Connect all the dots during the first few weeks of Trump II and what do you see? An oligarchy unleashed and in the open. Their extraordinary wealth is buying the power to make them even wealthier. Some thoughts...

Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel just disclosed holding $800,000 worth of stock in Trump Media & Technology Group.

Reminder that Patel also has compiled an "enemies" list that is identical to Trump's.

Does anyone actually believe he won't be a loyal cog in Trump's vengeance machine?

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand.

But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.

I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...

Trump’s second term has begun, and it’s already exposing the American oligarchy for what it is.

How will we respond?

Trump has still not introduced a single plan or policy to lower grocery prices.

But he is taking action on day one to raise prices.

Billionaires Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk all had a front-row seat to Trump's inauguration.

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances.

We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we're seeing it again today.

People are asking how could Elon Musk know so much about the Pennsylvania voting machines? Maybe it had something to do with the coordinated plot by Trump allies to unlawfully take copies of the voting software from PA, GA, MI, AZ & CO and the DOJ did nothing about it? slate.com/news-and-pol...

Trump just reportedly pardoned Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman” who participated in the January 6 insurrection and stormed the Senate chamber.

Chansley responded to being pardoned by saying “NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!”

Since its inception, the Davos confab has justified itself — and thereby sought to justify global corporate capitalism — by embracing “corporate social responsibility.”

Guess what? It's all a lie.
The jig is up
Global corporations are now ending the pretense that they’re socially responsible. That’s progress, in a way.
