Fascists lose in Brazil, Serbia, and Hungary. Rising protests in Albania, France, and other European countries against billionaires and corruption. Very encouraging...

It is painful to witness the images coming from the West Bank. The Israeli destructive machine stops at nothing: it uproots entire olive groves, erases years of labor, and devastates what for Palestinians represents life, history, and identity. The Zionist entity be forever dammed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Huge event. Failed Jared Kushner/Trump luxury hotel project planned for Belgrade played a role in starting expanded protests against Vucic.

Brazil just reminded the world that fascists can be defeated at the ballot box. Our turn comes November 3. Let’s make it fucking hurt.

That's right. Gain power and crush fascists. Enough is enough.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

Is this the justification/rationale for tech accelerationism??? If the “Antichrist’s arrival is a necessary precursor to the 2d Coming of Christ,” then “[s]hould we even be looking to delay the end of the world? Maybe we shld just accelerate, put the pedal to the floor &… get it all over with…” 1/

No matter your party, we can all agree that justice should never be for sale. That’s why I helped start the End Corruption Caucus in Congress, and why I’m fighting to bring the pardon process out into the open. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

Public Citizen@publiccitizen.bsky.social

Over 100 super PACs were majority-supported by a single donor. This means that one angry billionaire could sway an election. No one person should hold this much power in a democracy. End Citizens United!
