Mammonite. One devoted to the service of Mammon, or the acquisition of wealth. First attested from 1855. I think we need to bring it back into use.

It won’t be long until the not-as-obscenely rich who have lost everything start jumping out of the Overton Window.

If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all.
Millions Stood Up: April 5 Hands Off Day of Action
I was the closing speaker at the ebullient San Francisco Hands Off rally, and when I got home later I scoured the news for  reports on the more than one thousand other rallies. Of course people would ...

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."

I think it’s time to stop comparing the current regime to Nazi Germany. That just validates them. Compare them instead to Stalin’s Soviet Union. Not a lot of difference (oligarchs will be oligarchs), and the Soviets were commies, don’tcha see.

What a brave new world we live in just a few days after the assassination of a CEO. It’s always tough to wrangle with the lines between justice, murder, and ethics but we owe it to ourselves to try.

Girls sports and bathroom hysteria were just the convenient talking points to make people angry.

Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed at marches or on social media.
