Now that people in China are calling Trump the Mao Zedong of America, and Musk's takeover and purge is being called reminiscent of Stalin, can we get all those 1st and 2nd generation Americans who were duped into voting for Trump--because their families fled communist regimes and the GOP

Turns out a lot of libertarians weren’t actually against government — just government by the people, for the people.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Trump has not uttered a critical word about Putin but he and his VP publicly belittled the leader of the nation Putin invaded.

Hi @teslatakedown.com! I have an idea to add as a mini-campaign. Create a range of loud, snarky bumper stickers for progressive Tesla owners (like Sheryl Crow) who bought theirs years ago for environmental reasons but now want to signal contempt for Elon and help tank further sales?

When the state takes over a private industry, we call it communism, but what do we call it when one private industrialist takes over the state?

Just finished reading thenewpress.com/books/scheme and it makes me appreciate @whitehouse.senate.gov all the more. Breaks my heart, though, that he's like a (male) Cassandra whom not enough people listen to nor believe. He's been warning us for so long.
Trump and his billionaire buddies are looking to get richer still — at the expense of working families, the planet, and our collective future.

According to Barron’s, Elon Musk’s wealth increased by almost $200 billion between November 5 and December 20. That means he could give $250,000 to every homeless person in the US and still be as rich as he was on November 5.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

I think the right word for this moment is EGREGIOUS:
Egregious wealth & wealth inequality
Egregious greed
Egregious cowardice, cravenness, & capitulation in advance
Egregious corruption (think SCOTUS)

Egregious cruelty, indecency, & indifference

The threat of a "runaway" constitutional convention is not hyperbolic. In 2022, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social talked to @gracepanetta.bsky.social about the conservatives' interest in a state-led constitutional convention.

Inequality is so extreme, it’s growing even among billionaires—seriously, even billionaires.
The best predictor of a billionaire’s 2024 gains? How much they already had.
This is how markets work: left unchecked, they’ll keep concentrating wealth at the top. It’s wild—and it’s unsustainable.

Had this on my "to watch" list, but the events of last week served as an extra nudge. There's some dramatic license taken, but much of this really happened. Hwang Jung-min as Chun Doo-hwan is SO good (in the worst way!). This Korea's entry for the Oscars this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_zr...
