Let’s be clear: Republican leaders share one very simple thing in common with the 9/11 hijackers:

They hate America.

Again, for the GOP, it’s not about making America great or successful. It’s about strip-mining the nation and selling it off for parts for the benefit of capital.

We have had 50 years to see how “free markets” foster wealth inequality, infrastructure collapse, death, disease, disability, grief, suffering, ecological destruction, and fuel fascism.

We’ve got ample research showing that the markets create, and do not solve our major problems.

The don’t care.

The entire purpose of the conservative movement has been tearing down public goods and any policies that limit or hinder in any way corporate profiteering and wealth accumulation by the powerful elite.

It abhors the social contract.

Destruction of modern society is the goal.

I was so bummed when my squash didn't make this year. A local farmer knew I was looking for a big blue Hubbard Squash. I didn't even know they came this big. I need to figure out who to share this with.

I got this strange feeling I missed something.
Oh well, back to soup making.

Yeah, I live in the area where MA, NH, and VT meet. It's an entire zone colder than Boston even and in the forest so dark is really dark. Lovecraftian dark.
I get used to it faster now, but at first I really miss that Chihuahuan desert.

You can now track politicians activity on the stock market. Want to follow the money? Now you literally can! This is so gross. 💰

It's New England. Some days we just don't bother with light in the sky at all. I didn't know until I moved here that the sun could be out and give zero warmth. When it bothers to be seen at all.

Or to put it a different way:

Earlier this year, a landlord in open court whilst on the stand said there was no way the discrimination they did was illegal because if it was, they wouldn't have been able to do it.

I know I keep harping on the "illegal =/= impossible" distinction but the fact that SO MANY PEOPLE continue to believe it is a huge reason why we're here.

When Democrats vote for Trump nominees they are voting for the Trump agenda. It's the same Dems every damned time. Hogg was right in wanting to primary them. The Dems have to have a clear vision of Democracy and these D's don't. They have $$$ in their eyes.

If you’re looking at this list and thinking “Wow! So many names that have been put forward as rising stars with presidential potential,” you now understand why people are disillusioned with the party.

Warning extremely violent.

Animal murder.

Israeli settler terrorists go on an animal killing spree because that’s the kinda people they are. And this is what Dems and the GOP defend.

"Fuentes said he wants to drag the Republican Party “kicking and screaming into the future, into the right wing, into a truly reactionary party.” His vision is coming true. Consider the leaked group chats of Young Republican leaders that were revealed by Politico earlier this month."

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 1d

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

This is the CEO of Upper Deck, Jason Masherah.
Upper Deck is one of the leading makers of sports cards & non-sports trading cards.

I wasn't expecting to read this tonight.
The uber wealthy control things a lot deeper than any of us ever knew.

Alt text: Screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Jason Masherah, President at The Upper Deck Company. The post discusses how speculative markets—including stocks, Bitcoin, and trading cards—are rising in value and pricing out many collectors. Masherah cites data showing that 50% of consumer spending in the U.S. comes from 10% of the population, with wealthy consumers driving prices across categories like concert tickets, luxury goods, and collectibles. He explains that buying $1,000 boxes of trading cards is now more about speculation than enjoyment and warns that such fragile, speculative markets can collapse if the money shifts elsewhere. The post ends by noting this trend isn’t sustainable and impacts everyone.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
