100% this. The oligarchs have seemingly infinite dollars to use their algorithms to weaken our democracy by promoting decisive issues that in reality are non-issues, by dividing and conquering the UNITED States and raping and plundering all of us. @laurachapin.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/laur...
There are half a million NCAA athletes. The number of trans athletes is estimated to be maybe ten. Ten. Out of half a million. This is a fictional moral panic Republicans made up out of whole cloth and the @nytimes.com helped them promote.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

This needs to be front page news. But it won’t be - because Oligarchs decide what “news” we get to see.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
Note: does not apply to discontinuous states (Alaska, Hawaii) Just as the founders intended (before we had Alaska and Hawaii)
It seems like this is also a violation of the literal text of the Immunities and Privileges clause. “The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.“
This is the exact truth. With oligarchs controlling all the major news outlets, all the radio syndicates, all the tech social media companies, and the military-industrial complex it all makes sense why voters elected a convicted rapist / convicted felon. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.
Hey @nexton9news @kylec Has @bennet.senate.gov apologized for voting to affirm Marco Rubio as SoS?
Rubio doing his best to rescue the tourism biz. 🤡 @axios.com www.axios.com/newsletters/...
Read the replies to this post. Senator Durbin needs to share a retirement party with Sen Schumer. We need new leadership willing and able to fight to preserve our democracy
Google has massive control over which websites we click on, ads we view, and businesses we interact with. Things have to change. We’re building a strong coalition to break Big Tech’s grip on Washington.
It’s time for Dick Durbin to retire. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...
I wrote section 230 to protect the little guys and the upstarts like Bluesky. Repealing section 230 only helps Meta, Musk, and Donald Trump.
Times they are changing. Trump has enticed the oligarchs into believing he’s their pathway to even more obscene wealth. They might well be right, unless we can halt the coup.
Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:
I wish every news source would amplify this. Everyone needs to hear it!
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Why bother having a legislative co-equal branch of the government if they all the Executive branch to take over the power of the purse, tariffs, military and foreign aid decisions, etc?
The Trump-Vance administration has just used "emergency authorities" to "expedite" another $4 billion of military aid to Israel. Just a day after the administration approved $3.01 billion in arms & equipment sales to Israel. Admin cited "emergency" there as well to bypass Congress there.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I only know a few federal employees personally but I firmly support our Federal Government. As senior citizens, my wife and myself both count on Medicare and Social Security and greatly appreciate the HHS personnel.
REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!
Most American citizens sadly are willing to believe whatever they self-select to hear on Zuckerberg’s Facebook, Musk’s X, Murdoch’s Fox News, Bezos’ WaPo etc. The truth eludes them.
ust reviewed the coverage of Carl Nichols' decision enjoining Trump's shutdown of USAID. Only Politico (and my own post) note that Nichols specifically said that DOJ presented no evidence of fraud or corruption. EVERY OUTLET should emphasize this. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
