Billionaires do not earn their wealth. They extract it from the working class. Then they keep the wealth by continuing to scam the services that we pay for. In the 19th century, we had a word for that: carpetbagger.

Opportunists that hopped on a train to the reconstruction south and took advantage of newly freed enslaved people and took every dime they had.

Go Blazers, Go Fire, Go Thorns, Go Timbers.

But fuck off, billionaires.

We do not know if there is a chapter in Oregon, but if there’s interested folks among us, please contact this group and let us know when you’re ready to collaborate. And as always, pass it on.

Governments that serve the people have always been possible. If it were a priority, they would have done it. This what we expect from our mayors, governors, and other leaders.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is THRIVING on 174k. She understood how little people have. She understands the privilege of the office. She is fighting to give back to the people.

This slimy prick is insider trading, gets a SPEAKER’s salary, and wants more, like a petulant toddler.

Tell your representatives they aren’t getting a DIME until they impeach and remove this administration.

Take your ballots to drop boxes by May 19th!

In February 2025, we started this subreddit because we understood what’s coming. This is another one of those leaps in your belief that you felt compelled into action.

We are 50 states, we are all Americans, and we are united.

Just found this. Relieved I wasn’t the only one thinking it. Black folks are finally calling for a Southeastern Conference boycott in response to Republican attacks on voting rights.

The argument is simple:

SEC schools are in states whose Republican leaders are actively stripping voting districts that serve Black voters

Those same schools pull billions in revenue off the backs of Black athletes

56% of all Black Americans live in the former Confederacy — these are OUR states, and we deserve real political representation in them

The ask is three things: weekly boycotts of nationally televised SEC games, current Black athletes transferring out of SEC schools, and recruits de-committing.
Football, basketball, track — the SEC moves because Black athletes make it move. Without us there is no product. No TV deal. No Saturday cathedral. Take a look at the rosters and tell me I’m wrong.

This is the exact playbook our elders used. The Montgomery Bus Boycott worked because Black riders were the customer base. Lasted 381 days and broke segregation on public transit. The Birmingham campaign worked because it hit downtown merchants in the wallet during Easter shopping season. Economic pressure on the institutions that depend on us — that’s the tradition.

And right now, while Alabama’s House Speaker is openly calling for the Supreme Court to overturn (reinterpret) the 14th Amendment so they can dilute Black votes even further, the University of Alabama is making a fortune off Black 18-22 year olds. That’s some bullshit.

Our elders didn’t play it safe — they put their bodies and their livelihoods on the line. If we want our votes to count, we have to use meaningful leverage. Hit’em in the pocket!

Boycott. Transfer. De-commit. Demand justice.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
