In fact, both Manchin & Sinema are "for sale". The primary difference is after Congress, Sinema sold herself to Hogan Lovells' Gov't Relations & PA practice, while Manchin sold himself to WV's earth/air polluting coal mining biz & promoting his new book. IMO being for sale is the MAGA way.

Thanks for this BRILLIANT bit!

Yesterday I was talking with my partner & wondering why in the world Joe Biden didn't get rid of DeJoy. This nasty policy just caps off a whole string of anti-democracy, harsh capitalism, bad policy rules by DeJoy.

Redundant? Please know I have not read the hundreds of responses to this post.

I agree with you 💯%. However, it's the rich white bros & their sycophants who are the puppet masters. Although the sadistic, sociopathic, wanna-be mob boss POTUS is a front man, the string-pullers are the real threats. Just saying.

Thanks for writing detailed word definitions. Don't care what folks say, we need to get back to language competence in order to have civics capacities.

FYI: The other day I did some brief/snarky definitions for plutocrats, oligarchs & authoritarians as a reply to a post. I like yours better.

Politico failed to name the "19 other states" suing over the increased tRumpian H-1B visa fee. However, was happy to find all Western Pact States — my WA State included — are part of the suit. Further, it appears to be only so-called "blue" states have signed on so far. Hmmm.

Do better, Politico.

This is what states' rights really means. Hooray to CA & all the other Western Pact states.

That's my understanding as well.

They resisted! Hooray 😍

Who wants this?
PLUTOCRATS — wealthy bros (read: or those held by them) who control govnmnt
OLIGARCHS — small group of bros who control govnmnt for corrupt & selfish purposes
AUTHORITARIANS — bros who favor concentration of power in an elite not responsible to the constitution or voters

RESIST!

Am keeping my 🤞for WA State folks, but really think hoping the feds will help is simply not going to happen. I like your idea of calling out the National Guard, which I understand is under your command for responding to natural disasters.

I appreciate your posts quite a bit. However, please stop obscuring the perpetrators with general terms meaning all of humanity. These "people" are white supremacist men upholding one of the cornerstones of the patriarchy — keep women & children fearful & abused. Just saying.
