Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The biggest takeaway from James Comey being indicted by a criminal fascist regime is that the Epstein Files continue to be hidden by the same treasonous criminals who are accusing him of a crime.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself.

Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations.

That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression.

Voters in gerrymandered states find out quickly that their vote doesn’t count toward their representation, so they become apathetic.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf.

Turning the military on citizens.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year.

They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

It’s important to see Trump’s occupation of Washington, D.C., as a trial run for a possible military occupation of the United States, including martial law, later in his term. I suspect he’s most interested in learning six things... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trial-run
