Keenly interested in just about everything; especially built form, nature and people I admire and like. Channeling my inner Woody Guthrie.
We need to start focusing on Russell Vought, Steven Miller, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. They are the evil behind this regime.

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year.
That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010.
Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Watch.

WELKER: On Amazon, there are dozens of "8647" products being sold and purchased right now. Should individuals selling or buying that merchandise be concerned they are going to prosecuted?

The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy

Why don’t we stop referring to the parties as Republicans and Democrats and call them what they really are? The monied, empowered class and the class of working people. The classic cyclical struggle between Capital and Labor.

I am so f’n tired of being asked for money by politicians across the country. GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS! This supreme court has screwed the average person, protecting first the economy and the big money that determines it, serving the interests of the few at the expense of the majority

Someone who has a Truth Social account should tell Trump to stop hiding there. Stop being a snowflake and post where those of us with a different opinion can share it with him.
This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

From a BSkyer I follow. What nonsense. Does he really think people are that stupid? He certainly is and that will be his downfall.

This rings so true.
The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.
Know the truth.

Absolutely true. An important caution.
I rarely sound alarm - but please: do not believe what you hear or read from the legacy outlets.
For US news - these either serve the WH by definition or are intimidated to serve (always their decision though)
For global news - US media spreads pro-RU, anti-EU views under “America First” label.
