“Follow the Money”

If you want to see #USPolitics clearly, there is no better advice. America has a government brought to you and bought from you by #Billionaires.

#HCR has all the details in this excellent piece

In war there is always a silver lining for the #billionaire class.

Unsaid, or unconsidered by Trump in his quote ⬇️ is the little folks who have to pay for the consequences of this absurdly ill-considered war against Iran.

An oh yeah #affordability is not a thing

We all know the Straits of Hormuz was a huge point of vulnerability to the movement of oil tankers. It's ideal for asymmetric warfare. Mines are cheap, relatively easy to deploy and oil tankers are expensive

We’re in stage 4 of #facism in American

@rcbregman@mastodon.social lays out the case and it’s crystal clear. The job is not to be surprised, to understand the pattern and then to organize against it

The #MidTerms will be crucial but violence is to be expected

A good piece on #PeteButtigieg.

As the Trump train wreck continues to smash the economy and wreck geopolitical stabilit, #Buttigieg is well positioned to return the country to a sane path. He has the communication and governance skills required to rebuild the American Dream

Is this setting up for another #TACO outcome?

Ah yes now we've entered into another breath holding competition. These always work so well for President Trump

I'm surprised a demand to be installed as president for life wasn't made. I guess that'll be next month

Why is democracy failing?

🤔 Because the #UltraWealthy are buying it.

Additionally, the #SuperRich are leveraging their media platforms to convince voters that they need #Fascism

What we really need is a #WealthTax. Concentration of wealth is toxic to democracy

#PeterGeoghan ‘s examination of Reform party financing lays it out in all its ugly nakedness 👇

Simon McGarr completely captures the Irish government’s obtuse determination to do nothing in the face of the illegal and immoral behavior of many American tech enterprises

While many Silicon Valley leaders are overtly supporting a democracy subverting American regime, the Irish ruling class class clings to a see no evil obtuseness as the techno spigot pours money in

An all too predictable step in the progression to a #fascist America.

No doubt the #broligarchy will be facilitating #Caligula and his new Praetorian Guard

The #SiliconValley tech stack grows ever more toxic.

It’s now a race between #oligarchs and the 99% as to whether we will continue to have a #Democracy. The #oligarchy is driving hard to cash in on it’s paid for political class to disenfranchise #voters in this year’s #midterms

Hmmm since Presidential opinion polling is going so well, I expect there is no need for the #midterms election subversion division of ICE to be cranked up

Every American has to ask of themselves whether they support the imprisonment of children?

Do they believe in #HumanRights?

Do they support family separation?

Do they feel safer by imprisoning children?

Do they support sadism as part of American migration policy?

Does the imprisonment of children tick the box on cruel and unusual punishment?

I know where I stand? This is beyond shameful

Always good to listen to Mark Little who reminds that tech has, and can be, a positive force despite some of the more authoritarian and dystopian ideas predominating in #SiliconValley at the moment

This video analysis from the NYT Visual Investigations team couldn’t be anymore damning

Horrible things happen when poorly trained individuals are empowered to be cruel.

ALERT: EXTREME DISTURBING VIOLENCE
