Zelensky found out what it was like to be a US governor in a blue state asking Trump for medical supplies during the pandemic. Or disaster relief after a wildfire or storm. It’s not his money, but he fully expects you to beg and plead for it and tell him how wonderful he is.

I had talked about this yesterday when @reuters.com broke the story. It's still not being reported as widely as necessary, but @maddow.msnbc.com is talking about The Treasury Breach by DOGE! Pay attention and share these stories big time!

Excellent! So glad that you posted this.
@sanders.senate.gov has been a champion of employee ownership for much of his political career, speaking on its benefits and sponsoring various bills to support the model. He has always talked about the concentration of wealth/power and oligarchy, and how employee ownership can be a viable solution.

Why? Because potholes are good?
Buried in the flurry of Executive Orders last night is one that halts all funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Yes, the law that Republicans and Democrats came together to pass that fixes our roads, modernizes old bridges and makes drinking water safer.

Thread. They're just warming up.
So what have the GOP been up to in their first 12 days?

Let's see, shall we? ⬇️

H.R.21 To amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit a health care practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

The Worker Co. podcast is highly recommended for folks interested in real world examples of employee ownership. Employee ownership is an increasingly popular model for saving businesses/jobs and building worker wealth. The podcast is a project of the Minnesota Center for Employee Ownership.

Judge Merchan has been reasonable in suggesting that Trump's sentencing should not involve jail time.

Trump’s response has been an attempt to weasel out of any consequences.

I would applaud Merchan if he told Trump that because he spit on the court’s goodwill, he now has to be incarcerated.

Local economies also have greater resilience.

Folks need to learn how to transform their communities.
Research shows when dollars are spent at locally owned businesses, those dollars recirculate through the local economy. One study found that $100 spent at local stores generated $45 of local spending, compared to $14 for a big-box chain. The Local Multiplier Effect works.

Employee cooperatives are examples of economic democracy in action.
Think different in 2025:

Find and support businesses that are actually doing the right thing. Money talks—spend it where it matters.
