"Billionaire money is now gushing into the 2024 election. Just 50 families have already injected more than $600 million into the 2024 election cycle, according to a new report from Americans for Tax Fairness. Most of it is going to the Trump Republican Party."

~ Robert Reich

Why did WaPo ignore the story about Alito flying the insurrectionist flag, and why does NY Times constantly attack Biden? This: 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼

"What does it say about the US that Trump has minions behind him ready to put the infrastructure of authoritarianism in place, and legions of average citizens eager to see him break the traditions and handrails that once made America a model of democracy? I think it tells us that Trump’s rise is symbolic of a cultural breakdown that won’t be ameliorated by a single election."

"The Alabama decision is a direct result of the June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, decided thanks to the three religious extremists former president Trump nominated to the Supreme Court. That decision referred to fetuses as 'unborn human being[s]' when it overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion."

@wdlindsy I think they are close to if not already succeeding, the mindset of the populace is where I think both parties want it, that is most of the battle. I say both parties because I find both to be radically divisive, you aren't totally for me so your against me. Dangerous times we live in

PS I really enjoy your posts

@wdlindsy @stevensanderson actually that is not why i see them as decisive i see them that way for each their own ways, you can be discrete about your divisions and look sheepish or you can be a far side hardliner and in your face about it.

@wdlindsy I think the fringe of the republican party gets more screen time then necessary and it makes them seem like they are all overboard. I vote democrat but I don't see them as walking around in white robes

"Fourteen members of [RFK Jr.'s campaign] have resigned since the start of the year, including 12 field staff and two main staff, according to multiple sources who spoke with Mediaite on the condition of anonymity. …

A major point of contention within the campaign has been the eye-watering payouts to campaign leadership revealed in FEC reports."

As Maya Boddie reports, right-wing white Christians and their pastors — notably white evangelicals — are loving Trump's talk of "retribution" against his and their "enemies." Rather than alienating them, the rhetoric of bloodlust and enemies vanquished thrills them.

A powerful iteration of white Christianiity in the US thrives on generating an endless succession of enemies, to prove the righteousness of the chosen.

@unusual_whales I think they are acting in optics really, why should the ruling class degrade itself to the rules of the proletariat?

@wdlindsy what do you think? I feel you always have something fairly insightful to write
