Eisenhower warned us about this. The military-industrial complex, which,it seems, operates almost entirely in secret.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · May 13

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget.

Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge.

Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

"Fiscal responsibility."

While Trump hosts his birthday parade in DC, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else on June 14 with nationwide protests. Find a No Kings Day event near you: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Invasion of the Body Snatching Fascists.

PBS News @pbsnews.org · May 9

“The Constitution is clear — and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land — that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion,” Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser, told reporters. “So it’s an option that we’re actively looking at.”

I watched it happen. Greed is an addiction. We're letting addicts run the world.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Are we there yet?

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · Apr 29

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
