"The Enlightenment hope—that the world would become more enlightened with prosperity, education, and growing social equality—has been proven to be a myth." devastating interview with a scholar of fascism intpolicydigest.org/rebirth-and-...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I sometimes wonder just how many corrupt individuals are actually IN the current administration.

Evidently, the majority of people in the USA are suffering immensely under narcissistic abuse by a small minority. Aargh.

We’ve already heard of dozens of locally led events popping up outside ABC/Disney offices and studios nationwide. Get out to one if you can — and make a plan to join us on No Kings Day. Let’s use our voices, dollars and people-power to show Disney that they’re standing on the wrong side of history.

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

This explains it better than I can

🚨 A FELON in the Oval Office. 💀 A PUPPY KILLER at DHS. 🚫 An ANTIVAX EX-ADDICT at HHS. ❌ An ILLITERATE running Education. 🥴 A DRUNK in charge of Defense. 🇷🇺🕵️ A RUSSIAN ASSET as DNI. ⚡💥 This isn’t politics. This is the COLLAPSE of governance in real time. 💥⚡

What are we now? North Korea?!? #PresidentSnowflake

Self-dealing POS.

WTH. The most incompetent administration in history is now taking direction from Libs of TikTok? I repeat ... WTH.

That's 6 million less taxpayers into our Medicare, social security, and unemployment coffers. Great job, MAGA. 😣

I'm pretty sure that if Trump met her in person, he would offer $50 million for her to recant her charges. Keep in mind -- he could do this for 200 women, and he would STILL be a billionaire. THIS is the power and money these brave women are up against.

🚨🚨🚨”What we heard today is a cover up. And it is a cover up of epic proportions. A cover up involving the US government, the justice system, rich and powerful individuals… and yes, a cover up by republicans in this chamber.”

Sing it.

Holy hell! How cool!!'

A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

The most powerful woman in the world right now? Ghislaine Maxwell. Prove me wrong.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

@governor.ca.gov @mayor.lacity.gov Please use your emergency comms and alert members of the community that if they protest, to immediately sit down at the first sign of trouble. This way, the agitators can be singled out and arrested. This will also help dispel the riot narrative and protect lives.

How a sick obsession is killing workers, democracy, and our planet… hartmannreport.com/p/the-billio...

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Am I the only one watching #Andor and thinking I'm watching the ghost of our Christmas future? #LongLiveTheRebellion

Why does the most lethal fighting force in the world keep losing $60m jet fighters?!?

I sure hope we're planning on retrieving our >$60 million F18 from the bottom of the sea before somebody else does ... 🤷🏻‍♀️

More #WasteFraudAbuse Why would we spend time and money on THIS?!? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

This is a severely damaged person. Why isn't the 25th Amendment being discussed?

Main Street is going to collapse from the weight of this tariff insanity. stocks.apple.com/Ar8ttarfmT52...

I'm sorry, whatever your position is on transgender folk, can you possibly imagine this beautiful woman walking into the men's room?!? Or having to go to a me s prison?!? What the actual hell?!? Leave these people alone!

Thank you, Wisconsin! Thank you, Cory Booker! RIP, Val Kilmer.

Is this what American greatness and superiority looks like? I think not.

So, this dude just blocked me because I was disagreeing with him about a point he was making. I expect more from creators on Bluesky. Heck, I even started off my reply with "respectfully!" Are we not open to discussions here? So I guess I'll just post my response here ...

It’s a long “memorandum,” but it’s essentially telling Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem to go after lawyers who challenge the federal government — which is many lawyer’s jobs. It’s basically a catch-all “let’s Paul Weiss whoever pisses us off” memo.

If this isn't weaponizing government, I just don't know what is!

These threats to governors that they need to bend the knee or else -- is authoritarian and fascist to the core. We need to do more to protest this crap and to back our Dem leaders!

"A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming, yelling, and complaining ..." They always tell on themselves, don't they? As loud as MAGA is about pedophiles, groomers, election fraud, tax fraud, etc -- it makes me think he's on to something there!

I've been screaming ALL this for years to anyone who would listen. Thank you to The Bear who has finally, beautifully, articulated it all. Now let's all work on taking that stupid TDS term *from* MAGA just like they co-opt other terms and phrases from reality. PS -- I feel seen. ☺️

This is how the 🍊one keeps his farmers in line while he screws with their market share. He buys them off --- it's now the name of the game.

As I read about how China and Russia are thrilled with the elimination of VOA and USAID, I am reminded about Orwell's 1984. 3️⃣ Superpowers controlling the world: Oceania (Americas+ Britain, etc), Eurasia (Russia+continental Europe), and Eastasia (China+South Asia). Are we headed this way now?

Max thinks I need a snow day.

OMGoodness - THIS 👇. Been screaming this into the void since 9/11.

Not one more fucking cent.
