Historians have thrown Jefferson under the bus over the last 25 years. Now 250 years has passed should he be left twisting in the wind? Can his contributions to American democracy and its republic be ignored? His omissions are problematic, but can this New Year be a time to focus on the idealism? 🙏

Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.

We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.

We need a wealth tax.

Amid all that sucks about MAGA and Trump Republicans, what's the sin that's hardest to forgive? America ain't cool anymore. Jim Morrison must be tuning in his grave at 45 rpm. Hunter S Thompson's rate of rotation would destroy any tachometer or defy any effort at measurement. Imagine his reactions.

We were warned - de Tocqueville died in 1859. He'd have had a conniption fit if he'd foreseen the likes of Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Page, and Brin conspiring against the masses.

Trump: Farce Master Extraordinaire by spine-film
When he was with those kids at an EO signing I was reminded of when Saddam Hussein used those hostage kids as human shields on Iraqi state TV.

There is a sublime irony in having a machine verify your identity. Robots are deciding whether or not we are human. In other words, inhuman agents get to arbitrate what constitutes a real person. We are submitting to the automation of injustice. Every corporation should have human customer service.

Well, it happened again; Facebook suspended my account. It has lead me to this platform. I've added Nader, Stone, Gibney, and Sanders to a list, and I'm already feeling better about my world view. If you have hints about enhancing my echo chamber experience, please comment... comment... comment...
