It's just become unambiguously clear to me that liberal democracy cannot survive extreme wealth inequality.

These people need to be stripped of their assets.

gotta say it’s just fascinating how normie libs have reacted to Trump with “this man is destroying the very fabric of our nation; we will need to pack the courts and hold truth and reconciliation commissions”

while billionaire libs have been like “ya know what this guy actually seems cool”

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

Also I’m tired of the fact that folks are talking about “Gen Zslang “ as a way of devaluing AAVE

but not talking about the easy racism and classism of the new standard of social aggression in women’s language

Remember this:

To all the non voters out there, this is what happens when you stay at home and think your vote won’t count.

Look at us now and look at what is happening to our country.

YOUR VOTES COUNT. We don’t want to go through this ever again.

Thanks,

Have you ever seen those absolutely bloated-with-blood-and-about-to-burst ticks that dogs pick up?
They’re so engorged on blood they’re almost drunk with it, and so round with feeding they can’t even move.
But they won’t let go of the poor dog they’ve latched onto, even if they’re full.

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.
