Left: @janemayer.bsky.social on today.

Right: from Gangsters of Capitalism, about the period 1898-1934.
This proved to be one of the easiest parts of the process. The leaders of Meta, Amazon, JP Morgan, Google, OpenAl and a long list of other corporate titans seem to be making it clear that if protecting their profits means appeasing a corrupt autocratic regime, then that is what they will do. Smedley Butler knew a coup when he smelled one. He had been in many himself. He had overthrown governments and protected "friendly" client ones around the world on behalf of some of the same U.S. bankers, lawyers, and businessmen who were apparently trying to enlist his help. It had been largely on their behalf that Butler and his Marines trained and helped put into power the Hitlers and Mussolinis of Latin Amer-ica: dictators like the Dominican Republic's Rafael Trujillo and Nicaragua's soon-to-be leader, Anastasio Somoza, who would employ violent repression and their U.S.-created militaries to protect American investments and their own power. MacGuire's easy dismissal of electoral democracy recalled the disdain for other republics past U.S. presidents had shown. The resulting interference in other countries' affairs had been prodded on and aided by moneyed interests like J. P. Morgan; MacGuire's boss, Grayson Murphy; and their globetrotting lawyer friends at Sullivan & Cromwell. In other words, Butler knew these people. He knew the world they traveled in. He had made a life in the overlapping seams of capital and em-pire, and he knew that the subversion of democracy by force had turned out to be a required part of the job he had chosen. "I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for big business, for Wall Street and for the bankers," Butler would write a year later. "In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism."] And Butler knew another thing that most Americans didn't: how much they would suffer if anyone did to their democracy what he had done to so many others across the globe.

It is unconscionable to hold disaster victims hostage as part of a scheme to pass massive tax breaks for billionaires and wealthy corporations.

Let me politely articulate our position to House Republicans.

Get lost.
