NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

May Day Reminder:

The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr.

UNACCEPTABLE.
Robert Reich post: If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Sarah Kendzior's nonfiction is scarier than Stephen King's fiction.

What is truly heartbreaking is that she has told us this for over a decade (much more) and still people haven’t heard the truth.
Excerpt from Hiding in Plain Sight by Sarah Kendzior (and those numbers that you see are FOOTNOTES. All of this is thoroughly documented. “For as the Mueller probe plodded along, Trump purged agencies and packed courts, including the Supreme Court appointment of Brett Kavanaugh, who has implied that he will never allow Trump to be indicted. 50 The only time Mueller broke his silence during the probe was to condemn a BuzzFeed article claiming that Trump had directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, a report that generated widespread talk of impeachment. 51 Mueller spoke out more strongly about that BuzzFeed article-which turned out to be accurate-than he did when Barr released a deceitful memo misrepresenting his two years of investigative work. The two BuzzFeed reporters who broke the Cohen story were the same who broke the story of Russian infiltration of the US Treasury less than a month before. An effort to discredit them seemed to be at play, but the Treasury story was never disproven, and Cohen later confirmed the central thesis of their report on him. "They may try to manipulate those at the highest levels of gov-ernment," Mueller proclaimed in 2011. "Indeed, these so-called iron triangles' of organized criminals, corrupt government of-ficials, and business leaders pose a significant national security threat." By 2019, Mueller had become a point in his own triangle. People keep looking for the smoking gun that will end Trump's corrupt reign. But it has been there the whole time. The gun is in his hand, and it's still smoking. Excerpt from Hiding in Plain Sight by Sarah Kendzior “It's smoking because he is shooting our country to death. It's smoking because no one will take away the gun. It's smoking because the very people tasked with protecting you reload it for him again and again. They will keep firing until all constraints are removed and there is no one left to gaze at the carnage and ask why nothing is being done.” Excerpt from Hiding in Plain Sight by Sarah Kendzior “In 2016, the same phenomena took place all over the Western world. Demagogic white nationalists rose, elites falsely played down their loss or the ramifications of their win, and hate crimes exploded when victory was achieved. It was all predictable, bur now there was no clear organized process to stop it. Instead, vulnerable people waited for responsible officials to intervene. They are still waiting.” To millionaire elites, many of whom already had an apocalyptic bent, a depopulated world is not a tragedy but an opportunity-and certainly easier to manage as they insulate themselves from the ravages of a literally scorched earth.

Hostage family member Gil Dickman speaks out after finding out his cousin was murdered, saying that the Israeli government threatened him and other hostage family members that if they spoke out against the government, they wouldn't save their family members.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

The last real chance to stop this through institutions was 2022. Even then, slim chance, due to complicity. I've tried to gently break to people that it already ended by reminding them they live in the Aftermath and are already learning to navigate it: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-afterm...

Don't know why folks keep pretending Trump succeeds due to "luck" instead of corruption or that Dems lose due to ignorance instead of complicity.

The actual dynamic is abuser/enabler -- and it's been that way for a long time.
