Nope. Enough of this horseshit game. It is possible for a significant number of people with money, people whose circumstance benefits from current economic models to commit to the reform and transformation of those models -- even against their personal interest. This is hollow, empty shit.
Malcolm P. Johnson@admiralmpj.bsky.social · 22h agoWhen the Times this month profiled Mr. Gordillo, who studied fine arts at Yale, the reporter asked him where he lived. The question was relevant, in part, because many of the high-profile activists are the offspring of affluent parents: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/n...
A private prison company that stands to make hundreds of millions of dollars from Trump’s immigration crackdown just sent more than $1.4 million to his political operation.
Never let them forget: They hunted the vice president to kill him. They built a gallows on the Capitol lawn. They assaulted police officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and they tried to seize the presidency for Donald Trump.
If the Americans had not hopelessly embedded Fox News in their cable environment, they would have an entirely different society right now. It was one of the necessary, if not sufficient, conditions for their fall.

A Senate candidate talking about the Powell memo???? Pinch me, am I dreaming????
Team Talarico@teamtalaricohq.bsky.social · 2w agoJames Talarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves. And it worked.
One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · 3w agoBombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
James Talarico demonstrates the silliness of including the 10 Commandments in school. 🎯

People who deny climate change should be jailed. We have had fires here in the Var for ten days now. 35 houses lost in our village alone. Denial is the worst possible response.
Moody was FL AG when DeSantis funneled $10M in taxpayer dollars to his wife's sham charity, which transferred it to right-wing political committees. She and current FL AG James Uthmeier are as crooked as former FL/US AG Pam Bondi. www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/07/30/v...
Vindman demands Moody call for release of Hope Florida grand jury report
The Hope Florida scandal, involving the transfer of Medicaid settlement money, consumed state politics for a time last year.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 4w ago“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
