligned with the public mood: 91 percent of those asked said they wanted a reduction in the country’s reliance on the United States, according to a poll conducted on Sunday and Monday by Angus Reid.

If you have a social security number, Musk has access to that. If you receive any money from US gov't via direct deposit, Musk has access to that. And he's able to do this without any congressional oversight. This is a constitutional crisis.

The United States of America no longer makes a distinction between Canada and China. Cool.
trump announcing higher tariffs against mexico, canada and china two months before he’s inaugurated. plenty of time to hear counteroffers, which is surely the intention.

Hey America, I don't know if you knew or cared, but our grocery prices are pretty high too these days. You've hurt us, yourselves and the Palestinans and lots of other folks much much worse, but us too and that's just how it is now. 🇨🇦 #meatends

Also, is it too much to ask for a little humility and self-reflection from the people whose strategies failed badly?

Israel has cut off aid in Gaza and targets the UN and peacekeepers in violation of international law. But in the Canadian Press we get a softball interview with the Israeli ambassador who blames Canada for "strained" relations. Just another day ignoring the genocide.

You know who could be an interesting progressive candidate for president in 2028? Greg Casar.

Missouri, a conservative state, raised the minimum wage to $15/hr. Nebraska, a conservative state, passed paid sick leave. Arizona, a conservative state, enshrined abortion access in its constitution. People across the political spectrum support these popular policies.

This clarifies that Bliden/Blinken/Sullivan/McGurk didn't support mass starvation of Palestinian civilians out of political necessity. Election is over & Biden has no political future. They did this because this is their preferred policy. They are the architects of these war
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱Secretary of State Blinken has decided that there will be no change for now to military assistance to Israel following the deadline the U.S. gave Israel regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza and that expires today, two U.S. officials said. The officials said Israel

I don't think people will start loving the Democrats if they stop talking about trans people and protesting Israel's war but still let their friends keep everyone's money. #wagetheft

The Thompsons, the Westons, the Irvings, the McCains, the Rogers. Jimmy Pattison. Chip Wilson. These oligarchs are laughing at us. Food bank use explodes as their riches piles higher. Tax this obscene wealth and rebuild our broken public sphere! Or rage will win here too.
The people on this list own grocery stores, hotels, restaurants and wineries. You may not have heard all their names, but they’re definitely part of your lives. Meet Canada’s richest people. https://t.co/4MteFxawLO
