You Can't Have Both A Democracy and Billionaires
...which is how we got to the situation we're in.

Politically speaking, I think that democracy can stand up to quite a few rich people, if they are rich within normal parameters.
But we cannot have a democracy if there are billionaires. Millionaires, if we’re careful, but not billionaires.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

To the contrary, no one has any problem with warehouses. The problem is with concentration camps.

Yeah not a fan. He was adamant that his show would never turn into a brand. That's why you can buy Sesame Street toys galore but not Mr. Rogers toys.
Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time
