This is an open fascist meeting. Naming and targeting organizations and people with in their rights. Yet they are calling them the enemies.
I cannot believe any media should not report it this way.

Speaking of.
This is pretty much an open fascist party meeting.
All these people are just naming people or organizations they want to target.

Very inventive of Trump to imply that since Kennedy used the NG to protect people's civil rights or Constitutional rights. I can then use the NG to violate people's civil and Constitutional rights.

Idk why you mention Abbott. He is a fascist.
He bussed migrants to your state.
He used people as political pawns.
He used his own National Guard in migrants under Biden.
Stop this decorum shit. We are under a fascist regime.

So farm most elected Democrat politicians have given very tepid posts about what is happening in Portland.
Thank you Kat for at least calling this out what this is becoming.
Democrats should be mentioning the military personal committing illegal. Also future funding if we still have Congress.

This post seems so matter of fact.
Why aren't you Democrats screaming fascist occupation.
Closer to authoritarianism?
Not too confident this will ever be stopped l.

Who wants to bet Klobuchar bails out these cash crop farmers, while the rest of the country suffers.
Most of them will never vote for Klobuchar no matter what.

Fascism Senator.
Idk what the point of boasting on bipartisan with a full on fascist party.
Klobuchar is very much controlled opposition acting as if nothing is wrong with Republicans and our democracy.

People. This is what Controlled Opposition looks like.
A Senator thinking "business as usual" while destruction of Democracy is happening.
Taylor Swift should not be our #1 or 1 million problems/solutions.
Klobuchar is not saving our country.

Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · 24d
We are in the thralls of fascism and this Senator talks about bipartisanship and Taylor Swift.
Ticket prices are waaaay on the back burner.
Klobuchar is not fighting for you and distracting you by thinking she is accomplishing something while our democracy collapse.
She is Complicit.

Can we perhaps if there is another election, that a party perhaps breaks up these media conglomerates and pass laws to prevent this.
We can deduce that neoliberalism is not the best when we give corporations what they want then cozy to fascism.

Must stress these are cash crops that feed another country's livestock feed. Not going to 100% argue against this, but we are bailing out people who do not even feed us.
To stress, this is not some nationalist, Mmerica First. Just pointing out who we are bailing out.

A bill will be introduced and betting half of Democrat Senators vote for this.
Just politics idk why, Dems will never get a majority of farmers to vote for them.
While I don't want to punish people, the farmers put this ALL on them and will never learn.

Yes, the sad part is Cuban Americans were awarded some of the most friendly immigration/asylum opportunities of any group.

Government can build housing as necessary infrastructure for it's citizens. I mean we build more roads, but what benefits citizens more?
If a 50 unite building cost $15 million, then amortize the cost over the 50-100 years the building will be used.
This is how housing should be approached.
Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · Aug 5
Personally I want housing built and you can't and shouldn't eliminate private building of course.
The government should much be more involved with treating housing as infrastructure. Again, Vienna Housing model is the best.
Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · Aug 5
Housing is now a vehicle for investors and capital ownership to gain max profits. Aka Late Stage Capitalism, aka Unfettered capitalism.
Prioritizing profit over housing demand is the problem. I'm not a believer that regulation is what is holding why housing is not built.

Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · Aug 5
So I admit I dived into this w/o separating what I self describe as Left.
Personally I was defending the narrow description of relying on profit motivation. Yes capitalism can be critiqued.
In short build housing, YIMBY. I prefer Vienna style as a solution over profit motivation.

Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · Aug 5
What a non sequiror.
ImThe 15 years that companies decided not to build to meet demand. Why we are here.
The government could have forced their hand but again Neolibetalism rules the day.
Idk where the other was shanty towns

Yes. I don't get from Abundance urbanist they ignore how companies built for profit.
Building and pricing max, only to have investors and second home buyers purchasing the inventory.
1
Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · Aug 5
Yes. There is so much breakdown on what I will categorize as 'profit motive housing'
Good point about speculation.
Companies are seeking max profit, not to provide adequate housing.

Shawn @shawnelder.bsky.social · Aug 3
I have watched many urbanist channels who push Abundance.
Every solution is let private companies build focusing on less regulation.
It's strange they never critique how private companies choose not to build past 15 years & never build "affordable". Government always has to impose some rent control
