Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with providing awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket price.

The DoJ will announce an antitrust lawsuit against the company this week.

This is a big deal.

@rbreich Eddie Vedder double-checking to make sure it's not April 1st.

@soulexpress @RBReich
Even a local theatre, known for supporting the arts, has fallen prey. An international standup comedian’s show can only be booked thru Live Nation, at venues both large and small.

The Appeal to Heaven flag isn't just tied to Jan 6.

It's a Christian nationalist symbol.

Christian nationalists believe that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but instead the law of God as they interpret it.

Do you see the problem with Alito flying this flag?

Judges should not ventilate political nor private opinions per definition.

Trump keeps touting plans to deport millions of undocumented workers.

His vile attacks are as dumb as they are racist and xenophobic.

These people strengthen our communities, contribute to the economy, do essential jobs, and pay billions in taxes.

Don't fall for Trump's lies.

Remember: If markets were actually competitive, corporations would keep their prices as low as possible as they competed for customers.

Instead, the concentration of the American economy into the hands of a few corporate giants gives them the power to raise prices with impunity.

Recalling that this is called "oligopy" as distinct from "monopoly" and suggestive of a political framework called "oligarchy" to which we are well on our way.

Memo to the media:

If you're trying not to "take sides" in a struggle between democracy and fascism, you've taken the side of fascism.

A pro-insurrection flag flew outside Samuel Alito's home after January 6th.

Clarence Thomas’ wife worked to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices are set to rule on cases related to January 6th and subverting the election.

Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

Trump said that he's "looking at" policies that would restrict birth control access.

He of course later backtracked, but look at his record.

He made it easier for employers to remove birth control coverage from insurance plans.

His Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Hello?

Trump's second-term promises:

-The largest deportation effort in US history

-Send the National Guard into cities

-Appoint a special prosecutor to go after political opponents

-Purge the federal civil service of anyone who questions his views

Fully unhinged.

As they hoard more wealth, the ultra-rich will do anything to protect it.

They know Democratic majorities would pass higher taxes, stricter regulations, and enforce anti-monopoly laws.

This is why billionaires are doling out big bucks to Trump’s fascist campaign. Be warned.

Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor.

They're acting like an arm of Trump's campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.

In his speech to the NRA, Trump yet again suggested he might serve more than two terms.

The 22nd Amendment bars that, but if the 14th Amendment didn't apply to him, why should any others?

If Trump wins, do you believe he will leave office at the end of a second term?

On the upside, he'll stroke out way before that. On the downside, they'll pick a young VP who'll be dictator for life (at least until they have him assassinated, I suppose), when they decide to get rid of him (and blame non-christians, of course).
