The Bern Identity

Team working class. @stephaniequilao. Former Silicon Valley exec shining spotlight on techno-fascism and the Silicon Valley m/billionaires funding it.

It's significant that Elon announced that xAI bought X post market close on a Friday afternoon news dump. Why? In PR, it's seen as an attempt to avoid things like media scrutiny, public backlash or negative implications because weekend news is typically slow.

This part -> "Unless there's a massive pushback against Trump's EO, all workers will be next." Looking at labor leaders. This has to be a rallying cry. Enough is enough. It's time the working class unites en masse and fights back against Trump's attack on workers.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

Bernie Sanders response to Trump's Joint Address got 8 MILLION views. Meanwhile the Democrats "Sh*t Ain't True" video social campaign, the pink attire and protest paddles, and Slotkin's Republican lite Dem party response went flat and weak. Dems need to put Bernie in charge.

Please pay attention to what the tech billionaires are doing in SF and Oakland to politically take over those cities and turn them into Network States. This is the template of their vision for taking over the US govt. We're getting a glimpse now with DOGE.

Locally, tech and crypto investors have also been pouring money into Bay Area politics, with six of the top ten donor families representing tech/crypto industry interests.

Neoliberalism is a losing strategy - lost TWICE to Trump. You're either the party prioritizing working people or the party prioritizing capital. You cannot be both. Bernie's coalescing energy because he's calling out the oligarchy take over and fighting for giving working people economic security.

5 years ago on February 22 the day Bernie was in Iowa City for his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, he won the Nevada caucus by a landslide solidifying his front-runner status in the crowded 2020 Dem primary. And being totally real, that was the last time I had real hope for the future of our country.

2020 Nevada Democratic Caucus results. Bernie Sanders 47%. Joe Biden 20%. Pete Buttigieg 14%. Elizabeth Warren 10%.

“We have got to stop oligarchy… The American people are not saying cut taxes for the rich. They are saying the rich should pay more!” — Bernie Sanders addressing a packed hall in Iowa City

And according to Musk, the working class is going to have to experience "temporary hardship" for "long-term prosperity." Too many in the working class are already struggling living paycheck to paycheck while the 1% thrive. It's long overdue for the 1% to start paying their fair share of taxes.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

We have to stop framing the political narrative as left versus right, and frame it as the people versus capital. Each side is defined by whose economic interests are being prioritized. We have a 2-party system where both Dems + GOP fight for capital - their corporate + billionaire donors.

Elon wants to put computer chips in our brain, and his AI nemesis Sam Altman has been scanning people's eyeballs in orbs for his crypto coin. And btw Trump tech billionaire donors Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz's firm a16z is a big investor in World. www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...
