The republicans must be replaced by people that want democracy. The vote is a right and privilege greater than other rights as all are dependent on the ability to vote for your principles. Relinquishing your rights will lead to the destruction of your country and your life as evidenced in every other dictatorship experienced through the centuries. https://crooklyn.social/@crooksandliars/111896199212546352

Overturn Citizens United. That SCOTUS decision was such nonsense. SCOTUS has lost its credibility as a bulwark of justice. I instead it has been bought by the rich corporate class. https://masto.ai/@rbreich/111811967709270466

The related interview today on The Bulwark podcast was excellent. I appreciate the perspectives, especially that Capitalism and Capitalists have different perspectives, capitalism requires democracy while capitalists drive toward any system that allows the capitalist to own monopolies.

There is some legitimate basis for grievance underlying the MAGA movement. It’s just so tragic that so many people have been tricked by Trump and his hangers-on. Trump is merely a conman looking to save himself and monetize the role. https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/111763254990037027

I think I'm done with #Microsoft (M$) at this point. I won't be renewing my yearly #Microsoft365 subscription for #Office. I'll just have to get along without #Outlook. I stopped using #OneDrive a while ago. Glad I did or else they would have stolen all my personal documents by now for their AI.
I guess this means I'll have to stop using their email and Outlook too and settle for something crappy. The best alternative seems to be #Thunderbird. Ugh. Maybe I will pay for #ProtonMail then.

In an ethics class at my Jesuit undergrad school I was informed that "the Ends justify the Means" is not a legitimate rationale. It would seem that the behavior of the evangelical community associating with the GOP demonstrates this as fact. https://sfba.social/@skykiss/111744810332388274

What can I say...
#Trump is Americas biggest A**HOLE and in that respect, he is second to none.

Former President Donald Trump attacked Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) for crying over her late husband’s funeral in a deranged social media post.
This isn’t the first time Trump has attacked Dingell over her late husband. At a campaign rally in Michigan, Trump suggested John Dingell was “looking up” at the world from hell

Just finished the digital version of Cheney’s book. It is a very good review and analysis of the Trump insurrection and attempted coup. The digital version includes many original audio clips , rather than just a reading of the text. Cheney reads her book. It is nicely organized and written in a style I enjoyed. I would recommend it to anyone that has not been closely attentive to the House committee on January 6 and the DOJ indictment of Trump now pending trial.

Washington's resignation speed after the end of the Revolutionary War is remarkable in itself and especially in contrast with the Trump insurrection in 2020. As a mature person with a strong personality, Washington chose to reject being an accepted dictator. In contrast, the weak narcissist Trump cannot gather enough maturity to pass the baton. Instead he wants to become a dictator and take revenge on everyone disloyal to him.

No surprise here. Although I figure there are many other interested 'customers' including China and Saudi Arabia. The $2B Kushner kickback is the big red flag for Saudi Arabia interest. https://mastodon.social/@realTuckFrumper/111628354786605848

A whole lot of people can't go to the dentist because it's so expensive. Everyone has teeth. They're not special. Furthermore, the health of one's mouth can greatly inform one's overall health. Why can't it just be a basic service. By sheer fucking volume alone, they'd make a shit ton of money. Unless the idea is to work less and charge more.

The fascist rich have planned this impending dictatorship for decades.

They know that dictatorship, alone, will save their privilege.

It requires wiping out difference - from queerness to skin colour to anti-capitalism.

Currently, the U.S.-Israel gang is proving its credentials to its owners.

The fascist oligarchs are psychopathic, so potentially eager to create ww3.

Their mantra: "Even if billions perish in the coming climate catastrophe... we shouldn’t be too concerned"
