    This group of Jilted Revanchists that Trump primaried are going to chat, plot, and monkey wrench away. If Paxton ends up in the Senate, Cornyns a loser. If Talarico wins, Cornyn's vindicated. And vindication's big with these fellas.

  6. @cyberlyra Yes. And all of these past events have been solidly linked to #Russia

    Russia is not just a state, it’s a kleptocratic #mafia #ideology with a state. It’s connected with organised #crime, #crypto, #offshore banking, all kinds of dark money. These are just a few of it’s political tentacles.

    Everywhere around the world you look, you will find Russian #oligarchs with huge piles of dark money. Developing property, to launder money with blood on it. Trump was their hit.☝️

  9. Cornyn is lazy corrupt lawyer who styles himself the adult in the room but nobody actually likes but since his goal is keeping the #oligarchy going, the #oligarchs tolerate him and try to keep him in. When #ICE murdered #ReneeGood Cornyn immediately put forwarded a bill to prevent civil cases against ICE agents. He had a perfect voting record with #Trump, and would kiss his ass as much as necessary although in the past had expressed tepid reservations. Typical GOP insider coward....

  14. Highly recommend this book as an accessible, reasoned explanation of what Democratic Socialism is, how it evolved, and why it offers real solutions to problems of American authoritarian capitalism like climate crisis, economic inequality, rule by the super-rich, affordability, senior citizen poverty, student debt, lack of healthcare, etc. It’s brilliant. #books #politics #economy #DemocraticSocialism #democracy #oligarchs #inequality #affordability

  19. @paninid Well, it’s ‘memory holed’ in print - in the #Constitution.

    I know that (most) #Americans can *read* the Constitution. But they need to learn how to *use* the Constitution to #resist #oligarchs and #fascism.

    #MATH guarantees that #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting will accomplish that.

  24. I do not dispense #financial advice, but a #fraud is a different kind of thing and I am not worried about warning. I have removed all #indexfunds from my paltry 401K savings because I refuse to be defrauded by #elonmusk in this #SpaceX #IPO which is 100% about using retail investors as exit liquidity for #oligarchs. They #hacked the index fund as the last remaining instrument that is even slightly fair for normal savers. Get to your #401K and get out while you can!

  29. Large Systemic Change is Necessary

    Political change is necessary. Political change is ongoing. In some places much more productively than in the US. For alternatives to be used they must first be made available. Renewable energy and electrified transport. This happens at the level of government and industry. The big money. For that, we need to elect the right people. For that we need massed public pressure. And in some countries there are no real (or even fake!) elections. It’s in everyone’s interest who cares about the future of our planet and our species and our families to push climate change back. To slow it down. And then to stop it. And then to push it back. We must stop allowing “a handful of tyrants” to “ravage the world” (quoting Pope Leo). These tyrants are not only the heads of state but also the captains of industry and the mega billionaires. We must disempower these sociopaths, narcissists, fascists, greed-heads. They lend their support to political tyrannies because it’s convenient. And then increase pressure on their workers so much that Amazon workers have to pee in bottles on their shifts. The new gilded age is here. It is time for a new progressive reformation. Before the progressive age was The Age of Enlightenment which Wikipedia describes as:

    Characterized by an emphasis on reason, empirical evidence, and the scientific method, the Enlightenment promoted ideals of individual liberty, religious tolerance, progress, and natural rights. Its thinkers advocated for constitutional government, the separation of church and state, and the application of rational principles to social and political reform. Age of Enlightenment

    Tyrants and wannabe tyrants and populist-fascists the world over are trying to drag us back to the age of monarchy. They spread their lies over the airwaves and social Media and now with AI memes. They are trying to spread it to all the world’s nations so that no one troubles them about their looting and pillaging of their populace. For natural rights, progress, reason, and constitutional government to triumph, more than ever we need logic and rational principles to be seeded and take root and grow like kudzu over the garbage that has been spread everywhere, reclaiming the land of poular consciousness.

  34. @pluralistic on why ‘voting with your wallet’ won’t win elections. A blog post from 9/2025. While Cory makes some very good points, and I agree with his assessment that #Billionaires pay to control the narrative, I do believe that consumer ‘demand destruction’, that is refraining from all purchases other than essentials, is a potentially powerful tool for change. Yes, it takes motivation, organization and mobilization on a large scale to accomplish, but if ‘the people’ are looking for a way to disrupt the status quo, force price reductions, and punish corporate greed…then refusing to play the #consumption game and restricting purchases belongs in our strategy playbook. Cory acknowledges this in his post and recommends conscientious consumption that focuses on local businesses, mom-and-pop shops; to avoid rewarding #corporations owned by #oligarchs and wealthy investors. #voting #elections

  39. "WHY DO THEY HATE US THOUGH?"

    But let's also pause to discuss the Whiteness of making out benefits are paid out to people in 'Queens' ie 'The Other' and most White folk in a recent study said they'd rather have no benefits if it meant The Other got them as well.
    Bezos knows this, and uses it. And that's how bigots are the pawns of the Rich.
