By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

This and more… but it’s a good start.
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Food for thought. It’s absolutely necessary to divorce money from politics. Our elected representatives are there to, well, represent us. Not some corporation.
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Absolutely. It has always been a bad idea and that ruling - that corporations are people - was so inherently wrong. And has brought us shitheads like those in power at the moment.
The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
