Are we angry yet? Because we should be.
The cracks in our society are no longer subtle. They are gaping, undeniable, and deliberately ignored by the people with the power to fix them. If you have even an ounce of integrity, you see what’s happening. You feel it. And silence is no longer an option.
This leadership is corrupt, full stop. Not slightly compromised, not “flawed but trying.” Corrupt. Driven by greed, beholden to foreign interests, and willing to partner with regimes that pursue the extermination of entire peoples. We call that out for exactly what it is. There is no diplomatic language soft enough to dress up that reality.
Stop calling billionaires the “elite.” They are not elite. They are a hoarding class, a small group of obscenely wealthy individuals who have captured our political systems, poisoned our environment, and strip-mined our shared resources to feed their own bottomless greed. The planet is burning. Communities are collapsing. And these people are still finding ways to take more. Enough.
Tax the rich. Period. This isn’t radical; it’s arithmetic. A society cannot function when wealth concentrates without limit at the top while everyone else fights over scraps. Our country was literally built on revolution against exactly this kind of unchecked power. We didn’t forget that history. We won’t.
And we will not forget who stood with this regime either. Every blind follower, every enabler, every person who looked the other way at the racism, the patriarchy, the greed; history is taking notes. They will not get to quietly rewrite their story when the tide turns. We are documenting this moment in real time.
This country was also built on the backs of immigrants and enslaved people. That history is not distant. Its consequences live in our present. Anyone pretending otherwise is either ignorant or lying.
The message is simple: tax the rich, hold power accountable, and protect people over profit. If those in power refuse, they should expect no peace, not moral peace, not political peace, not historical peace. The pitchforks of accountability are always sharpened by injustice.
How dare they. And how dare we stay quiet.
