The death of #LindsayGraham is a lesson in politics & society: when a notable fascist dies their biggest episode, for each of us, resurfaces to share & collectively remember thanks to social media. Like a playlist. And temporarily the fascist attacks us again, all at once, with their greatest hits.

I'll be surprised if Bolton -- a war criminal and career coverup artist -- is punished in a meaningful way. The FBI targeting is likely meant as a message for Trump's newer, inexperienced staff: never defy Trump and his mafia cohort, never profit independently of them, never step out of line.

Now that virtually every *modern* Republican voted for TrumpTax to become permanent, along with all the other economic havoc the #BigUglyBill will bring, can we all finally agree magats are indeed conservatives too? More extreme, yes, but still on the same mission of middle class destruction? K thx

I can't think of anyone currently running for office more dangerous than Andrew Cuomo. Not just for NYC but for the nation, because unfortunately NYC disproportionately affects the rest of the states. Bad politicians elsewhere don't have the same structural power. NYC: Do not vote for this man.

With Obama nominating Garland, McConnell (later) recommending Garland to Trump, to Trump hiring Dejoy, to Biden keeping Dejoy, to Biden appointing Garland, to Garland not prosecuting Trump... it's sure hard to tell the parties apart. #dejoy www.npr.org/2025/03/24/n...

In case you're wondering, yes, Trump, Musk and other radical Republicans doing all this kleptocrat shit will make Democrats look more like true opposition by the laws of political physics. And Dems are counting on that for your votes next election (if we have one).

I keep seeing people on this app begging Democrats to do something and oscillate back and forth between contempt for them and sympathy for them. Both versions are just sad. We were conditioned and large numbers of victims still don't realize it. 😔

Isn't it amazing how in the same election where we fumble the presidency we also don't shift the Overton window in the years prior, don't care about primaries in March, show up in November to vote blue no matter blah blah, and get Vichy Dems again to "stand up" to the presidency we just fumbled?

So with the day of infamy upon us, has anyone discussed the future of this app? I think Bluesky, as a for-profit entity known as a "benefit corporation," still exists within the sphere of profit and could be overtaken by a merger or a billionaire, if not simply gov manipulated a la Tiktok. Thoughts?

Replying to @cooperatives.bsky.social

Something else to consider: employee ownership has the power to reverse wealth inequality. If just 30% of businesses were worker-owned, it could drastically shift the wealth of the poorest Americans, including the disadvantaged and marginalized. It is the next step in our economic journey.

The Cooperative Economy@cooperatives.bsky.social

What if 30% of businesses were worker-owned? The bottom 50% of Americans' wealth would rise from 1.4% to 6.4% of total wealth. Median wealth for Black households would increase from $24,000 to $106,000. Those without high school diplomas would see their median wealth grow from $21,000 to $84,000.
