Trump said he would try again for the Nobel Peace Prize this year so he began the year with… an illegal war of regime change in Venezuela, after spending Christmas Day bombing Nigeria.

Something americans need to understand is that your country has always been a colonial occupation war monster with an endless hunger for new resources and territories that not only has never shied away from mass death but in facts seems to seek it enthusiastically at every turn.

Exactly. We can't be so afraid to raise the stakes on these assholes. The intellectual underpinnings of the right wing movement are built upon 501c3 tax exceptions.
If we’re doing this, here are orgs we should strip of tax exempt status:
- Heritage Foundation
- Stand Together
- Americans for Prosperity
- Cato Institute
- Mackinac Center
- State Policy Network
- PragerU
- RealClear Foundation
- TPUSA
- Claremont Institute
- Council for National Policy
- SPN

They called the targeting of brown people of another faith and erosion of civil liberties the “patriot” act so you would feel guilty or fearful for being against it. So you would adopt an us versus them mindset. You were being groomed for autocratic rule all along.

A good number of the problems in the world today arise from the way the US model of philanthropy has been exported around the world. Normalising the idea of excessive accumulation and then deifying who have it as morally superior instead of what they really are - hoarders.
Musk is the richest person in the world and NOTHING CAN MAKE HIM HAPPY.

Billionaires have more class solidarity than we do.
UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices"

Trump’s decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico may be upsetting to some, writes @giladedelman.bsky.social, but “in a democracy, values are determined by majority rule, and they don’t shift in only one direction. They can shift back”:
‘The Gulf of America’ Is the Wrong Fight to Pick
The more that politicians mess around with place names, the more important it is to respond according to consistent principles.

How about we quit blaming anti-genocide voters for the mess we are in and put the blame where it belongs: the decades-long degradation of civil society for short-term profit. Excellent piece by @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social

If Caruso wants to be the hero of LA: stop with all these BS 'civic leader' efforts, leave Altadena alone, buy up the Palisades, build 100,000 units of fireproof, below-market housing, and gtfo. Last thing we need is to rebuild a bunch of 30,000 sq ft mansions. @dsa.la @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social

This is the progression of a monopoly capitalist state. Musk and his cronies have accelerated to the process to a degree that it is plain for all to see.
It’s like there is this straight line from Citizens United to “richest man in the world buys himself unfettered access to the Treasury”
