Looks to me like we’re fighting each other while the rich flee. We’re a bunch of suckers.

This is a different economy by orders of magnitude. “The boys” (my name for the ruling elite of this Regime) don’t need our money nowadays. They can subsist symbolically: trading with each other, creating an AI bubble…

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Self promo is my bane; it makes me feel like an immense tit when I post stuff about my writing (thanks to upbringing - never blow your own horn), but it is increasingly apparent that all it means is that I'm utterly invisible as a writer...
So, anyway.
I have books and stories out there.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Wonder if #JPMorganChase would even notice if - oh - 20,000 or so small accounts disappeared because of the fact that Chase supported Epstein until he died and when no other financial institution would:
Probably not because they have all the extremely wealthy perpetrators.

I expect the clergy to show up en force militant with their Eucharist and their willingness to #fightback Sunday in Washington DC.

Today I have $24 in #Chase.
I cost them more in AI accounting; however, I’m marching out of JPMorgan Chase with my effin’ $24 because I won’t continue to associate with them.
I may be quixotic, but Dimon headed Epstein’s bank of choice and was the only one still helping him until his death

Those survivors did what they bravely accomplished “for all of us,” as they’ve said.
We face that dehumanizing misogyny daily.
We face the impossibly high prison walls of dismissal, of subtle but unmistakable bearings of their assumed (by them) superiority.

While I’m slowly reading #Nobody’sGirl, I’m imagining a raspy-voiced old-guy ex-president and this or that billionaire letting Donny know in no uncertain terms to squash it, buddies all.
It’s a club of the Powerful where none of us are even human
I’ve seen this attitude in my own city of residence.

It says they got what they wanted. The media wanted a shit show that kept us glued to our phones and they got it. All they had to do was sell their soul - and sell America out - to do it. They LOVE this shit.
So what does it say about the state of the 🇺🇸 Press Corps that Trump sticking his finger in a reporter’s face and shouting “Quiet, Piggy!” at her was broken by @peoplemag.bsky.social?

Wondering if we’ll really learn who they are.

These are the sentences I’ve heard that I most agree with.
We want to know the names; we want to see the consequences for the immeasurable pain they caused.

Khanna: "There should be no buildings named after people in this Epstein class. There should be no scholarships named after them. They shouldn't be enjoying perks of being affiliated w/ corporations or universities. Many of the survivors will tell you some of these people still are celebrated"
